Southside Social unveiled a new extensive dress code policy Wednesday evening on its Facebook page.
The business will no longer allow patrons to wear hooded sweatshirts, shorts below the knees, jerseys unless it’s game day, sunglasses after dark, loose or baggy clothing, among other changes.
The new dress code prohibits bike or gang colors but does not specify which colors patrons can and cannot wear. It also bans backward baseball caps, visors, skull caps and do-rags.
The status received hundreds of comments voicing frustration with the new policy along with allegations Southside Social is targeting blacks. The post has been shared more than 300 times.
