Restaurant giant McDonald's is providing its UK workers with new designer uniforms, in a "mark of respect" for its staff.

The new outfits, designed by Bruce Oldfield, include a polo shirt and baseball cap, both in black and mocha.

McDonald's said its staff did a "challenging job" serving two million people daily. The new outfits would help them "feel good" in their role.

Bruce Oldfield's clients include Jemima Khan and Catherine Zeta Jones.

Mr Oldfield said it had been great fun to design the "contemporary look" for employees at the fast food firm.

The outfit also includes black trousers and a black belt.

For managers, the outfit involves black suits combined with shirts in white or biscuit and a selection of three ties.

McDonald's has been trying to improve the image of working at the fast-food chain.
