Chef's attire typically includes a white jacket, which is both practical and symbolic of cleanliness in the kitchen. The jacket is often made from thick cotton to protect against heat and spills. Chefs also wear a chef's hat, known as a toque, which signifies their rank and helps keep hair away from food. In addition to the jacket and hat, chefs usually wear aprons to protect their clothing and non-slip shoes for safety. The attire is designed to be functional, allowing chefs to move freely while maintaining a professional appearance in the kitchen environment.
