Chef Clothing
Chef clothing can come in various colours and styles and often in the kitchen the uniform can indicate rank. Chefs operate in a fast paced dangerous environment therefore it is essential that what they are wearing is comfortable and practical.
The most popular type of chef wear is the double breasted white jacket, this is iconic and often reflects on the cleanliness of the kitchen by demonstrating that they are wearing clean garments, whereas with a darker colour dirty marks could be disguised.
The trousers often differ from chef to chef but the most popular is the hound tooth blue and white design or the small chequered type.
The traditional large white hat has been common place for many years, this is now iconic but also serves a practical purpose preventing stray hairs and beads of sweat dropping into the food as it is been prepared. Some chefs opt for a more modern baseball cap and some prefer a bandana as it is light weight and cooler to wear.
Waiting and front of house staff often also have their own uniform dependent on the restaurant. Within restaurants and bistros it is trendy to wear black. Some people go for a full length apron offering maximum protection, others just for a waist apron designed to catch most types of splashes and slips, and some go for a small apron which act more like a money pouch.
