Chef's wear is a type of clothing worn by chefs in the kitchen. An APRON is a garment worn over the front of the body and tied at the waist, typically to protect the clothes underneath. A TOQUE is a tall, round, pleated, white hat worn by chefs. Aprons are also worn by chefs, but they are usually shorter than an APRON and have pockets. A HAIRNET is a type of head covering worn by chefs to keep their hair out of the food.
