Traditionally white, this attire serves a practical and symbolic purpose. The double-breasted jacket can be reversed to hide stains; the heavy cotton fabric protects from heat and spills. The toque’s height once signified a chef's rank and experience. Today, this attire continues to denote professionalism and remains a ubiquitous emblem in kitchens worldwide representing cleanliness, efficiency, and respect for the food prepared.
