This type of chef’s hat is known as a ‘toque blanche’ which means white hat. This is worn due to the health department requiring restaurants employees to wear a hat or a hair net to restrain their hair. The white hat also signifies hygiene, cleanliness and helps to keep them cool when working in a hot environment.
The white chef hat is a great pick for dress up days at school like European Day, taking on the role of a French or Italian chef or it could be for World Book, dressing up as the famous Alfredo Linguini from the movie Ratatouille. You could even get a fake rat a place him under the hat for a funny, creative touch to your costume!
