Chef's Apron

Chef coats apron -

The clothing that chefs wear has not really changed so much over the years. Just two or three decades ago, chefs would parade around their kitchen dressed in white with a big white puffy hat. The stripes on the apron, the chequered shoes, in fact chefs look a lot more like pirates these days with their scarves tied around their heads! Interesting how the apron has always remained, obviously from necessity and practicality rather than a fashion statement. After all, the fashions come and go and headgear changes all the time, the practicality of the apron determines its permanent and simple addition to the apparel of the chef.

You only have to enter any kitchen shop these days to see the variety of aprons that you can wear for food preparation. Chef wear has almost become a fashion of it’s own in the last few years too. Who would have thought that seeing the likes of Gordon Ramsay walking in slow motion through a hallway ripping off his chef attire could be classed as ‘sexy’? Let’s face it, until relatively recently, most TV cooking shows were dominated by women.
