Chef hats, also known as toques, are traditionally white and pleated, symbolizing cleanliness and the chef's level of experience. The number of pleats is often said to represent the number of techniques or recipes a chef has mastered, with the classic toque having 100 pleats. They also serve practical purposes, such as keeping hair out of food and absorbing sweat.
