When you hear the words "chef" or "nurse" you probably think at a chef dressed in white and with a large hat, and at a nurse also dressed in a fancy white uniform. The standards in chef and nursing uniforms include a wide range of clothing equipment, and these days you can find a variety of uniforms for sale on the internet.

Many chefs do not wear their full uniforms while they are working, but usually the respectable hotels and restaurants insist that their chefs wear all the uniform. These uniforms are made of several pieces. From these, the most popular is of course the chef hat, which is a big white hat with special decorations on top. Also known are the chef's apron and scarf. Most chefs wear these pieces all the time.
