toques

Brimless kitchen hats

Toques are close-fitting, brimless hats.

In culinary contexts, a toque is the tall white hat worn by chefs—the pleats traditionally indicating levels of expertise.

In Canadian English, toque (sometimes spelled tuque) is the standard word for a knit winter cap: Don't forget your toque, it's freezing out.
