Can new chefs wear black chef jackets?
just for a bit of context, i am freshly out of a 1 year culinary course, 17y.o. and i just got a job in a kitchen because my teacher noticed how talented i am, and recommended me for a job in a restaurant he works in part time. my teacher gave me a uniform (that i usually wear in school) but id like my own uniform as the one from school is very traditional, white, black apron. i am a 17 year old girl with purple hair and piercings. white doesn’t suit me.
many of the chefs at the restaurant i work in wear black but i’ve heard a lot of people say that only head chefs can wear black, is this true? am i allowed to wear black instead? i feel like i should just ask if im allowed to wear a black one but im really nervous as this is my first job and i don’t wanna mess it up because i love being in the kitchen 😅
