A toque (/toʊk/[1] or /tɒk/) is a type of hat with a narrow brim or no brim at all.[2]
Toques were popular from the 13th to the 16th century in Europe, especially France. They were revived in the 1930s; nowadays, they are primarily known as the traditional headgear for professional cooks, except in Canada, where the term toque is used interchangeably with the French Canadian spelling of tuque to refer to knit caps.[2]
