The look

Top
White button-up shirt or white T-shirt, sleeves rolled
Accessories
Apron tied at the waist
Hair
Neatly tucked back

Makeup

Hair: Tuck hair neatly back, as a real chef would, so it stays out of the food.

How to put it together

  1. Put on the white shirt and roll the sleeves to the elbows.
  2. Tie the apron snugly around your waist.
  3. Tuck your hair neatly back.
  4. Add optional chef hat, mustache and clipboard menu.

Two variations

  • Pastry Chef

    Dust the apron with a little flour-colored chalk and carry a tray of pretend cupcakes.

  • Grill Master

    Wear a colorful apron and a cloth over your shoulder, with a paper menu in hand.

Safety note

Use a hypoallergenic adhesive for a stick-on mustache and remove it gently. Keep apron ties short so they do not catch or trip you.
