By many accounts, chefs' uniforms were still being developed in the 17th century, and there was no one official way for a chef to dress. One custom had already become popular however-- the tall, hat (called a toque). This began in the 1600s, as a way to identify the chef. The style was modeled after the hats worn by priests from the Orthodox Christian church; these men were widely admired and trusted, and evidently, it was decided that wearing a tall hat would give chefs more credibility. But it was not until the 1800s when all chefs began to wear an entirely white outfit, including a white coat; a tall, white hat; and a white apron.
