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. The mode was revived in the 1930s. Now it is primarily known as the traditional headgear for professional cooks, except in Canada where the term toque is primarily used for knit caps. Touk is simply a cooler way to spell toque. |
