With the increasing amount of female chefs who work in kitchens, cater at private events and generally take pride in their appearance, there is now a market for more stylish chef uniforms. Female chef coats have evolved to become more tailored, however the only trousers out there are baggy, unflattering and aimed at a unisex market — until PolkaPants!

Over her years in the kitchen, Australian-born, London-based chef Maxine Thompson found herself frustrated at the unbecoming trousers she and her fellow female cooks had to wear, so she began sketching the ideal female chef trouser - one designed for functionality and comfort, but also for style. And are proudly made in Tottenham.
