Lafont is a Timeless Symbol of French Work Wear

Born from a tradition of craftsmanship, utility, and respect for the professionals who wear it. Rooted in France, Lafont has spent generations refining the art of durable, functional uniforms, evolving from classic labor garments to purpose-built apparel for today’s culinary and hospitality industries.

What began as authentic French workwear became a natural fit for the kitchen: a space where discipline, skill, and passion meet. Lafont transitioned into chef wear not through trend, but through purpose by applying its expertise in robust workwear to the demanding environment of professional kitchens.

This authenticity and commitment to quality earned the brand a rare distinction: Lafont is the Official Apparel Partner of the Michelin Guide, a global symbol of excellence in gastronomy. This partnership reflects Lafont’s alignment with the world’s most respected culinary standards—discreet, but deeply meaningful to chefs who take pride in their craft.

Style with Substance

The Lafont aesthetic is rooted in a clean, classic, and confident silhouette that feels unmistakably French: effortless, understated, and practical by design.

You’ll find thoughtful tailoring in every detail, precise lines, balanced proportions, and silhouettes that allow comfort without compromise. Lafont’s approach to style is intentional: apparel should support the chef’s presence in the kitchen, not distract from it.

Colors remain timeless. Cuts remain modest, flattering, and adaptable. The look is neither loud nor minimalist for trend’s sake, it’s purposeful, authentic, and quietly elevated. For chefs who value heritage, Lafont delivers a sense of belonging to a lineage of craftsmen.

Whether outfitting restaurant kitchens, front-of-house or hotel teams, Lafont brings a cohesive European aesthetic that elevates staff presence and enhances the guest experience.

Made to Work

True to its roots, Lafont is built for performance and longevity. These pieces are designed to handle the heat, literally and figuratively, of the professional kitchen.

Every garment is engineered with the chef’s daily rhythm in mind:

  • Exceptional comfort for long hours on your feet, in motion, and under pressure
  • Durable fabrics selected for resilience, structure, and easy care
  • Functional cuts that allow movement without excess bulk
  • Thoughtful pocketing and utility details that support real-world use

Lafont is for chefs who expect their uniforms to perform with the same consistency they demand of themselves.
