Why this shape

A relaxed straight leg is the working cut: it gives the knee room to drop to a low shelf and does not bind at the thigh when you step over a hose. The elastic waistband with a drawstring holds a position all shift where a button waist slides as the day goes on, and reinforced knees put the extra fabric exactly where a cook wears through first. Ankle length keeps the hem out of standing water instead of wicking it up.

Good for
Long shifts, prep days, anyone who wants room through the leg rather than a slim cut.
Not for
A tailored front-of-house look — this is a relaxed silhouette and it reads as kitchen, not dining room.
Care
Machine wash and tumble dry on the commercial cycle a working pant actually sees. The spandex content is what holds the shape; skip high heat and it keeps its recovery.
