Think aprons are for the weak?

Incorrect: Aprons are for thebraveandtidy.

Although they all protect you and your clothes, not all aprons fit the same way on every body.

An apron on a white background.

There are different styles for a reason.

At the grill, whats comfortable for a linebacker is likely going to be different for a ballerina.

Picking an apron is a matter of the fit as much as which style you prefer aesthetically.

The bib apron

I saved the best for firstthe best one for me, anyway.

Its my favorite one to wear because I like a lot of coverage from splatter.

I recommend looking for one with an adjustable buckle for the neck strap.

If that’s the case, look into the cross-back style apron.

The covering section is the same as the bib style apron but theres no neck loop.

Instead, there are only two straps.

Amazon Prime

Theyre attached at the top of the chest, cross behind your back and loop through the hip section.

If you have broader shoulders than I, you probably wont have the same strap issues.

Your arms feel free, and theres nothing hanging around your neck to get in your way.

If you want to test it out first.

The smock

Something about a smock just looks cozy to me.

A smock doesn’t have straps like the others.

Amazon Prime

Nothing to buckle and tighten here, or loop through there.

Instead, the design features something more like arm holes and an open back.

Its like wearing a loose, open-back shirt.

Amazon Prime

Smocks have plenty of coverage to protect you and your clothing from top to bottom.

These four apron styles are universal for many different activities and materials.
