14 Essential Kitchen Aprons You'll Use for Every Holiday
Aprons are the unsung heroes of the kitchen. They help protect you from splatters and keep your clothes clean while you work—read: no more marinara stains on your white shirts—and, if you're lucky, also include pockets to help hold tools while you move between stations. If you're in the market for one, there are plenty of designs out there to fit your own personal style. Looking for something simple? Try Sur La Table’s Chef Signature apron or Williams-Sonoma’s linen apron, which come in clean colors and will match almost anything. In the mood for something more bold? Anthropologie has beautiful floral designs reminiscent of spring and summer. Read on for plenty of options that we love.
