Kitchen Apron is a category of protective clothing worn while preparing food or working in a kitchen by cooks, chefs, and other kitchen staff. It is intended to shield the wearer s clothing from splatters, spills, and other kitchen-related dangers. Typically, cotton, polyester, or a combination of the two are used to create kitchen aprons because they are strong and easy to clean. They may be waist-length or bib-style, covering only the chest and waist, or they may be full-length, covering the wearer s chest, waist, and legs.
