I believe those were more popular back in the day, but l don't recall my mother or grandmother ever wearing one. I myself have never worn one and l am not sure how many women or men in these present times wear them while preparing food and cooking in the kitchen.
They are a must for chefs of course - along with a hat. Or anyone preparing large amounts of food for a function or celebration might wear one.
Have you ever worn one when cooking in the kitchen? Would it be just for style or a definite purpose?

I have worn aprons but mainly when I had jobs working with food. A few of them were proper ones, but many times I have worn disposable aprons. I don't own one myself and I don't recall ever wearing one at home (although I may have done but just forgot). My husband does own an apron, although he doesn't do any cooking!
I don't remember my mother or grandmother wearing aprons (although, again, they may have done and I just don't recall). I think one auntie used to wear them to make cakes. She made lovely cakes.

@Kandae11 I mainly wore the disposable ones when working with children. We had to wear them while preparing food but also for changing nappies/diapers.

I do wear one when I am cooking something especially messy, like working with flour or something. They come in handy.

@Kandae11 It can get everywhere, and is a real disaster if you are wearing black pants...

I think my mom wore an apron when I was a kid (I have vague memories of it), but she doesn't really cook so much now, so she doesn't. I do occasionally wear one - especially if I know things could get messy (like with oil splattering). But no way just for style .

Sometimes mom wore an apron and sometimes not. I've never worn one.

@Kandae11 I used to have an apron and hat but never used them so we gave them to the thrift shop when we moved this last time.

I recall my nephew wearing one with the chef's hat last Christmas. The occasion was a small party for a few relatives and friends and my nephew was preparing jerk chicken and other goodies. I still haven't got around to asking him where he managed to find the apron and hat.

My grandmother always had an apron on when she was in the kitchen.
My mom had quite a few and I remember them being more on the fancy side. She would wear them on holidays when we would have company and she didn't want to spoil her clothes.
I don't wear an apron and I don't think I ever did

@Kandae11 I think I kept one or two of my moms fancy aprons but they're packed away somewhere. Her aprons were more of a fashion statement than for keeping spilled food off her good clothes.

I've never seen my mother or grandma wear an apron while cooking, so I don't.

I’ve only used an apron a hand full of times. I’m sure that I have some tucked away that were given to me over the years.

I have a full-length Christmas apron I have not used in ages and for the memories I have one of those tied by the waist aprons that was my mom's from the day I was born. It probably should be a museum item but I keep it around for the memories,
