Our guide to fashionable aprons

Lately I’ve been obsessed with aprons. As a wardrobe stylist, I like being able to keep my clothes clean and have pockets for my tools. Combine an apron with underlayering and you have the ideal fashion/function relationship. Here’s a variety of aprons (locally made, for the most part) that will get you through a messy day in style.

Check out the image slideshow above for all the looks and their descriptions.

If you’d like to get your apron dirty with some stories and photos about meat, take a look at our Life section.
