Probably This Picks: The Best Linen Aprons

I’m going to let you in on an ongoing battle in our home. Matthew insists I’m “dressed inappropriately” to do tasks like take care of the farm animals and cook messy foods. If I wanna wear my new white sneakers to change the duck coop bedding out or cozy up in my favorite cream-colored cashmere sweater to make borscht, what’s the problem????

What I’m trying to say is: I’ve ruined all of my clothes.

After years of ignoring his warnings, a grease stain on my favorite shirt made me finally take measures to keep my wardrobe looking decent. Turns out, there’s an invention to help with this and it’s called wearing aprons whenever I’m in the kitchen and even for some around-the-house tasks like mopping.

I’ve been apron-avoidant for so long because I’ve always found them a bit unwieldy and would just forget to throw one on before I started messy tasks. So before I even began apron shopping, I installed hooks in the kitchen to display them as decor while also serving as a reminder to myself that I need to put one on.

When I finally did my apron shopping binge, I prioritized 100% linen cotton aprons with patterns and colors that fit my style and also went oversized when a size option was given to ensure ultimate comfort. I’ve now got a handful of aprons to rotate through, and my clothes have never been cleaner.
