What is an Apron?

An apron is a piece of clothing that a person puts on over the front of their normal clothes and tie round their waist, especially when they are cooking, in order to prevent their clothes from getting dirty. An apron is a garment that is worn over other clothing and covers mainly the front of the body. The word comes from old French napron meaning a small piece of cloth, however over time "a napron" became "an apron", a process in linguistics called rebracketing. It may have several different purposes and is today perhaps most known as a functional accessory that protects one's clothes and skin from stains and marks. However, various types of aprons may also be worn as a decoration, for hygienic reasons, as part of a uniform, or as protection from certain dangers such as acid, allergens or excessive heat. It can also be used in work stations to hold extra tools and pieces or protect from dust and unwanted products. As a top layer that covers the front body, the apron is also worn as a uniform, adornment, ceremonial garb or fashion statement. Apron styles can be practical, fashionable, and sentimental. There are many different apron forms depending on the purpose of the apron. A basic distinction is between waist aprons, which cover the body from the waist down, and bib aprons, which also cover the upper part of the body. An apron is usually held in place by two ribbon-like strips of cloth that are tied at the back. A bib apron may either have a strap around the neck (perhaps the most widespread use today), or shoulder straps that crisscross at the back and attach to the waistband. The advantage of the former design is that it makes it especially simple to put on the bib apron. The advantage of the shoulder strap design is that it makes the apron more comfortable to wear; a neck strap can slightly impair ease of movement Revenue.
