Do you wear an apron when you cook?

[Kinsters]

I've never owned one and just saw some really nice ones on FB but what's actually the point of them? I never seem to end up with food on my clothes from cooking.

Yes. I’ve got a linen one with a crossover back.

Having got fat on my linen dress yesterday I'm seriously considering it.
But I don't know if I'd actually wear it.

I think they’re cute but I never bother myself.

Always. Also when eating.

I'm dyspraxic and have nerve damage in my hands and arms and sometimes only have the use of one hand, so I can be rather messy. An apron is a must for me.

Nah

I do. I am a messy cook and I hate splashing my clothes.

Yep, I make a massive mess

I don't but I should do whilst eating like a pp. Especially whilst wearing white....

I have a few given to me by my Nana. I keep them sentimental reasons rather than to use.

Yes. .I love aprons. .also I am very messy

Yes I have several and always wear one whilst cooking or cleaning. I cook everything from scratch and often quite complicated things with many ingredients so the chances of getting something on my clothes is quite high. Also it gives me a kind of 1930s fishwife vibe which I quite like.

Yes, and it’s still on while I eat my tea.

I have one but forget to ever put it on and usually spill stuff on my clothes

I have one, I wear it if e.g I'm wearing black clothes and I'm baking, or light clothes and making something like a ragu, or cooking anything where fat or sauce might spit.

I hate having greasy hands and I'm terrible for wiping my hands on my jeans.

I've ruined so many good clothes over the years due to all of the above, I got a crossover back linen apron that takes seconds to put on and it has made a difference.

I do, I must be a messy cook, and an even messier baker! It keeps my clothes clean and tidy plus I like wearing one for the nostalgia, reminds me of my mum and my nana when they baked when I was little.

Always. I wear an apron pretty much all weekend. Cooking, baking, gardening, painting, eating. I love the handy pocket in the front. Some of mine are looking tatty now so if any of you have any recommendations I'd love to see them.

Always.

Only if making pastry, etc. with lots of flour.
Occasionally, I remember to put one on if using the wok.

DH does but he's a mucky pup and, generally, I'm not.

Yes, I get splashed with food and cleaning products all the time. I like the big pockets too.

I do when I'm baking and sometimes when cooking. Like others, they remind me of my grandma who always wears one when baking.
I have a couple of Cath Kidston ones which are pretty heavy duty.

Can't remember the last time I cooked.

I have loads and always wear them. I do a lot of baking and flour (and even more so icing sugar) gets everywhere.

They're also very good for wiping my hands if the doorbell/phone rings or I need to turn the page of a recipe book.

No. I should. I get food down myself constantly when cooking (and eating...) And I own about 5. But I never think to put one on.

I love mine. Wear it to cook and clean, as it saves me getting my clothes spoilt.

Always. And when doing the washing up. I've ruined enough clothes with a splash of grease or tomato sauce!

But what I don't get is aprons made of thin cloth. What's the point? Any splash goes right through, especially if you lean forward and press against the worktop. I always wear a wipe-clean fabric-backed apron. My current one is wearing out, and I cannot find a replacement. They're all either absorbent cloth, or tacky. I may have to buy some tablecloth on a roll and make myself one.

It depends on what I am wearing and what I am cooking. Something unsplashy and in grotty clothes, no apron. Something messy (batter, frying in a frying pan) or if I'm in half decent clothes, apron.
