10 Best Kitchen Aprons (Review) In 2021

We liked the Maison d’ Hermine Colmar. It looks cute and it’s made of 100% cotton. The only thing with that is when you get a bit of grease on it you’ll have to wash it carefully and don’t put it in the dryer! The Maison d’ Hermine Colmar 100% Cotton 1-Piece Kitchen Apron will fit all of us, is pretty generous on the width and length, and has a lovely floral design. If you are looking for women or men aprons it fits quite well and looks good even when just hanging in the kitchen and not being used!

The manufacturer has good ideas too – recommending that you can use their aprons for protection when bathing or grooming the dog or cat. This is why it’s the Unclutterers’ team-best choice.

The VWELL Waxed & Waterproof Canvas Cooking Apron is interesting and definitely for the pro. The neck strap is adjustable. We liked the cross back so it didn’t pull on our shoulders or neck. The only thing which we weren’t sure about are the large pockets – it gave us chance to put stuff in there that we forgot about so definitely prefer aprons without! But there is a pocket near the chest that zips up so if you need to keep your mobile, wallet, or purse, you can keep them close by.

We gave this to a cafe owner one we had cleaned it up and he loved it, saying he’d be buying another if this ever wears out.

Our choice for best value in 2020, it’s the Syntus 2-Pack Adjustable Water Resistant Bib Aprons, and you can choose from stripes, plain, or a pack of two different colors including black/white combo or two of the same. We thought these would be ideal for having matching colors in a cafe or restaurant and they look good at home if you’re serving up a feast and want matching aprons for that valuable time you might spend cooking food with the kids. In the Unclutterer team opinion, this is one of the best apron selection at this price. They’re thick and non-toxic using polyester material. You get cover from just below the neck down to your knees (depending on how tall you are).

These aprons can be machine washed but not tumble dried which is why we like that they come in a two-pack, so if there’s only one of you there’s an apron handy while you wash the other. Two pockets in front for holding utensils.

We thought that the Chef Works Unisex Three Pocket Apron is great for those who have to move lots either around the kitchen or as a waiter as they do come up quite short at just 24 inches (max.) – the length at the neck is adjusted using the buckle but doesn’t give you much more in the way of the length. The poly-cotton apron has three pockets which were ideal for holding utensils while cooking or notepads and pens in the front of the house. There were reviews from artists too who found this style to work perfectly. We think that this apron is designed well and looks professional while being functional.

Our premium pick choice, the Hudson Durable Goods – Heavy Duty Waxed Canvas Work Apron is pretty hard wearing and good enough, in our opinion, for the workshop and perhaps a little bit too heavy-duty for use in the kitchen. There are woodworking options available if you prefer a more heavy-duty design but the one we tested was in the grey color. It’s sturdy enough with tough, large pockets for keeping tools and notebooks in, and has a cross back which saves stress on your neck. This is our premium pick for 2020 and has a finish that’s waxed so it does repel water drops and light drops of oil can be cleaned off easily. It won’t deal with heavy liquids like grease though.

In a pack of two and made from cotton linen mix we thought that Syhood 2-Piece Cotton Linen Cooking Apron Set was the best aprons for indoors or for the homely baker or cook. The aprons will protect your clothing from food spills and are great for the kitchen whether you’re cooking on your own or want a cute matching set for the rest of the family.

We like that the apron design has an adjustable neck so that you can wear it as loose or as tight as you want. If you like to spend time in the kitchen or behind the counter of a bakery then we think you will love the two designs available in this two-pack bundle.

For a unisex apron which is neither too masculine nor too feminine, the Caldo Daily Cotton Kitchen Apron for Cooking is ideal for professionals. It protects clothing from spills whether you’re in the kitchen or the workshop. The neck straps have an adjustable buckle and are really strong, whilst the waist strap is wrap-around at 40 inches so you can tie at the front so the size isn’t limited on yours and gives ample coverage no matter what your size. This, we thought, is one of the best aprons for heavy use.

The least expensive in our line up and our budget pick for 2020, the Viedouce 2-Pack Durable Restaurant Aprons come in a two-pack bundle although we did wonder why we couldn’t order two different colors so if you want alternatives you’ll have to place at least two orders but they are a great price. There are 8 color options and, with 3 layers, the middle one is waterproof and the outermost present layer is soft. You will, however, have to order two of the same.

Like most of the aprons, for both women and men, we thought that these were ideal for a multitude of uses like in the workshop, cafe, barbeque at home, painting and while cleaning – and more. The pockets are brilliant for holding things like brushes, pens, notepads, or utensils, and the waist straps are wrap-around so ample enough to fit around a wider fitting.

Available as a cotton apron, in denim, or in waxed cotton finish at alternative prices, we independently selected and tested the black cotton one. All options of ARAWAK BRAVE Chef Designed Professional Cooking Apron offer a cross-back apron design and, we were pleased it looked like a professional apron as well as being entirely functional. It has two large pockets at the bottom of the skirt, two smaller ones beneath the chest, and we liked the small addition of a towel/cloth holder too. Oh, and a loop so you can keep your headphone wire out of the way!

Aprons for regular use are all too often quite simple in design so this one stood out and is especially recommended for professional or commercial use. Where many manufacturers don’t give out the waist strap measurements, this one promises to be suitable for those with a 50-inch waist.

A polyester-cotton mix, we weren’t initially sure about the BIGHAS Adjustable Bib Apron with Pockets & Extra Long Ties which even looks cheap in the images the manufacturer showcases. What we did like though are the color options – 17 in all. Each apron does have an adjustable neck strap and the wrap-around waist strap is really long at around 42 inches so you can tie it around your front or if you have a little larger waist, it will tie behind and still be comfortable. It’s carefully sewn in important places that are usually easily torn and it’s lightweight, although we don’t like the cheapness and that there’s only one central pocket. We did, however, like the price and it’s suitable for the larger size.
