Apron
What is an "apron"?
An apron is a garment worn over clothing to protect it from spills and stains during messy activities such as cooking, cleaning, or gardening. Aprons come in different styles and materials but typically feature a bib that covers the torso and a skirt or waistband that covers the lower body. Some aprons have pockets for holding utensils or tools, and others may have adjustable straps or ties for a comfortable fit. While aprons were traditionally worn by homemakers and domestic workers, they have become more of a fashion accessory in recent years and are often seen in trendy cafes and restaurants.
Example
Workers wear protective aprons, masks and gloves when handling the vitriolic battery acid required for lead-acid car batteries.
