apron definition and meaning

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.
