I have a couple aprons but I usually don't bother to pull them out unless I'm making something really involved, canning jam, or doing involved baking, etc. </p> <p>I am not a person who changes when I get home, but most of my everyday clothes are machine washable so if I get anything on them it's not the end of the world. </p> <p>Actually, as per the gear discussion, it's important to me to be able to do things in my clothes - both as far as movement goes, and not worrying that I will ruin them. I want to look presentable, but I also want to be able to do things and not just be decorative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1/page/2#post-1682684 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 14:42:43 +0000 MsMary 1682684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I change out of my work clothes when I get home, and I also usually wear an apron to cook.

I'm paralyzed without one! My daily clothes are casual, but if I were wearing something special, I would change, and then put on an apron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682642 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 14:04:26 +0000 Sara L. 1682642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't change to cook but I do usually change from work clothes to casual when I get home.&nbsp; That not because I'm cooking though - it's just to be more comfortable.&nbsp; I wear whatever I'm already wearing to&nbsp;cook&nbsp;and rarely use an apron.&nbsp; I'm like Angie - I never spill or mess on myself (but that's not my superpower - my superpower is always picking the slowest line at Wal-Mart).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682633 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 13:43:10 +0000 LilMrsNomad 1682633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually my yoga pants and a tee-shirt. Though I'm sure my husband would love to see me in the kitchen in a nice dress and some strappy heels. Maybe I'll surprise him one day... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682596 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 12:34:39 +0000 Colette 1682596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually change clothes and wear an apron, an oversized apron. When I'm entertaining I try to pick an outfit with clothing that is washable and wear an apron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682539 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 10:45:15 +0000 Anonymous 1682539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always change out of my work clothes into either casual or lounge clothes when I get home. But when I cook I usually over whatever I am wearing with an apron. &nbsp;The system seems to work for me. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682496 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 08:30:16 +0000 rachylou 1682496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Depends on the kind of cooking. If I'm wearing a silky blouse and I'm not gonna cheat my way through dinner prep with the microwave, I'll change out of that into something easier to wash and less prone to damage. If I'm really gonna cook up a storm, or do some heavy baking, then I'll don an apron.</p> <p>...Lol. My super power is stating the obvious. For example, *You are reading!*, when you're reading (and would probably prefer I not talk, hehe). If only I had Angie's!</p> <p>ps: My apron is a stiff canvas, a kind of periwinkle blue - solid and plain - with a nice big pocket and easily adjusted neck strap. I've been through a lot of aprons for aesthetic reasons. This is hilarious to me. Had one that had a button for a hand towel, which was brilliant. But it was in a toîle print and that irked my nerves...Heh... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682482 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 08:10:48 +0000 anne 1682482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also want to SEE Suz's apron! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682481 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 08:10:08 +0000 anne 1682481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Approprio, I'v been noticing that denim look aprons similar to what you posted have been very popular on males and females at cafes. I really like them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682477 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 07:58:14 +0000 approprio 1682477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to aprons. Suddenly I'm seeing a rash of high-end denim aprons for men. I'd like to think this is a sign that more gents are taking an interest in the domestic arts, and not just to wear at the BBQ. </p> <p>Suz, now I want a giant ruffly '50's apron.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682459 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 07:09:30 +0000 Gigi 1682459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear an apron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682345 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:58:31 +0000 Jaime 1682345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try not to cook with anything that I wouldn't want to ruin because I have the opposite super power of Angie's - there is no cooking maneuver, no matter how simple, that won't end with myself splattered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682343 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:55:28 +0000 Aquamarine 1682343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Diana. I always change into loungewear because I cannot abide my clothes to pick up food odors. If company is over I will use an apron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682340 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:52:54 +0000 Staysfit 1682340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-) I wish I had my grandmothers aprons. It's the only thing I regret giving away. </p> <p>I love cooking, but I usually change clothes before I start. I'm neat when I cook, but I cannot say the same is true for the people around me. I often have helpers like my DS, or my DH. They can be unpredictable, so I never know when something may splash, spill or splatter. </p> <p>I like to wear a simple old school tee shirt and jeans, or shorts if it's warm out. Easy to wash. No big loss if they get grease or tomato stains, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682339 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:52:04 +0000 SandyG 1682339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like aprons. It's easy to change into a denim shirt for prep work and cooking/ baking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682336 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:50:35 +0000 Anonymous 1682336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a small collection of bib aprons that I wear when cooking and doing housework. They are best with pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682333 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:43:53 +0000 Anonymous 1682333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I switch out of my good clothes into cotton, but really, I would like an apron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682331 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:40:38 +0000 anne 1682331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see that Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682328 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:38:40 +0000 Suz 1682328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apron. I have one from my late mum from the 50s with a gathered skirt -- it's quite something. I also have a bigger one.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes I neglect to put it on, but only if I am dressed very casually in easy washables.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682324 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:36:41 +0000 Diana 1682324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loungewear. Always. I can't deal with my clothes smelling like food (and I have a bloodhound's sense of smell) so the apron over regular clothes doesn't work for me unless I'm only like making a salad or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682321 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:34:54 +0000 Anna 1682321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get filthy when I cook. So I sewed up a bunch of bib aprons and always have some in rotation. Pretty much every time I don't wear one, I spill something unremovable on my outfit.<br /> Yum, paneer with peas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682320 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:34:23 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1682320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apron if cooking splattery food (like Raji. Love okra) Mine says "Queen of Everything." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682319 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:32:54 +0000 anne 1682319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna</p> <p><i>since I don't dust they keep the dust and grime off my clothes so they save my laundry</i></p> <p><em></em>I am also particularly negligent in dusting - so that resonated! But I also need my apron to save my clothes from getting wet while washing up - it is almost inevitable otherwise. (And sometimes happens even with the apron!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682318 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:31:12 +0000 Dee 1682318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually whatever I was wearing for the day, with an apron over it. On rare occasions when I'm wearing something nicer (silk blouse, etc.), I try to remember to change our of it first. It doesn't always happen... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682315 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:28:30 +0000 crazyone 1682315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear whatever I am wearing for the day. Today I did remember to put an apron on, because I was wearing a cream silk blouse. I do often get stuff on myself though--I cook a lot of Indian food and there's a lot of sputtering in hot oil. Today I made pan fried okra and paneer with peas and fenugreek leaves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682307 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:17:05 +0000 DonnaF 1682307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear an apron.&nbsp; Well, no, DH does all the cooking, and after I got him a number of chef's jackets he stopped wearing aprons.&nbsp; So now, I have LOTS of aprons.&nbsp; I wear them pretty much all the time at home since they have pockets that can hold my phone and since I don't dust they keep the dust and grime off my clothes so they save my laundry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682304 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:12:26 +0000 anne 1682304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry - double post</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-cook-1#post-1682303 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:12:10 +0000 anne 1682303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always change to casual clothes and always wear an apron. I live in aprons at home and probably need to upgrade my collection - now I just grab anything on the hook, including some actually bought or made for my young daughters! </p>
