Aprons -- no longer just the simple, full-body cotton smocks designed to get dirty in the kitchen -- now are available and popular in many sophisticated or retro designs, much like the ones worn by '50s pop-culture icons such as June Cleaver.
While standard, smock-style aprons are available everywhere and perfect for cooking, the chic aprons -- often called hostess aprons -- come in full- and half-body styles in fabrics such as cotton and linen-cotton blends, and sometimes fancier fabrics with silk and lace.
"Aprons are one of those parts of life that we take for granted; they really see us through the best and the worst of it, and they're there for every celebration," she says.
