Aprons have many advantages. The main function of an apron is to protect you from dirt, hazardous materials, splashes and heat. Some aprons offer more protection than others. For example, a bib apron will cover you better than a bistro apron. Professional aprons will be stronger and sometimes even waterproof, while amateur aprons will be made of a simpler fabric, such as cotton, linen or polyester. In any case, you will be protected!
For professionals, the pockets found in many types of aprons can be extremely useful for storing objects. Florists like to wear an apron to keep their tools close at hand. A gardener is happy to have an apron to hold various tools and seeds while working outside. A parking lot attendant or restaurant waiter will use his apron to store money, bills or other useful items, just like a barber or hairdresser!
