Tie one on.

This is the apron you could cook for hours in and not have to take off when guests arrive. Thoughtful design details, like nickel-plated grommets and slate gray ties, lend a sleek aesthetic to the springy ocean blue linen (made just for Food52).

Equipped with a front loop for tea towels and a deep pocket for any tools you need on hand, it's high-functioning, too. The cross-back straps means the apron hangs comfortably on your body, relieving pressure from the neck. Whether you prefer to tie it in the front or back, we won't blame you for wearing it all day.
