Cotton and canvas are strong choices for everyday cooking aprons because they’re breathable, durable and easy to wash. Coated or wipe-clean fabrics suit messier cooking. Leather and heavier denim work well for barbecue duty and a more substantial feel.
For sauce splatters, flour clouds, marinade mishaps and the occasional cake-batter casualty, cooking aprons take the hit so your outfit doesn’t have to. Since 1977, Peter’s of Kensington has been kitting out Australian cooks with aprons from premium leather and denim styles to chef classics, fabulous florals and gloriously gifty novelty numbers.

Why wear a quality cooking apron?
Quality cooking aprons are equal parts shield, sidekick and kitchen uniform. They keep sauce splashes, flour smudges and blending blunders off your clothes, wash up easily and stay comfortable with adjustable straps and useful pockets. They suit bakers, barbecue bosses, dinner party hosts and anyone who likes to hover over a hot pan.
Your guide to choosing the right apron
Choose kitchen aprons by how you cook and how you want to look doing it. A full bib apron is the practical all-rounder for baking, stovetop cooking and barbecuing, while waist aprons suit serving and lighter prep. Cotton and canvas are breathable and easy to wash; coated styles suit messier jobs and wipe clean.
Once the practical boxes are ticked, pick your kitchen character. Go sleek with leather or denim, classic with chef-inspired stripes, feminine with florals or playful with a novelty print. Adjustable ties make the fit easy to fine-tune.
Complete your kitchen essentials
Apron on, dinner underway. Bring in utensils for cooking, dish racks for the aftermath, then call on organisation and storage for everything from pantry staples to benchtop bits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best fabric for a cooking apron?
What is the difference between a bib apron and a waist apron?
A bib apron covers the chest and the lap, making it the better choice for baking, stovetop cooking and barbecuing. A waist apron covers from the waist down, so it suits serving, hosting and lighter prep where full coverage isn’t needed.
