Stylish Aprons

From Julie:

For some reason it took me several grease-stained years to figure out the importance of aprons in domestic life: who wants to swan around the kitchen swaddled in a housewifey apron? Then I discovered an arrestingly chic aubergine/army green striped French apron that added a certain Left Bank vibe to the pre-dinner-party kitchen proceedings (sadly, I haven’t been able to find it online). But here are some other stylish possibilities:

San Francisco–based, Swedish-born designer Lotta Jansdotter’s Bunke long cafe apron, imprinted with an au courant botanical graphic, $44 at jansdotter.com:

Hable Construction’s skydot printed canvas aprons (you can get matching oven mitts); $32 at hableconstruction.com:
