I am 54...and I ALWAYS wear an apron...even when I am wearing jeans and a tee-shirt and most definitely when I am dressed in my school clothes between a day in the classroom and an evening meeting! My DD who is 23 loves the aprons I have made her (even though she said her apt-mates would tease her). A couple years ago, at Xmas, I gave aprons to my DIL, 2 nieces, a sis-in-law, and to my asst at school. Everybody loves them and still mention them to me. There are a bunch of cute apron patterns...the one I made them was kind of an assymetrical thing with one side longer than the other. Very contemporary looking.
