I own several and I do wear them. My favorite I actually got in a 12 days of Christmas swap (it is bright summer colors).

No, but come to think of it, I should. I eat like a freakin' two year old and I can NOT brush my teeth without toothpaste stains. Don't even get me started on cooking. Reading this thread with so many peas saying they never wear an apron, I'm like . Glad I'm not the only messy one. And yes, half the time, I even sit down to eat still wearing it because I'm so damn messy.

I have four or five. My favourite is a fifties housewife style one my US friend bought me. If I’m at home I almost always have a pinnie on (not sure if an apron is a pinnie everywhere or if that's a Scots thing). I like keeping my clothes clean, and I like having a big pocket on me all the time. I wear a different one for cleaning bathrooms, which then goes straight in the wash. All my pinnies are long knee length, except my gardening one, which is a short length, waterproof bib one with pockets for keeping small gardening tools in. Jockscrap it’s also a pinnie in my part of Wales

I own several. Some I use when I'm cooking something messy, and I have several that were my mom's from the 50's and 60's including some of the frilly organza not-meant-to-actually-get-dirty ones.
DH, DD, and DS also have aprons. I got the kids' aprons when they were in elementary school for when we would cook or bake together. I got adult aprons and had their names embroidered on them. They finally for now, lol.
DH and DS wear their aprons at the monthly spaghetti supper at church as they serve and clean.
I saw a pin on Pinterest where you could make an apron from an oversized man's shirt. I really want to try that.

I googled and got pictures both ways and I was wondering.

I own two and never wear them. I guess I should trying cooking once and awhile. I just totally forget. My mom never wore them and I don't think she owned any. Her mom did, but she was a total country woman in the depression era in the middle of nowhere in Kansas. It was her and 8 kids. I think she lived in the kitchen. 2 loaves of homemade bread a day (the old fashion way). Scrubbed her kitchen floor on her hands and knees everyday, in a dress. God bless that woman, she worked hard. My MIL always wears one and she wears the ugliest most hideous aprons. I don't even know where she gets them. They are so frumpy and old lady looking and we have bought her new ones for holidays or birthdays but she refuses to change. But my MIL is a pain in the butt, so let her wear her ugly aprons.

I have aprons. I have at least 10 or more. I don't really wear them, but I love to collect them whenever and wherever we go on vacations, etc. I love them and should wear them. I am not a messy cook, even when drying, so that may play a part in why I don't wear aprons. I also make quite a few for others, sometimes using old clothing that belong to relatives of theirs.

I wear them at work, in the kitchen and when dealing with the chickens. Not the same aprons of course.

My DH gave me a Chopped chef coat for Christmas. I like it so much better than an apron.

I have 4, one is a decorative print that I've had almost 20 years and the others are identical black with stripes like I've seen on cooking shows. I wear them for anything involving raw meat, grease, or baking. A Chef's coat would be great for me when frying because of splatter but I worry I'd be hot and uncomfortable.

Strap around the neck and ties in the back, or crossed straps at the back

I have 2 but I always forget to wear them.
The first one I got years ago at a Club Scrap Retreat. Club Scrap is a scrapbook monthly scrapbook club (in fact they were the first) that started back in 1999 and they hold 2 Retreats every year. I've been to three of them and at one they gave us these great denim aprons to protect us while we did our art work like stamping. In face I met a fellow Pea there (Lucy G.) Anyway I really like that one but I always forget to wear it.
The second one is an cooking apron my mom gave me for Christmas last year that a lady in her church made. It's stored in my scrapbook closet downstairs along with the apron above. I think I need to move it to the kitchen so I'll remember to wear it when I cook. I'm not a messy cook and I usually wipe my hands in a dish towel while I'm cooking. Getting rid of frying or cooking with oils has made it much easier to cook cleaner.

My poor family. My aprons are for my art work. Now there I do get messy.

I have a couple of aprons. I always wear one when baking, and if I'm cooking a big meal I'll put one on.

ETA: I just read Compwalla's apron pattern. I'm no sewer, but I read that pattern right to the end and smiled all through. She had such a way with words. Me too, I couldn't sew to save my life but I chuckled and smiled the whole way through that tutorial!

I love aprons and always wear them when cooking. My husband asked me when I bought my last one how many aprons I needed. “All the aprons” was the only answer I could give.

nope- I don't own one, and I probably wouldn't wear one if I did. When I'm working in the kitchen, I typically find myself doing the same thing that my mom always does, which is tossing a kitchen towel over my shoulder to wipe off my hands.
ETA: I take it back, I DO own an apron from an art retreat I attended. And I will wear that one (sometimes) when I'm doing messy painting / spray stenciling / art journaling projects.
One of the reasons I'm not worried too, too much about getting things on my clothes when I'm in the kitchen is that I change my clothes the minute I get home from work, like Mr. Rogers did with his sweater and shoes, lol. I typically wear an around-the-house tee-shirt that I don't mind getting stuff on.

I have several but don’t usually wear one unless I’m cooking with a lot of oil or something that might splash/stain.

Yes, but my aunt made it and I don't want it ruined! I wear an old t-shirt when I'm cooking or baking. That's my apron.

Yes I have a few. My favorites are the ones with the "H" in back, not the ones that go around the neck. I use them, but not every day.

I have a couple that I wear when baking (messy baker) or when I'm trying to protect my "good" clothes (like coming home from Easter services and putting finishing touches on Easter dinner.
I have one that I absolutely adore that a good friend from Japan sewed for me. I don't know if it has an official name but it has wide criss-cross straps in the back so you just kind of slip your arms through and then over your head. No tying, no buttons, no zippers. She made it with a pretty Japanese-looking cherry blossom material so I always think of her when I put it on.
