The lowly apron is making a comeback.

The Guardian (British daily newspaper) notes: Emma Corrin wore a pink apron to a recent premiere, while Richard E Grant looked like a kinky fishmonger in a leather apron on the Miu Miu catwalk. Everyone on The Bear wears aprons. Younger generations have embraced the Cottagecore aesthetic—gardening, bee keeping, pie baking—and that usually involves wearing an apron.

Best-selling author of The Apron Book and ultimate apron collector, EllynAnne Geisel (she’s an apron archaeologist), chats with us about aprons. She’s collected more than 600 aprons and says that each one tells a story about the woman who wore it.

And…she’s created Tie One On Day, a national holiday for the day before Thanksgiving. https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day/national-tie-one-on-day-day-before-thanksgiving
