Badass women

Women grillers can wear any apron a man can wear, and more. While many aprons are adjustable, women’s aprons tend to run a little smaller, which is great for petite sizes. They also come in more fun colors and shapes. Some days there’s simply nothing more badass than a glam gal cooking up some sick barbecue!

Stacia Embroidered Indigo Apron

Anthropologie has tons of cute aprons, but we love the cute flowers and beautiful indigo dye on this one. It looks like heavy duty workwear, but brings a little style and flavor. It’s all about flavor, right?

Hedley & Bennett have a cult-like following of chefs, bakers and cooks. This heavy duty apron is fully adjustable to fit exactly how you want, all day.

New to the grill

Those new to the grill may not need or be willing to invest in the heavy duty aprons. It’s a good idea to keep it neutral while learning. We like these aprons because they’re simple enough to protect your clothes while you learn what you need for a great grill apron.

Red Unisex ChefWorks Apron

The perfect basic apron! Tie waste, covers your midsection while giving room to move about, and has pockets. The bright red makes it easy to spot the chef and is a power color for staying grounded at the grill. This is also a great starter apron because it’s short— many people don’t need the super long aprons!

Sandviva Apron, Blue

Love this super simple, super stylish Ikea apron. The kangaroo pocket keeps things where you ended them, and there’s even a spot to hang the tongs. The colors are calming but will look stylish in a photo, and let’s be honest, we love to instagram out grill and chills.

Unisex Embroidered BBQ Apron

This apron is so corny it’s cool (and true at BBQs!). We love the color and the flames. One of the great tricks of fashion (and yes, BBQ aprons count as fashion) is that you can draw the idea to wear you want emphasis. If you’re new to grilling and something goes wrong, you’ve already distracted everyone with this amazing apron.
