An apron is not just a practical work tool – it is also an important part of your visual expression.

At Imagewear.dk we have collected a large selection of professional aprons and bibs that are suitable for all work situations in hotels, restaurants, cafés, service and industry. In this guide we help you find the right model – regardless of your needs.

Bibs for professionals – style and function

Bibs are classic aprons that cover the front and tie at the waist. They are available in several lengths and colors and are ideal for chefs, bakers, waiters and shop staff. Bibs without a neck strap provide great freedom of movement, and many models have practical pockets for pens, notebooks and tools.

Sandwich aprons – modern and practical

Sandwich aprons cover both the front and back and are fastened with ties at the side. They are often used in canteens, commercial kitchens and cafés, where full coverage is needed. The materials are durable and the fit is adjustable. A good choice for busy environments where both hygiene and comfort are important.

Many people choose sandwich aprons because they protect work clothes and at the same time provide a uniform and professional look. At Imagewear, we offer models in many colors and materials, so they can easily be adapted to the company's visual identity or uniform solution.

Leather aprons – robust and stylish

For those looking for a more exclusive look, we recommend our leather aprons. They are popular among baristas, bartenders, chefs and design-conscious professionals. The leather is durable, dirt-repellent and develops a beautiful patina over time. At the same time, it exudes craftsmanship, quality and authenticity.

Leather aprons are well suited for both service and retail, where a little extra edge and character is desired. Several of our models are available with adjustable neck straps and removable ribbons, which makes them both comfortable and flexible to use.

Old-fashioned aprons – retro with personality

Old-fashioned aprons are inspired by classic country cuisine and traditional hostess clothing. With long ribbons, a rounded skirt and feminine details, they give a warm and welcoming look. They are perfect for hotels, bakeries, cafés and events where atmosphere and aesthetics play a role.

These models are particularly popular for theme nights, events, serving and places where the visual expression should have a historical or nostalgic feel. At the same time, they are practical and easy to tie, and many models can be machine washed without any problems.

Plastic and PVC aprons – when hygiene is the focus

In environments with water, food and cleaning, plastic aprons and PVC aprons are the obvious choice. They are 100% waterproof, easy to clean and particularly useful in kitchens, slaughterhouses, cleaning companies and commercial kitchens. Many models are available with adjustable straps and antibacterial properties.

Our plastic aprons are designed to withstand daily wear and tear in professional kitchen environments. They are ideal as extra protection over work clothes – and are available in both transparent and colored versions.

Who uses professional aprons?

Aprons are used today by a wide range of professional groups and environments – both in business and private life. In professional kitchens, aprons are part of the daily uniform for chefs, kitchen assistants and bakers. Waiters, baristas and café staff choose aprons as part of the visual expression and to ensure practical storage of notepads, corkscrews or other tools.

In the retail industry , aprons are used in delicatessens, florists and specialty stores to emphasize professionalism and accessibility. At trade fairs and events , logoed aprons are used as a branding tool – a simple and effective means of creating recognition and professionalism.

Aprons are also popular in private kitchens and for barbecue enthusiasts. It is the ideal gift for the "grill master" or as part of a host gift for the one who loves to stand by the grill on the weekend. Leather aprons and retro models are particularly in demand here.

How to choose the right apron

Consider the following when choosing an apron:

Material: Leather, cotton, polyester, PVC or mix
Length: Short (50–60 cm), medium (70–85 cm) or long (90+ cm)
Pockets: Do you need 1, 2 or more functional pockets?
Straps: Neck strap, cross strap, side tie or elastic?
Color and style: Does the apron need to match a uniform profile or brand color?

It is also important to think about how the apron fits with the rest of your workwear. Do you have a uniform profile, or should the apron function independently as part of a visual identity? At Imagewear, we are happy to help with advice on match and style.

Aprons with logo and branding
