It’s not easy to find an apron out there that is stylish, durable, affordable and unisex, but [Hedley & Bennett](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nfl-x-hedley-bennett) have cracked the code. Tired of the mundane monochromatic style in professional kitchens, 25-year-old chef Ellen Bennett ventured off into creating a new line of [fashionable unisex aprons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/13-hour-drip-fit) for the kitchen.

Launched recently, Hedley & Bennett offers a good number of designs; a great fusion of simplicity and practicality. Being a chef herself, Bennett designs these coat covers with playful (but practical) pockets strategically placed all over. She is still cooking up various contemporary designs for professional kitchens.

These smocks come in various sizes and offer a variety of different materials such as [cotton and denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-hellmann). For chefs who want to spice up the fashion in the kitchen, Bennett is open to customized orders as well.
