There's nothing like [retro aprons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citrusinspired-apron) to spruce up your cooking attire and get you excited about working in the kitchen. This retro-styled Batgirl apron is especially awesome, since it's not only designed in a retro style, but it's based off of Batgirl's [black and yellow costume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solander-batman).

As a retro apron, this garment flares out at the bottom, cinches in at the waist and ties as a halter behind the neck. To incorporate some Batgirl elements, design studio BambinoAmore used yellow trim on the otherwise black apron and the Batman/Batgirl logo in the middle of the chest.

The top of the apron is almost like a dress. It has a form-flattering shape that is complementary to almost every figure, making this less of a kitchen garment and more of a fun, wearable design. For [superhero fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection) who also love to cook and bake, this apron is the perfect addition to your kitchen.
