Clothes protectors are items of clothing that are worn to protect the wearer's clothing from dirt, stains, and other damage. A bib is a piece of clothing that covers the chest and is typically secured at the neck with ties or straps. A SMOCK is a loose-fitting garment that is worn over other clothing to protect it from dirt and stains. An APRON is a garment that is worn over the front of the body and is typically tied around the waist. All three of these items are commonly used as clothes protectors.
