Rob and Neil discuss the oddest item of clothing to hit the catwalk this year - the humble hi-vis jacket. They were designed to be worn for safety by people like cyclists and pedestrians and by workers who need to be seen if, for example, they're working in the road or are directing people. So it's strange to think that now people choose to wear them as the latest fashion item. Listen to our discussion and learn new vocabulary along the way

Thank you. Your videos are really helping me to improve my English language. Subtitles are very useful because , for example Hannah talks in a quick manner, and it is difficult for me to hear . Subtitles helped me to overcome this problem
