Be Safe, In Style: Fashionable Safety Vests

Safety vests are, by nature, garish. They're orange or bug-guts green and usually have some luminescent stripes to accentuate you not getting hit by a car. But that's what's important right? Safety. Same reason I won't blog without my crash helmet on.

Hi-Vis is a set of innovatively designed, highly-visible vest collection, specially designed for road side safety. Unlike usual roadworker's uniform like vests, the Hi-Vis collection comprises stylish sporting buttons, frills and collars that will effectively eliminate the shame of wearing them for the users. With its eye-soothing fluorescent green color along with fashionable black liner, these vests can easily become a selection for all motorists who is undergoing through an unfortunate break down. Other drivers can easily locate the wearer from enough distance that requires making a safe and perfect evade.

Effectively eliminating the shame of wearing one? You've got to be kidding me. Although honestly, I'd wear a giant pink dildo with sparklers on my head if it means not getting hit by a bus.

Hit the jump for some more safety couture.

  February 13, 2013

  Note: Video might be NSFW because I think I saw a blurry nip on my third go-through. The Intimacy 2.0 Dress from Daan Roosegaarde turns transparent when the wearer's heartbeat increases. So technically not just when you're aroused, but also when you're running to catch the bu... / Continue →
