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.
This week's question:
In which decade were leg warmers worn as a popular fashion accessory? Was it…
a) the 1970s
b) the 1980s
c) the 1990s?
Listen to the programme to find out the answer.
