Dec 23 2009Be 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.

I like fluorescent vaginas

What the heck is that girl on the right wearing on her head?
I dont see how that could EVER ever be mistaken for fashion. Unless you're pretending to be a lion. RAWR!

I like that the chick on the right can't even keep a straight face for the picture. She's got this "I can't believe you're making me wear this on camera" look on her face.
That being said: I'd hit it. Fluorescent frills and all.

i like their posing in the 2nd and 3rd pic
8. Catch22 - December 23, 2009 10:34 AM
@6 i think they all have that "i cant believe im being seen like this" look on their face
9. kory botz - December 23, 2009 10:36 AM
They did not just try an "Abby Road" shot wearing that crap? Not cool...Not cool at all.

Nothing looks good with those damn furry boots.
11. CoinOperatedBoi - December 23, 2009 10:40 AM

Who the fuck would by this shit?! Probably me.... Anyways, I see the vagina like [4] does. It's especially noticeable in the third picture. I have a dirty mind...
16. simo - December 23, 2009 11:09 AM
also walking like an Egyptian seems mandatory to wear those kind of safety vests.

@16
I would think the Safety Dance would be more appropriate, actually.
18. Closet Nerd - December 23, 2009 11:19 AM
These will be great for those cold mornings of community service, picking up trash on the highway, because you got busted for underage drinking.... just sayin

I think the lion's mane/dandelion one looks pretty stupid, but if a kid's in a job that requires him to wear a safety vest, the least they could do is not look like ass.
20. Pat - December 23, 2009 11:20 AM
I still don't see anything stylish about any of these...
21. John - December 23, 2009 11:25 AM
You guys aren't thinking like today's youth. By which I mean high on ecstasy.

it's all about that grungy looking guy.
Maybe it's his patchy beard,
maybe it's his greasy hair.
I just don't know what it is, but god he's looking damn good.
I want one of those vests that are a weak attempt at fashion.

Long live the robots
27. Milkman - December 23, 2009 12:59 PM
Two of the girls' safety vests are kinda cool/stylish, the guys' is HORRIBLE, and the other 2 girls' look ridicilous - one looks like a flower/vagina with warts, the other makes her look like a pregnant wampa.
2 out of 5.... but still 3 fails. Try again....
28. naas - December 23, 2009 1:43 PM
@27 well put
29. Paty - December 23, 2009 1:49 PM
All of these children have looks of betrayel on their faces. "WHY MOM AND DAD." WE NEED THE MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS DAMMIT! Anyways I especially love the safety vest headress, My old one is getting warn out and I feel this would be a good investment.
30. halford - December 23, 2009 4:19 PM
they are so cut : )
31. fountainhead - December 23, 2009 5:23 PM
I'd hit 'em
32. White667 - December 23, 2009 6:24 PM
Yeah, those aren't particularly "fashionable"
Which sucks, because the idea was quite good, and it's not like it COULDN'T have been pulled off.
33. Andre - December 24, 2009 3:20 AM
That kid glued his pubes to his face.
34. Jaded Icon - December 24, 2009 9:34 AM
@ 32
You right! -10 pts for fashion sense
-10 pts for ruining anyone elses idea to make safety vest fashionable
+ 20 pts for using jailbait
I guess it equals out in the end.
35. Vanessa - December 24, 2009 1:42 PM
Oh they are eye shooting alright
and i love the safety dance
we can dance, we can dance, everybody look at my vest.
36. Ickorus - December 24, 2009 7:24 PM
I'm so getting the one on the right.
37. Andre - December 24, 2009 11:47 PM
OSHA will not approve this high visibility wear nor will you be compensated for injuries due to the lack of reflective striping. Safety vests must have 33 inches of reflection.
38. FaxxxorsHaxxxors - December 26, 2009 12:07 AM
Lol. You get the Hi-Vi from this.
39. r4 dsi - December 28, 2009 1:26 AM
Hi Guy's,
These will be great for those cold mornings of community service, picking up trash on the highway, because you got busted for underage drinking.... just sayin
40. ~*Fancy*~ - February 8, 2010 6:20 PM
Safety dance, bitches......that's all I'm saying. (Would so buy them and rock out to that song)
