orange vest

High-visibility sleeveless top

An orange vest is a high-visibility garment worn for safety or identification.

Construction workers, crossing guards, and hunters wear them to be seen easily.

The term also refers to Home Depot employees, whose signature orange aprons have become synonymous with the store: I asked an orange vest where to find the lumber.
