Learn to talk about men's fashion in 6 minutes! - YouTube

Rob: Welcome to 6 Minute English, the programme

where we explore an interesting topic

and bring you some useful items of vocabulary.

I'm Rob.

Neil: And I'm Neil.

And today we are discussing manbags.

Rob: Yes, manbags - they are the height of fashion

at the moment - a stylish accessory

that modern men are carrying. An accessory

is an additional item added to something

to make it more useful or attractive.

Neil: I'm not so sure Rob.

I mean, I wouldn't be seen dead carrying a manbag!

Rob: Really! So what do you carry your loose change,

your credit cards, tickets and mobile phone in?

Neil: I just stuff everything in my pockets Rob -

it's better than being a laughing stock,

carrying a handbag around!

Rob: By laughing stock you mean everyone thinking of

you as silly - but you wouldn't be because

it's a manbag Neil - not a woman's handbag.

Maybe I can convince you to change your mind

by the end of the programme.

But now let's not forget to ask you today's question...

Neil: Is it about manbags by any chance?

Rob: It is so it might be tricky for you to answer!

According to market research company Mintel,

how many men bought a manbag

in the UK last year?

Was it... a) 5%, b) 15% or c) 25%

Neil: Well obviously not many, so I'm going to say 5%.

And I'm not one of them!

Rob: OK, you've made that very clear!

We'll find out the answer at the end of the programme anyway.

Now let's talk more about manbags.

For hundreds of years women have carried their

possessions around in handbags, so why can't a man

do the same with a manbag?

Neil: Maybe it's the name. Why can't it just be a bag?

Why does a bag have to have a gender?

Rob: It's a trend Neil - a stylish fashion item

designed to look good on men.

Many big names have flocked to adopt the trend.

Pharrell Williams, David Beckham and Kanye West, are

just some of those who've been spotted rocking a manbag.

Rocking is an informal way

of saying 'wearing'.

Neil: But what's wrong with a sturdy briefcase -

sturdy means strong and not easily damaged.

Are you saying manbags are just fashionable?

Rob: No, they're practical too.

We've always needed bags

to carry stuff around but what we carry these days has changed

- you know laptops, mobiles,

even our lunch - so why not have a trendy looking bag

to carry these things around in?

Neil: I think part of the problem is carrying one

is not seem as a very British

by some people. We're not always

as stylish as our some of our European

neighbours, are we?

Rob: Well, speak for yourself! But Nick Carvell,

GQ Contributing Fashion Editor has a reason for this.

Here he is speaking on BBC Radio 4's

You and Yours programme...

Nick Carvell: In Britain we are still very tied up with

that idea of masculinity

that is almost so fragile that it can be dented by carrying a bag.

We think a lot about that

in this country in a way that I don't think

a lot of European men do.

Rob: So Nick feels some British men are still

tied up with the idea of masculinity -

these are the characteristics traditionally thought

to be typical of men. And for us British men,

these characteristics are fragile -

they can be easily broken.

Neil: Yes, we can also call it manliness -

things like not crying during a sad film.

It's a slightly old-fashion idea

but it could still be dented - or affected -

if a man was caught carrying a manbag.

Rob: Whereas some European men

don't give it a lot of thought, according to Nick Carvell.

Neil: But with people like Louis Vuitton,

Fendi, Gucci and Dolce and Gabbana designing

these bags, they're bound to have a hefty price tag

- that's an informal way of saying

a high price.

Rob: Well fashion comes at a price Neil -

you need to shake off your inhibitions - that's

a feeling of embarrassment that stops you

from doing something. And if you really want to be

on trend you could also splash out on a 'murse'

that's a man's purse, or a 'mote'

- a man's tote bag? Have I convinced you?

Neil: No, not really Rob. I have a feeling that a manbag

by any other name is, well, a bag

- and I have one - my trusty backpack.

Rob: Well for some people, manbags are the thing -

but, as I asked earlier, according to market

research company Mintel, how many men

actually bought a manbag in the UK last year?

Was it... a) 5%, b) 15% or c) 25%

Neil: And I said a) 5%. Come on, I must have been right!

Rob: You were wrong Neil.

The answer was actually 15%.

And nearly a quarter of 16-34 year olds

have bought one.

Neil: Well as I say Rob, a good practical

backpack is for me.

But now shall we unpack some of the vocabulary

we've discussed today. Starting with 'accessory'

which is an additional item added to something

to make it more useful or attractive.

"A tie is a smart accessory

to wear with a suit."

Rob: Maybe, but you wouldn't catch me wearing a suit

in my media job - it's all t-shirts

and jeans for us! If I came to work in a suit

I would be a 'laughing stock' -

I mean, I would be seen as someone

who people think of as silly.

Neil: Our next word was 'sturdy' -

something that is sturdy is strong

and not easily damaged.

"If you're walking up a mountain you need

to wear some sturdy walking boots."

Rob: Good advice - if I was going up a mountain,

which I'm not. Next we mentioned 'masculinity'.

These are the characteristics that are traditionally

thought to be typical of men. So we sometimes

refer to it as being macho!

Like: "Neil went swimming in ice cold water

to prove his masculinity."

Neil: That I would never do - I'd rather carry a manbag -

despite their hefty price tag -

that means 'high price'.

Rob: Finally, we also mentioned the word 'inhibitions' -

that's feelings of embarrassment that stop you

from doing something. "Neil's inhibitions

are stopping him from carrying a manbag."

Neil: It's a bag Rob - just a bag!

But we've talked enough about this so that's it

for this edition of 6 Minute English.

But before you rush off to purchase a designer manbag, don't forget to visit our Facebook, Twitter,

Instagram and YouTube pages. Bye for now.

Rob: Bye.
