Despite its obsolete reputation, the hue still seems to make a comeback each year, with electric shades consistently re-emerging on the runway. The innate power of neon to attract attention is evident. Traffic cones and glow sticks; they are all entirely visible from miles away, commanding attention. Which is why this season’s trend for neon is so exciting; it takes colour to the next frontier.
Although there’s a limit to how much neon you should bestow upon your person in one go. One colour at a time has the desired effect, and anything more is flouro-overload.
Bright Eyes
Swap your classic black liner with a much vibrant, and not to mention fun colour like this electric blue and shocking pink lids. Keep your look sexy and cool by adding a subtle pink lip gloss and barely there bronzer.
Electric Lips
Sometimes, subtlety is overrated. With bold, punchy orange lips and bright pink fuschia, this is not the trend for the colour-shy. These brilliantly bold lips are statement-making and make sure your mouth is ready to take front and center.
Tasteful Neon Nails
Ways to wear neon nails can vary from tasteful to garish. Thankfully there is a way to wear neon nails tastefully. Put simply, when looking at ways to wear neon nails, don’t overdo it. Team your neon nails with a neutral outfit and avoid anything too clashing. You want your neon nails to look modern and chic, not like an 80s throwback.
Colour has never been so cool, but be careful when approaching this high-voltage trend-stick to one or two colour combinations per outfit at the most.
When it comes to choosing your fashion style, adding that pop of colour or pattern is a great way to accentuate your overall appearance, and if you’re looking to really stand out from the crowd, then these mesmerizing neon fashion looks will surely make you the center of attention.
Don't do a Nicky Minaj by wearing more than one shade of the same neon!
There is no skin colour that does not suit neon, it is just a matter of choosing the right colours and balancing them so you are able to carry off the look with confidence and finesse!
Statement Shoes
For a starter, the easiest way to embrace neon is by adding a flash of colour with some statement shoes.
Create Contrast
In the colour world, black, white and neon are polar opposites, but when together they are perfectly in sync. Adding a bright neon with white or black clothing creates a contrast that makes for a bold look that’s sure to get you noticed.
Add Neon Accessories
If you’re colour shy and don’t want to travel too far out of your comfort zone, the easiest way to include neon is through accessories. A skinny belt, clutch, sunglasses and/or scarf are a subtle way to ease your way into the trend that practically yells “look at me now”.
Colour Blocking
To create an instant head turning look, combine two neon colours in one ensemble. Anything from red bottoms and a hot pink top or a lime green skirt and yellow jacket is fine. Since the outfit is already bold in colour, keep your silhouette very fitting and simple.
All Neon Everything
If you’re a risk taker all neon is definitely your thing. It’s a fun and crazy way to introduce a playfully wild side into your wardrobe.
