How to Wear Neon

I have had a lot of requests for a neon post so here we go, darling readers. The neon trend is quite big, and also fun. Bright colours are a statement on their own so it’s important to style them properly. There are no strict rules, just go with whatever suits your personality best. Are you bold and loud or are you more poised and gentle? There’s a neon outfit to suit everyone…

1. A is for Accessorise

As with most other trends, the easiest way to incorporate neon into your wardrobe is through accessories. Neon scarves, belts, shoes, handbags and jewellery are all simple and inexpensive ways to add a punch of colour to any outfit.

2.  Pair it with Neutrals

Choose one piece of bright neon clothing (either skinny jeans or a tee) and team it with a neutral colour palette of white or grey. Grey works fantastically well with neon, and I love this combination. You will too. Pairing neon with a neutral allows the bright colour to be the focus of the outfit, creating a bold, yet still relatively tame look. (Body Shape Alert: for girls with a pear body shape, wear a neon top and for girls with an apple body shape, go for neon bottoms). For those of you who like to walk on the wild side, you can try pairing your neon with animal print, just make sure that you keep it neutral.

3.  Add Denim

Go for a racerback tank top in a neon colour of your choice and pair with your favourite denim shorts + cute flats OR skinny jeans (roll them up a bit) + nude heels OR go for a plain white tank + neon heels.

4.  Create Contrast

Wearing bright neon with sleek black clothing and accessories not only creates fantastic contrast, but also makes for a chic day time or a glam and bold night time look that’s sure to get you noticed.

5.  Play with colour

Take colour blocking to another level and experiment with bright colours!

Now that you know how to wear neon, go out there and turn some heads.
