If you’re one of those people who believe that neon are colors that only belong to glow-in-the-dark stickers and bubble gum, then you might find the neon fashion trend quite overwhelming at first. However, neon fashion colors may just be the thing you need to add a bit of excitement to your wardrobe of monochromatic and neutral-colored clothes. Bright colors are all the rage for spring and summer seasons.

The good news is that you don’t have to be a style expert to get with this trend. Here are some tips to help you follow the neon style trend without going overboard:

Start With a Single Neon Item
The best way to start experimenting with the neon look is to choose a single neon item to add to your look. This could be a pair of neon green sandals, a neon pink leather jacket or a bright yellow messenger bag. In fact, most celebrities are getting with the neon trend by focusing on a single piece.

Try Neon Accesories
Wearing neon accessories is another great way to ease yourself into the neon fashion trend. There is now a wide range of neon-colored accessories that you can choose from. For instance, spice up a dark corporate outfit with a fun neon necklace. Going out for the evening? Give that little black dress a touch of color by donning a chunky neon bracelet. Even adding a neon ring or a neon handbag to your everyday casual outfits can make a huge impact.

Pair Neons With Neutrals
Pairing neons with neutrals is another sure-fire way to get with the neon trend. Combining neon and neutral pieces in one outfit creates a sense of balance and makes the brighter piece stand out more effectively. Camel shades also complement neon colors so try experimenting with this combination on your next outfit!

  1. Cali, you are the first person I’ve seen try to tackle the neon color choice for outfits! I like that you provide examples of how to wear neon and what you can pair it with. It makes it easier for someone to style themselves with bright colors if they have neutral ones to compliment them as well.
