Love
it or hate it, neon has emerged back from the 80s and appears to have
settled permanently in our wardrobes. Thinking Hollywood, dodgy party
hotels and bohemian night seekers? Well, not exactly. The new trend
has transcended its roots. It is all over the runways and more
importantly – outside them. It's fresh and sophisticated with an
almost futuristic appeal.
Experimenting
with neon is a sign of character – it takes guts to wear something
that screams LOOK-AT-ME! In this sense, the trend is a symbol of
female empowerment. Many of us are shy when it comes to colors but
our favorite celebrities from Jessica Alba, to Lupita Nyong'o and Alessandra Ambrosio are rocking the neon trend. It reminds us
that we can make a fashion statement and have a little fun in the
process.
If
you haven't done so during the past seasons, it's a good time to
invest in neon anything – from clothing, to shoes, bags or simply
nail polish. You can ride the trend in many different ways: you can
go flashy or ladylike. Neon is subject to personal interpretation but
it's essential to be served in just the right amount. You may want to
avoid too literal interpretations of the 80s, or causing nausea to
your companions with a head-to-toe look. If it has to be head to toe,
opt for monochrome or some smart color-blocking. As usual, less is
more. Balance your neon pieces with neutrals. Use a splash of neon as
your statement piece and go ladylike in the rest of your outfit.
Instead of being too literal and opting for a tight jeans combo, go
for a classic tailored silhouette.
Whether
you'll opt for a bright beanie or you'll brave a fluorescent gown,
enjoy the neon ride!
