It seems that everywhere you turn, neon is proclaimed to be the key to this summer's fashion trends: and yet, some of us are wondering how to integrate it into our wardrobes and still remain true to our personal style: here are my tips to wearing neon with effortless chic!
1. Balance is everything. Neon can make a visual pop, but when your outfit lacks stabilizing elements, it can overpower you. Stick to one bright colour, and pair it with neutrals. Lemon yellow can look smashing with cloud gray, and loud raspberry pink can turn luxurious with chocolate brown or black.
2. Choose one statement piece: it IS possible to have too much of a good thing. Choose one sweater/blazer, or a shirt, or purse, or shoes, even a striking lip colour! If it has a blank canvas to work with, it will do just fine. If you crowd it with too many competing colours or too many contrasting patterns, its' effect will be diluted.
3. When following trends, it is always important to stay true to your own personal taste. Adapt this trend to fit your own. If you are more discreet, small touches of this, from a more daring lip shade to nail colour to statement jewellery or handbag, can work for you! If you are the more daring sort, pick a dress or leggings or a tunic in one of these exciting shades and have only neutrals for the rest of your accessories!
Happy hunting,
