Neon is making a comeback! Whether you liked the 80’s or not, you’re going to be reminded of that decade constantly this spring with all of the great neon fashion popping up everywhere, from the runways to the streets. While the brave are sporting bold pops of neon in dresses and tops, the rest of us can sneak in this fun trend by wearing a cute neon belt, handbag, shoes, or piece of jewelry! Just remember that a little goes a long way so you don’t end up channeling Cyndi Lauper circa 1985.
When sporting this fabulous, bright trend, one to two pops of neon per outfit is plenty. If you do want to go big with the neon trend and try a bold neon top, pant, or dress, be sure to keep the rest of your outfit neutral, and let the neon piece be the attention-grabbing pop of color in your outfit. The last thing you want is lots of neon competing for attention – unless you’re going to an 80’s party, then feel free to pile on the neon!
The great thing about this fun trend is it’s super easy to incorporate into your wardrobe, goes amazingly well with so many different things, is incredibly versatile, and for those of us on a budget, there are plenty of affordable neon fashions, AND they are easy to find!
If you do choose to go neon this spring, have fun with it, keep it simple, and own it! Because after all, confidence is key to every outfit! In the good words of Ms. Mary Kay Ashe, “While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self confidence – which I believe, does make the woman.”
