The future's bright... it's neon.

Team your neon brights with, well, more neon brights this summer to be in with another hot style trend for the season. Inspired by the sizzling vivid colours of the summer getaway, neon can be fun to wear and adds a bit of spice and an injection of colour to a grey, dreary day. And there’s no going half measures with this style, clash your colours and patterns to make a big impact!
Here are some of the best neon pieces the high street can offer, which inject a bit of ‘wow’ into your wardrobe!

 Sexy, fun and flirty- this dress ticks all the boxes. £39 from American Apparell. 

 This high-neck shift dress literally stuns with this eye-popping yellow. £85 from ASOS.


Pink is the new black and with this pink sheer maxi skirt, you’ll have all eyes on you. £50 from Topshop.


Clash those neon colours on your feet with these gorgeous suede peep toe sandals! £68 from Topshop.

And if clashing neon colours just isn’t for you or you don’t want to over-do it, here are a few options on how to work neon the subtle way so you don’t scare the neighbours...
1.       Add some neon nail polish. This can brighten up any outfit and can make a work outfit or a LBD just pop! Neon nail polish is a bit tongue-in-cheek and shows you have a wild side beneath that plain work-suit exterior. If you work in an office, try it on your toenails instead, which adds a sexy, daring edge to a peep-toe sandal. This is an ideal way of injecting some neon into your wardrobe and especially if your tentative in doing so!
2.       Wear a neon clutch or purse. Neon bags are all the range at the moment and are ideal to making a statement without wearing neon clothing. Plus, neon bags can go with any outfit by brightening up dark, block colours or by clashing with bright colours and patterns.
3.       Work some neon jewellery. Quirky, neon jewellery can look fun and flirty but be careful. Make sure you pick clean, classic pieces, such as a bangle or pair of earrings. Too much can look tack, a definite no-go area.  
4.       Add one piece of neon clothing. Either a shirt or a skirt to put a flirty punch into your outfit. Team your neon shirt with plain trousers or jeans to tone down the look and mix your skirt with a printed t-shirt, to create a simple rock chick look.
Please, however, do not confuse for the tacky 80’s neon of wristbands and legwarmers. That look should not be seen outside of Flares, the nightclub.
Hope you enjoy adding colour to your wardrobe, let me know if you have any favourite neon pieces. Also, as ever feel free to add me on Twitter at @emmarobinson14.
