Whether neon is one of your favourite colours or you are just testing out the trend, it is still a great way to add some brightness and cheerfulness to your summer wardrobe and make you have a fresh look. No matter what today’s trend may be, the colour for your body becomes trendy only when it suits you well. Always opt for the neon colours that accentuate your best features. For instance, neon blue tones highlight blue eyes, while tanner shades put the stress on hair highlights.

How to choose the neon colour?

Don’t know if the colour will suit you? Then try small neon accessories first before purchasing any other piece of clothing. A neon belt or a clutch, or just your favourite neon nail polish can give you a hint if you like the colour or not. Once you check these, go ahead and buy your beloved neon colour outfit. Check if the outfit fits you well. Since neon colours are extremely bold and eye-catching, they tend to make anyone look larger than they are. If you have a pear figure, use the neon colours for your top part. If you have an ideal body shape with proper curves and slim legs, then wear neon on whichever zone you like.

Where to wear?

You shouldn’t wear bright neon colours at the office, to an interview or during any other business-related activities. Yet, do not hesitate to wear neon colours on informal occasions, when visiting your friends, hanging out with them or for a school cocktail party. For any other events that demand high fashion, neon colours can, by all means, prevail in your outfit.

How to wear?

  1. Use black or neutral together with neon colours to bring the bold and bright hues into balance.
  2. Do not take too many accessories with these bright colours. For instance, don’t match your bangles and hoops to your neon mini skirt.
  3. Neon on the bottom half is not that acceptable in most cases, because it’s not next to your face. If you do not have a slim figure in the thigh area, then you will highlight the imperfection even more. 
  4. Dark black tights always work. With these tights, you can choose any neon colour for your top or neon loose dresses and you will have a fascinating look.
