Choose the color that suits you well

 WHERE TO WEAR

Neon colors can be worn on informal occasions, when visiting your friends or hanging out with them. If the event demands high fashion, do not hesitate to add a twist by including neon in your look. For other cases, the choice of neon colors depends on the type of the event you are going to attend. Check the dress code if there is any. Stay on the safe side without too much attention. It is better to be safe than inappropriate. Avoid wearing bright neon colors to office, to an interview or during any other business related activities.

HOW TO WEAR

Pair black or neutral colors together with neon colors in order to bring the bold and bright hues into balance. Don't wear too many accessories with these bright colors. Don’t match your bangles and hoops to your neon skirt, for example.

Start with accessorizing

Since neon colors are extremely bold and eye-catching, they tend to make anyone look larger than they are. If you have a triangle figure, use the neon colors for your top part. For oval shaped bodies, try using neon bottoms. If you have an ideal body shape with proper curves and slim legs, then wear neon on whichever zone you like.

To be on the safe side & to avoid looking tacky, dress as you would normally do and wear one piece of cloth in neon color. Combine colors as you normally do and apply this to neon colors. For example, if blue and yellow look good together, then use fluorescent yellow shorts with a vibrant blue blouse. Stick to the color blocking rules, and you’ll do it right. However, if there are colors that you do not know how to combine, pair the neon color with a classic white or black piece and you will have an ideal outfit.

NEON ACCESSORIES

 The best way is to start with the little things, like accessories. Just add a touch of neon here and there. It may be in your stilettos, belts, necklace or a clutch. You can also try neon nail polishes once you are ready to take it to the next level.

A subtle way to test out the neon trend is by accessorizing. Pair a simple gray top with a pair of classic black pants, then a pair of bright neon high heeled shoes or a bag will only add twist to this basic outfit. You can also put on a neon necklace, earrings or bracelets to polish off the look. A classical look will always be modernized and refreshed with a slight touch of neon appearing on it.

  

Another great way to sport a neon color is - building an outfit around neutrals. Try pairing a neon top with a basic black skirt. The neutral color will help the neon color stick out. Then add a pair of nude ballet flats, simple accessories and a classic black bag.
