Neons were in full bloom all throughout spring and have been making their way into summer clothing and accessories as well. Over here, I took a bit of a risk and incorporated two different trends into one single outfit.
1. Mixed Prints - A simple trick is to make sure both prints fall under a similar colour palette. Using a solid item to separate two different prints gives the eye a break and allows the rest of your outfit to stand out. This will keep your look from getting overwhelming.
2. - Pairing a black & white outfit with a pop of electric neon kimono creates a high contrast look that will instantly perk up an otherwise plain ensemble. The fluidity of the fabric makes it breathable and allows tons of movement which is a great option during the hot summer days.
For the dark and neutral lovers, neons can be a bit intimidating to pull off so a good way to try out this trend is through accessories: a colourful bracelet, a bold clutch, perhaps a bright lipstick or even nail polish. The possibilities are endless :) Try it in small doses until you feel comfortable enough to wear it in bigger statement pieces. Embrace it as a form of art and experiment! :)
TIP: Go for darker, muted colours on areas you want to downplay and use neon as an accent only. Its important to not overdo it, otherwise you're gonna give everyone around you a headache.
