Spring 2012 Neon Trend

This summer, neon clothes and accessories are bigger and brighter than ever. Lime green, hot pink and citron yellow shades seem to be everywhere this season from runaways to A-listers.

The easiest way to include neon into your wardrobe is through accessories. Handbags, belts, shoes, scarves and jewellery are the easiest way to add a touch of colour to your outfit.

Thinking about neon, the best combination would be a mix of neutrals with neon accents.  One of my favourite designers this season for wearing neon is Nanette Lepore.  Her collection presented at NY Fashion Week for spring 2012, left me speechless. The effect showed on the runaway was definitely charming and sometimes abrasive.

From orange skirts and yellow tops to blue dresses with pink highlights, and from neon swimsuits to bright neon shoes, this collection is so fresh and the colour palette and combination is just amazing.

Nanette Lepore www.nanettelepore.com collection is definitely one to be considered this summer.

All About Neon

It’s official – NEON is taking over this summer! And it’s a good job too, as it seems the sun certainly isn’t brightening our days!

 Blinding yellows, pinks, greens and purples have been exciting the catwalks and now the high street is ablaze too!

Julianne Hough (1) had the right idea in her dazzling yellow dress at the premiere of Rock Of Age which she stars in alongside Tom Cruise and Russell Brand.

But if walking around top to toe in fluoro leaves you feeling like a lollipop lady – just a small injection of the bright stuff can really ‘make’ and outfit! Pop a coat of POP Beauty Nail Glam (2) polish in neon colours on, or finish off an LBD with some shocking yellow sandals like Kristen Stewart (3) at the premiere of Snow White and The Huntsman.

Trends come and go and neon will be no different, so if you don’t fancy splashing out on the lime Jimmy Choos, go all creative and get your hands on some neon spray paint and transform an old wicker bag (4) or the heels of some last season shoes at the back of the wardrobe! Guarantee – no one will have the same ones!

 (5) Juicy Couture – flat shoes

 (6) The Leather Satchel Company – bag

 (7) Carolina Bucci neon twisters – bracelets

 (8) Olivia Divine – earrings

 (9) Jimmy Choo – heels

 (10) Zara – heels

 (11) ASOS – watch

(12) ASOS – dress
