Take a bold stand with neon fashion, this summer
Bonus spoke to Monica Hunadi Talane, a style consultant, about how to make the neon look work.
POLOKWANE – Neon is certainly the trend of the year and yet it is not easy to wear. It is easy to get carried away with this look which makes it a bit tricky to dress up. BONUS spoke to Monica Hunadi Talane, a style consultant, about how to make the neon look work.
For the bolder fashionistas we would go for the head-to-toe neon look, this is a daring look and has an electric feel to it. The even bolder person can wear the neon head-to-toe look, but in different colours which is great for summer. For example, you can wear a neon yellow top with a yellow skirt or mix the colours by wearing a neon shirt with a neon blue pants.
You can also opt for neon jeans or leggings. Choose a pink or green pair for a casual-stylish look. You can pair it with a solid colour coloured top to give the look some balance. Be a little risqué at night time and wear a form-fitting neon dress, this will be a colourful spin on the little black dress which every woman should have.
Another alternative for a night-time neon look would be alternating the dress with a mini-skirt.
For those who fear form-fit or want to cover certain areas of the body, the A-line skirt is a great alternative.
Those who just want a touch of this trend, can alternatively have neon as the pièce de résistance of the outfit. You can have it as shoes, a handbag or even other accessories if you want to be a little bit more demure in your use of neon.
