This Is The Street Style Approved Shade Of The Season

There is a time and a place for minimal, monochrome and muted tones - Vanilla Girl anyone? But, for the season ahead we're all about brighter futures. If (like me) you're in a style rut of dressing in all black, then it's time to venture out from your comfort zone and inject a little neon into your outfit.

If the weather is dull, opting for a neon outfit is the perfect way to instantly lift your spirits and brighten your day - literally. From fluoro pink and orange to zesty lime greens, glow in the dark yellows and neon blue, there are plenty of outfit ideas to pick from.

Sure, a full neon outfit may be a little too much to bear for some of us, but adding in pops of bright shades can really lift a look. Try a neon bag or accessory to take muted colours and dark shades from dreary to delightful. A favourite combo is classic slouchy trousers, simple tank top, ankle grazing coat and neon bag - a contemporary way to wear your basics.

Try pairing your neon with denim for a 2023 take on the trend. Instead of your usual beige trench coat, opt a neon fuchsia pink bomber jacket to really make an impact. Or try a highlighter-bright coat thrown on over knitwear for an easy outfit with maximum impact, remember, bright colours aren't just for your holiday wardrobe.

Don't be afraid of colour clashing combos. Why not wear blue with orange or try green and pink to really nail this trend. And, of course, the easiest way to wear neon is by pairing fluorescent shades with black or white. Forget the LBD, we're all about the LND. That's little neon dress, of course.
