Oh, come on – don’t look at me like that. Neon colour really isn’t so scary. Really.

Citrus yellow, hot pink and lime green are among the super bright shades freshening up winter wardrobes. Feeling a little colour shy? You can ease into the look with bold accessories – last weekend I highlighted an all white outfit with a flourescent clutch and colour pop shoes (thank you Zara).

Mixing neons with neutral tones, avoiding head-to-toe colour, trying nail polish in highlighter shades and sticking to sporty, streamlined silhouettes are some other low risk ways to stay on trend.

Why stick to just one shade? Add a yellow messenger bag to an electric pink frock.
