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.

My feeling is neon was bad in the 80's and it's still bad today:-( definitely one trend I won't be following ...
Have to agree totally - horrific enough the first time around. At least my excuse then is I was too young to know!
SERIOUSLY. UGLY. NEON. YUCK.
Not one inspiring fashion image in the whole gallery.
Definitely one of those trends people are clearly following because it's a trend and the fash pack have declared it 'so now.'
I had neon pink spaghetti shoes when I was about eight. Not sure if I could resurrect them, but I'm going to may be invest in a couple of neon accessories, such as a clutch and chunky bangle to bring some fun and life to my mainly black, grey and white wardrobe.
