High Street Neon Pieces to Brighten Up Your Wardrobe

Neon is always a summertime dream, and as Covid restrictions are lifted and the roaring twenties x2 can officially begin, making a statement is more of a priority than ever when selecting the perfect outfit for any occasion

You glow girl! It’s Leo season and you best believe there’s no better time to act like the main character, pop on a luminous ‘fit and channel the confidence you have after a few glasses of bubbly in your day to day routine. Take that Instagram photo in front of a crowd, drop it low in the club like no one is watching and wear that revealing crop top you’ve been saving until you felt confident enough- we promise you look great. Our babe Billie Eilish gave neon green a real moment over the past few years, but the team’s picks this week are head over heels for all things hot, hot pink.

From small nods to the trend in the form of accessories such as strappy heels or mini bags to full neon extravaganza dresses and jumpsuits, it’s not one for the faint-hearted.

I don’t own much neon I’m usually a neutral gal but if I’m going to go for it I’d blast this beautiful sequin bardot number from PLT. Would wear with some simple white accessories because let’s face it this dress is doing all the talking. I’d also slick my hair back with some Ouai pomade and live my full Instagram baddie dream.

I love an ‘out there’ look so neon is right up my street, and it also looks fab with a tan in the summer months too so I’m all over this trend right now! Ganni is one of those brands I’m forever lusting over and these shorts are no exception, giving me ultimate American sporty vibes and also look v comfortable. I’ve doubled up on the neon with this bag from Roop which I know I would get so much wear out of despite the bright colour palette, and tied it all together with a basic but cute top and comfy trainers.

Lareese

I’m most at home in top-to-toe neutrals and earthy tones but I have pushed myself out of my beige bitch comfort zone lately, embracing colour and playful prints in moderation. Admittedly, I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to neon but hot pink is the cheery antithesis to the lockdowns we’ve all just lived through, so I’m going ham on this happy shade. Gimme an oversized blazer, bracket and tailored trousers for a few vinos in the sun and consider me a neon convert!

Holly

I’m here for the neon trend, I’m all for standing out from the crowd so let’s hope not too many people jump on it. Although I do find it annoying when flies come to me more because of the bright colours. I’ll opt for something simple like a neon t-shirt contrast it with high waisted black shorts and black sandals. Then, as ever some chunky jewellery and we’re off for brunch or beach drinkies.

I really like a pop of neon in my wardrobe, I’ve gone with a really simple neon slip dress from Collusion in hot pink. I like this as it can be dressed up and down, versatile pieces are always great for getting the most out of a piece of clothing. I’ve paired it with some black accessories and some fun jewellery to tie it all together!
