Look #1: Festival bound neon

The first outfit in my how to style neon colors look book is perfect for festival season. Whether that means music, good food, a ferris wheel or two, this look has your back. This mesh neon shirt throws yellow, pink, and orange at you. I know that feels intimidating! That is why the other major elements of this look are white. The shorts, sandals, and crossbody bring control to the outfit, while still letting the neon have its moment. Since the mesh is see through, some sort of cami, bralette, or bodysuit is needed, but I am opting for a neon yellow bodysuit as the shirt is primarily yellow. With all of the colors, this gives much creative freedom to play with accessories. Neon pink hoops and a few hair scrunchies are playful and feminine.

Look #2: Neon orange appeal

My second outfit is great for running errands, shopping, going out to eat, and basically whatever. That is primarily why I am opting for a flat shoe, because your girl needs something she can walk in all day! Neon stripes are a completely safe way to dip your toe into the land of neon. Of course, the hair scrunchie matches perfectly, but you can do without if all the color makes you nervous. I get so many summertime vibes from this outfit, making the straw handbag a natural pairing. Now, you might be curious about the rainbow earrings. Since rainbow goes with everything, I am using this opportunity to draw the orange out of the earrings. The other colors are a refreshing addition to this style.

Look #3: Neon in the workplace

My last outfit in this how to style neon colors look book is totally work appropriate. The neon green really pops against all the black. Clearly, I am taking the pinstripes to the extreme with them being on the pants and the shirt. I am tucking the shirt in so that the paper bag waist details on the pants do not get covered up. If you cannot wear a sleeveless shirt in the workplace, or maybe the temperature is not forgiving, try a blazer, cardigan, or leather number like I am. Finish off the look with hoops that are not too flashy, and a matching clutch.

You can start out small, with a simple pair of earrings or a handbag, and then work your way up from there. I hope that this post proves that neon does not always have to be flashy or scary, but it can if you want it to be. Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
