In recent trends, it is easy to find bright colors paired with eye-catching makeup looks. These neon trends originated in the 80’s and have been highlighted in many different influencer and celebrity looks. Whether it’s a pop of neon through a purse, sunglasses, jewelry, a hat, or worn throughout their whole outfit styled with a dress, sweatsuit, or pantsuit, neon is having a moment right now. 

It is scientifically proven that brighter colors make you happier, so adding some neon to your wardrobe can only improve your mood!

Neon can be a scary trend to some people, but it can make all the difference to your outfit. Pairing a neutral colored outfit with a neon accessory is becoming all the rage. Even adding a bold highlighter hue to your makeup look can complete your look for the day.

Neon is being seen more and more in fashion, and it can be worn with all types of outfits. Wearing stylish neon athleisure to head to the gym, for example. Or wearing a tailored neon blazer to wear to a business meeting or to use for a night out on the town. Even a bright sweatsuit can have you looking comfy and stylish. 

If adding neon to your wardrobe seems a little too frightening, start off with simple additions of the bright colors. A pair of earrings, some layered necklaces, or even having a neon color or design on your nails can help you dip your toes into the trend.

No matter what your typical style of clothing is, there is a place for neon to be added in. Next time you are putting together an outfit, do not look past your neon items. Embrace the bright colors to form your look for the day.
