This summer (and earlier in the spring), neon colors have been one of the big fashion trends. But, the problem is "How should they be worn?" Well, I'm here to put those questions to rest so we can enjoy this very unique style before fall roles around. What you MUST know about wearing a neon accessory is that it needs to be paired with either black, white, cream, or nude. This is mainly because you want that accessory (or in this case your bag) to be the primary focus of the outfit. If you wear too many colors, someone looking at you won't know where to rest their eyes; in simpler terms, there will be WAY too much going on. Also, another great thing about wearing an outfit like the one above is that the look is effortless; all you need are basic pieces like a tee, jeans, and a blazer. But, like I said before, the colors of those items are the key. Read on to find out exactly how to put an outfit together like the one above.
P.S.- Both of the outfits below are based upon the two different outfit images in the collage above. Below, I say "shown above" and "not shown above". When I say "shown above" I am NOT referring to the images (because then both would be "shown above"). I mean that the clothing articles put together as an outfit above is what it is based upon.
Girly Chic (with a white blazer, shown above): To start this outfit, I have chosen a pair of black, high rise skinny jeans. These jeans are a simple and basic piece that is very helpful to have around. Then, (though it is not shown in the outfit above) put on a white tee shirt or button down. If you decide to go with the button down, try to find one that is lightly textured (slightly wrinkly) and very thin (almost transparent), this creates a soft and flowy summer look. If you decide on a tee, just try it on with the rest of the outfit and see what you think because so many different ones can go well with this outfit as long as they are white. Next, throw on a cream colored blazer (I LOVE the one in the link). After this, put on some black heels (or, if you prefer, flats). Make sure the heels (or flats) have a sheen and glossy surface (like these patent leather pumps). The reason we are using dark colored heels is because the jeans are dark and the upper half is all white, so by adding the dark heels to the bottom we are evening out the two sides so that attention is not drawn to the fact that you are wearing colored shoes instead of the bag. To put this look together I selected a beautiful, neutral, light pink and gold ring. This ring can go with almost everything, so it is defiantly worth having around. By putting on this ring, it gives the outfit a little more color without taking attention away from the bag. Now, if you have to put your statement piece bag down you are not as "naked" in just black and white. Last but most definitely not least, grab your bag and you are ready to rock it!
Rad Rocker (with a black blazer, not shown above): I'm not going to go into as much explanation or description with this one, but feel free to post a question as a comment and I will be sure to give you a detailed answer right away. Start with a pair of blue skinny jeans. The shade of the jean is up to you, but I suggest that it is not too light. Whether it is bright-ish blue (like the one in the picture in the upper left hand corner above) or an almost black dark blue, as long as you think it looks good with everything else. Then throw on a black tee and blazer (I like the "boyfriend" style blazer for this look). Slip on some black bootie- heels (booties with heels) and toss on your neon bag and- vuala! Your outfit is complete :).
