The Neon Trend Is Getting A Summer '19 Rebirth
If you haven't noticed by now, a clear front-runner in the summer trend stakes is neon. From music festivals to the beach, to daytime and nighttime looks, neon is an undeniable trend this summer. A touch of neon in your outfit is the perfect accent to this hot girl summer we are all supposed to be having.
The 80s neon trend was all over the Spring Summer '19 fashion week catwalks and celebrities like Kelly Rowland and Rihanna have been all over it. What I love most about neon is that it makes your skin pop, acting as a highlighter for the skin.
To experiment with neon, style yourself in fluorescent green, yellow, pink or orange, head to toe or add a pop of neon to your look. I personally have lined up a few neon bikini sets for my upcoming girls' trip to Ibiza and I am planning to throw in a mini neon slip dress number also. For a more subtle look, I'd go for a neon satin slip skirt or a neon blouse, tee or bodysuit to pair with mom jeans.
