NEON TRENDS FOR MEN

Neon colors are everywhere this summer.  Go all out with a bright neon shirt, pants, or shorts or be more subtle and add neon in a printed short, belt, or shoes.  Neon is great for beach and vacation wear.  Neon does not have to be the highlighter colors from the 80's but vibrant shades such as lime, yellow, blue, coral or tangerine and pink are great options.

NEON BRIGHTS

Are everywhere this season?  Some of us grew up in the 80's and remember wearing these.  But regardless of your age and style, there are easy ways to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe.  To ease in to this trend, add neon in your jewelry.  Bright earrings punch up any look.  Try a neon flip flop if at the beach or a neon cross-body bag or clutch.  High heels are a great place to add a little color and flare.

The difference the current neon trend versus the older is that neon can also be a bright pop of color versus the day glow colors of the past.  Both are popular but wear what you are comfortable with.  Playful green (a duller version of bright neon lime green), oranges (which can include tangerine), bright pink (fuchsia and brighter), yellow are all great colors to add to a look.  Make your look stand out with a bold/bright color.
