Neon Sophisticate


When you think of neon fashion your first thought is probably the 80s! However, many of the fall runway shows prove that neon can be so much more. Many fabulous designers are taking a more modern, edgy, and sophisticated approach when it comes to bright colors. They're taking a huge trend and updating it to make it more relevant for the modern day girl. The best way to wear hot pink, orange, blue, yellow, and green is to tone it down with black. I love that this look can even be work appropriate.

  12. I'm a big fan of MK's fall 2009 collection. The simple, sophisticated styles are a great foil to the neon colors.
