Neon for Spring/Summer 13

Neon is back and brighter than ever, and can be seen in different aspects of our wardrobes from accessories to outerwear. On hearing 'neon' I can't shake the (embarrassing) image of me as a youngster strutting around at a neon disco in those dreaded leg warmers from Primark... but like myself neon has grown up and is now a desperately sought after colour addition to my wardrobe.

SS 13 Catwalk Inspirations:

Looking back at the fashion week's of SS 13 it's clear to see that there's lots of different ways that neon can be worn but there are three main styles that jump out at me .

• Twinning - matching top and bottoms

• Neon florals

• Statement colour worn with black/white

I particularly like Simone Rocha's neon florals which add a softer element to the dramatic in-your-face impact of the neon colouring. Cara Delvingne works her Simone Rocha dress with a clashing striped shirt - this shouldn't work but totally does! Then again Cara can pull off anything..Whilst I won't be going full on head-to-toe neon just yet, I have found a few great pieces, in particular handbags, which will ease me into the trend.
