Fall 2015’s Most Wearable Fashion Trend: Edgy Neon
The electric shades that hit their peak in the ’80s are returning in a much more sophisticated way, now paired with neutral colors such as gray, navy, or camel. Bold color is all the rage, take it from Gigi Hadid, especially retro neon. Born in the 80′s, neons like hot pink, electric orange, lime green, fluro yellow and bright turquoise have made a comeback on the runways and on the streets.

Wear as an accessory. You don’t have to go all out with neon, because a little goes a long way. Add a bold orange belt to a little black dress, a neon flat to a boyfriend jean and blazer, or a hot pink watch to a tank and cutoffs. If you really love a particular neon, pick up that color in a bag that you can tote everywhere. A neon accessory is still a powerful nod to the neon trend:
