You can pull off neon without looking like an over-zealous Zumba instructor…

The weather’s warming up, meaning your wardrobe should be too. Ease back into colour with day-glo accents – splashes of neon, like a shirt collar or a sandal strap, can transform basics into a pretty sweet spring outfit.

It’s hands-down the coolest way to embrace a trend that would otherwise be considered garish, and not just by your gran. Plus, stocking up on fluoro accent pieces stops you from shelling out loads of cash for a new wardrobe of rainbow-coloured clothing.

Revive your everyday denim with some acid-bright shoes, a belt or fun neon clutch, or throw on a hot-pink bra to jolt a plain tank back to life (go for wire-free and an unpadded cup so the modest shape balances the eye-catching colour). Finish with a slick of bright lippie and you’ve got a quick styling update for the girl who isn’t keen on chartreuse leggings and an orange-sherbet top outside of the aerobics-themed fancy dress party.
