Neon is reminiscent of a teenage trend from the mid 80's that re-emerged for the 90's acid rave scene but, if you feel that the current candy and citrus colours are too much of an electric shock for some of you grown up fashionistas, then rest assured that if it was cool back in the day, then acid hues are HOT right now!
For Spring 2012 you may be looking to fizz it up whilst maintaining a sophisticated edge - you can and you should! The current neon trend has been reinvented with playful and tasteful perspectives, from complete colour-block ensembles to statement accessories, the acid brights won't burn any holes in your style power.
