It may sound like a potential style sin, but combining neons and prints can actually result in a winning look.

Neon is a versatile trend that exudes confidence, demands attention and takes any outfit from drab to fab faster than you can say “fluorescent”.

When it first appeared on the scene in the 1980s, the neon trend could be viewed as a sartorial manifestation of a cultural shift – a generation embracing excess of all kinds as they rebelled against the rigid social constructs of their parents’ time. Donning eye-popping colours was a statement as much as a look.
