The high temperatures show no signs of stopping and our summer wardrobes need an update. To keep you looking stylish in the heat, today I’m going to introduce three ways to incorporate neon into your wardrobe.

●Styling Tip #1: Stick to one key neon piece at a time
The key to wearing neon without looking like a traffic cone is to stick to one key neon piece at a time instead of doing multiple neons in one outfit. For casual outings, switch out your usual LBD (little black dress) for a neon yellow tube dress and team it up with layered bangles, a clutch, and a pair of lace up sandals. For a cool and comfortable look, do your hair in a cute bun, keep makeup to a minimum, and let the dress speak for itself! If you are not a big fan of going all out bright, consider wearing neon as an accent. For instance, neon color pumps can instantly juice up your otherwise plain work outfit. When styling neon shoes, keep the rest of the outfit simple and plain and go for minimal pieces in the neutral color scheme. A knee-length denim pencil skirt and a loose, grey summer knit top paired with neon coral pumps can be a cute outfit choice for a casual Friday at work.

●Styling Tip #2: Mix and match with neutrals
Super bright neons pair extremely well with neutrals like white, black, grey and camel basics—so when wearing neons you want to make sure you balance the color palette. To experiment with the officially haute trend, switch out neutrals for neons and flaunt your fashion sense! For the office, substitute neons for where you would normally do neutrals and instantly give your style a much-needed boost of color. A bright pink buttondown instead of your usual white shirt can be paired with any neutral colored pair of slacks in white, beige, ivory, peach or soft grey.

●Styling Tip #3: Add neon accessories
Perhaps the easiest way to incorporate neon into your summer wardrobe is to work with neon accessories, shoes, and bags. For instance, a neon necklace worn with a plain grey top is an edgy and unexpected twist—and a pair of neon green pumps can instantly juice up your work outfit. Experiment with something fun and flirty and pair neon colored satchels, clutch bags, sunglasses, bangles, earrings, sandals, and more and add some zip to your outfit!
