Fashion Trends 2012: Neon

THE BRIGHTER THE BETTER

Turn That Colour Up! A toast To: Neon

While many designers this season are focusing on low-key silhouettes, delightful floral interpretations or the elegance of the 1920s, planet Neon is here to stay. A celebrity that's never afraid to rock a flamboyant style is tennis star Bethanie Mattek-Sands who wore a fluorescent Alex Noble design at Wimbledon last year or Sarah Jessica Parker for the Premiere of Sex and the City 2.

Just like 2011, this year is packed with daring colours. Check out some vivid styles we stumbled across on net-a-porter. Our favourite is Mara Hoffman's printed lace-up bikini. These showstoppers will ensure you take centre stage this spring. And with all the neon popping up in fashion, we would be mad not to add a punch of colour on the lips or a bright orange to the nails. Now, if you haven't spiced up your wardrobe yet, do it now and kick that winter blues good bye.
