MizEllie: Summer brights with MizEllie

With summer well and truly upon us now is the time to ditch the black and start wearing bright colours and this spring/summer neon is having something of a comeback.

This summer it is all about bright colours with neons adding a chic colourful twist to any outfit. In fact the spring/summer 2013 catwalks were split between pretty pastels and bright neons. From hot pinks, to grass green, bright oranges and cobalt blue there were a number of bright creations on the catwalks. In London Simone Rocha, Erdem, Matthew Williamson, Antonio Berardi and David Koma all had bright neon's at their runway shows while Versus, Ports 1961, Missoni and No 21 did the same in Milan. Proenza Schouler took the colour bandwagon in New York and Hussein Chalayan did the same in Paris.

Neon shades can add a fresh zing to any look and are perfect when the weather starts to heat up as they seem to go well with the holiday feel that summer brings as you don't want to wear dowdy black all summer do you?

But how do you wear neons? Well on the catwalks there was a lot of matchy, matchy head to toe looks which were bold and bright and made to be noticed. However, for a lot of people who are new to neon this may be a little bit too much as it may feel just too bright. This is wear you can pick your favourite neon colour and use it as an accent to your outfit. So a bright cobalt blouse would look great with a pair of black trousers or jeans or why not try a bright and bold zingy pencil skirt and pair it with a black or white blouse? It is also perfect to pair with another key summer trend the monochrome look as you can use a neon piece to offset your black and white outfit.

However, if this is even a little too bold for your tastes it doesn't mean you have to forgo the whole look instead inject some bright and bold neon tones into your outfit using accessories. A chic acid green or yellow clutch bag will brighten up the plainest LBD while neck scarves are the perfect summer accessory and can be as bright as you like. So a hot pink silk scarf worn with a white blouse, for example, will be bold enough to get noticed but not so bold that you feel self conscience.
