When you think of neon you think of bright, bold and of course the 80s. And when you think of the 80s you think big hair, bright accessories and blue eye shadow. So when you see a neon necklace, fluro shoes or highlighter coloured jeans you automatically think 80’s look. However there are ways you can still wear neon brights without looking like an extra from the cast of ‘Flash Dance’.
You can even wear neon to work, it all just depends on how you style them. For example rocking up to the office in a bright highlighter yellow top and citrus green pants may be a little too OTT for a lot of work places but a simple touch here and there is definitely ok.
Take this amazing neon pink necklace from Equip at Belmont Forum, it’s the perfect way to inject a bit of colour into your work wardrobe. The neon detailing paired with gold gives this necklace a classier feel whilst still having a funky, stylish vibe.
I chose to pair the necklace with this navy blue top as the two colours work well together. When wearing such a vibrant and non-corporate colour you should always pair it with a traditional workplace hue such as black, charcoal, navy or cream. The navy hue of this top brings a professional and sophisticated feel to the necklace making it work for the office.
You also need to stick to traditional lines and styles when you’re wearing such a bright piece. That’s why I chose this plain black pencil skirt. The simple lines and traditional work style helps to further add sophistication and a corporate edge to the look.
The rest of your accessories need to be simple and have a classy feel to them. This cuff is a great example of a stylish, yet work worthy piece, the simple style and clean lines give it a classy edge.
Similarly this gold ring is another good office worthy piece and works well with this overall look. Paired with clean lines of the skirt and classic hue of the top these accessories help to turn a simple, traditional work look into a stylish and sophisticated office outfit.
Lastly I chose these simple black wedges as again the classy and traditional style helps to keep this look appropriate for the office. Because this necklace is such an out there piece you must keep everything else classic and simple. You could also opt for a pair of nude pumps as long as the style of the shoe is classic.
So before you write off neon as a mistake made in the eighty’s and keep it reserved for dress up parties and nights out on the town, remember that with simple elegant styling and classy pieces neon can definitely find its place in the office.
For a necklace like this and a variety of many more head to Belmont Forum where there are a huge range of accessory stores filled with neon pieces just like this.
Happy Shopping
