If you’re wondering how to wear the neon trend, I have a few streetstyle inspired ways to wear neon that you just have to see! Neon can be fun, but it’s tricky to wear — too much of it and you’ll stand out for all the wrong reasons! But taking cues from the stylish urban fashionistas I see every day, I’ve rocked the look, and you can too. Here are 7 streetstyle inspired ways to wear neon.
1 Neutrals and Neon
Imagine this satchel by Cambridge Satchel, paired with a sandy-neutral outfit. Wow, would that pink pop! That’s why this bag, worn with nifty neutrals, is one of my favorite ways to wear neon! Don’t like the pink? No worries… it comes in neon green or yellow, too!

2 Nautical Neon
Let’s take it one step farther, and wear this neon top with a pair of cropped pants and boat shoes or Keds for a nautical look with a little extra zing. I found this top at ModCloth, but I’ve seen similar ones at Forever 21 and H&M. How much fun would this be to wear to a summer evening date? You’ll glow in the twilight!
3 All Together Now
Who says you have to only wear one neon hue in each ensemble? This color block dress in all your favorite sherbet-neon colors is ideal for every date you have planned this summer. It’s covered in glittery sequins, the exact opposite of your LBD. It’ll be impossible to match this dress with neon shoes, so don’t try; go for gold instead.
4 One Pop
Sometimes it’s the little things that can make an outfit, and this neon necklace is the perfect example. Pair it with a contrasting graphic print tee, add your favorite floral-print pants, and you’ve got a streetstyle-inspired outfit that’s sure to turn heads. Or wear it to the office with a crisp white blouse and your favorite pencil skirt.
5 Sensational Shoes
No matter which neon color is your favorite, you’re sure to find it somewhere on the ankle band of these sensational sandals! I’d wear them with a neon pink top and white skinnies, and maybe add a neon bag just for kicks. Wouldn’t they be fun to wear to a night-time street fair?
6 Casual Friday
We all have our favorite outfit for casual Friday, but maybe it’s time to add a little wow to your wardrobe, even for the most casual day of the work-week. This tank is the solution, in a bright yellow-green hue. Layer it under a cropped blazer with a long pendant necklace and skinny jeans, or with cuffed-hem shorts and your fave flats.
7 Nailed It!
It’s totally acceptable to rock your neon on your nails. And with this highlighter-bright neon yellow, and a matching brilliant pink, why not? Illamasqua nail varnish stays on practically forever, too, so you can be brilliant for days and days. I’d wear this with my best grey and white outfit, rather than red, just to be sassy.
Now that you’ve seen all these eye-catching and on-trend neon pieces, with clear instructions on how to wear them best, which piece will you try first? And how will you wear it? Or is there another way to wear neon that’s inspired you to try the trend? Do tell!
