How To Wear Neon Without Looking Like a Teen

By -
A friend of ours asked how she, a married mother of two, can wear neon without looking either like a reject of the 80s or like the teenager she's not.

Put neon to work. Wear your neon with your most conservative office attire -- a suit, a button down, a sheath dress.


Suited for Neon





Professional Neon



Make it retro. If you don't want to look 80s retro, try to look 50s or 60s retro. Which leads me to my next point...


Retro Neon



Be a lady. Ruffles, lace, peplums and other romantic details provide contrast to the harsh nature of neon. One of my favorite ways to wear the trend is a neon cami under a black lace tank.


Neon and Mushroom



Avoid the hyper-casual. If you want to avoid looking like a teenager, don't wear your trendy neon with the same casual clothes a teenager would wear -- sneakers, torn jeans, graphic tees.

Great tips. It's really difficult to combine neon and achieve that look. Thanks for sharing this. I hope you could post something about how to wear fashionably the uggs. I'm planning to buy uggs online.

first purchased the XXL thinking it would correlate with a normal women's size.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories .

We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...
