Whether you love or hate it, embrace or fear it; neon is back and swiftly taking over runways, streets and feeds. We all know that, while the wild acid colours synonymous with 80s are fun to sport, they can be equally as challenging to pull off.
Thankfully, there is plenty of inspiration to go around from local and international stars that will help you, your BFF and her mother make shocking shades something to look forward to right now. Give these four easy tricks a try.
Go sporty
Embrace the adrenaline of motocross-inspired attire with bike shorts, fitted turtlenecks and colour blocking trousers. Accessorise with tinted sports goggles, white dad sneakers and a miniature bag for a finished look.
