Yes, You Can Pull Off the Neon Trend This Fall

by Dale Chong

Whether you protested its return earlier this summer or you embraced it with open arms, neon has become a full-on color trend for the fall, and you might be surprised when you start seeing it everywhere. During the time of year where everyone swaps out their summer hues for deeper jewel tones and neutrals with the change in seasons, garishly bright neon outfits are a refreshing and welcomed contrast.

If you haven’t touched the neon color palette since you were drawing with a Laser Lemon Crayola marker circa 1994, we get it—wearing blinding colors as an adult can be intimidating… But it can be done. To prove our point, we pulled together the coolest ensembles featuring neon that are perfect for fall. Whether you just want to add a touch of fuchsia or are ready to go head-to-toe, we guarantee there’s a neon outfit for you. Check them out below.
