How To Wear Neon Without Looking Like a Teen

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.

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.

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.
