Haute Topic: Fashionable Neon Brights
March 3, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · 2 Comments
The neon craze of the eighties returns in a not-so-tacky way. Back then, colorful brights were worn in excess - layers upon layers of fluorescent clothes were accessorized by totally tacky accessories - jelly sandals and jewelry, charm bracelets, vented sunglasses and biker shorts. Today’s neon is tastefully tried. Shop these haute pieces to add a fresh take on the trend revisited.
