Neon colours were all over the SS12 catwalks, and featured either as full and slightly headache inducing outfits or on accessories, which were undoubtedly a lot easier on the eye!

Although neon colours are commonly associated with the 80's and it’s rather garish fashion trends (yes puffy jackets i'm talking about you!), 2012 has seen a more wearable take on the trend with cute satchels. skinny jeans and neon florals.

It's a fun trend and not one for the faint hearted. However that's not to say that those of you who are less daring with their choice of trends can't indulge in a bit of neon.

For example if you’re unsure of the trend try a neon belt or neon nail varnish, whereas those of you that are more confident can be quite full on with a pair of neon jeans or a jumper.

For the record, as much as I love the neon trend its important to stress the fact that you should never wear one of those hideous neon tutu’s for anything other than a fancy dress party.
