For anyone who’s holding back on getting down with the neon trend, this might be the perfect way to slip in there gently. Wear neon ankle socks under black sandals, flash an inch or so between jeans and brogues, or just wear them under boots so at least you know that you’re bang on trend. Who cares whether anyone else can see?

Take the neon trend to a classy level and treat yourself at the same time with this gorgeous keyhole silk top in neon yellow from Vera Moda. This will look fantastic with simple skinny jeans and peep toe boots, or equally as chic worn tucked into a high waist pencil skirt with kitten heels. The key to wearing silk well is underwear that fits perfectly – go for a non-padded bra with this one top, like a Gossard glossy.
