If I had to name one major trend of Summer 2012 it would be neon. Personally I've never been a fan of the 80's neon look but it's hard not to fall in love with all of the interesting modern day variations of the trend. If neon has won you over as it did me then I recommend picking up a few essentials like a bag, shoes, bikini and shorts. As always with any trend you have to be able to put the look together in a cohesive way. Since neon is such a bright color I recommend pairing it with something dark. For example if you're going to be sporting a neon bag then make sure to wear a darker outfit. The key to wearing neon is to let it be the center of attention without having a competing color steal its spotlight.
