As the warm weather approaches, so do the brightest of colours. When you're feeling bolder than a pastel hue, turn to the brights and neon trend. As seen among the catwalks of Proenza Schouler, Erdem and Oscar de la Renta, those sitting on the Frows were reaching into their bags for a pair of shades.
For the brightest effects, team a bright or neon colour with white. However, if you want to inject the trend into your looks but feel the colours are a little too “out there”, start by using a neon nail polish or wear a bright accessory.
Below are a few of the examples I've picked which are already available to purchase. My favourite has got to be the electric blue jumper by Topshop. Not only will it keep you warm while we're waiting for Spring to arrive, it also touches upon the cropped clothing trend of SS13 also seen on the runways.

Another star ahead of her time is Jessica Biel. Back when neon brights was just emerging as a new “watch out” trend in SS11, Jessica was donning these Pigalle pink pumps by Christian Louboutin as she walked the red carpet in London for the “Total Recall” premiere in August 2012.
She was already potentially (possibly unknowingly) forecasting the SS13 trend and doing it justice by teaming her bright pink court shoes with the gorgeous white Giambattista Valli Couture. Unfortunately the pink colour-way of this Pigalle shoe was from the Christian Louboutin's Spring 2012 collection, so they are no longer available to purchase.
