This summer, why not stand out at events with attention-stealing neon accents, a huge trend this season? Electric hues are a fun and unexpected alternative to the stuffy pastels that resurface every year. Throw on a neon accessory before you head out to liven up any outfit.

These stackable enamel bangles from J. Crew are a fun way to lend a new energy to your favorite maxi or sun dress without overdoing it.

The single lime stripe on this Clare Vivier pochette jolts an otherwise beige clutch to life.

This bold piece from Kohl’s is definitely not your standard strand of pearls. A chunky neon necklace is a fresh way to enliven and accessorize your favorite LBD.

Not for the faint of heart, these lime green Brian Atwood pumps are a surefire way to invigorate a jeans-and-t-shirt combo.

Here’s Khloe Kardashian rocking the neon trend, with a vibrant Proenza Schouler satchel that pops against her all black ensemble. While you’re at it check out her shoes! Does she pull it off? What do you think about bright accents?
