Neons
Above are examples right off the runway of neon done right. One neon piece looks great when paired with an all black outfit. The one, or two, neon pieces really stand out and make the overall look very unique and sophisticated and gives a special effect.
Lindsay Lohan's neon maxi-dress on the left is an example of neon gone wrong. The colors are not appropriate for the length of the dress. Maxi-dresses should be simple because they speak for themselves. On the right is Aubrey O'Day, formerly of Danity Kane. The shape of the dress is flattering and stylish but the various neon colors added to it take away from those aspects of it and bring the overall look down.
These are examples of pastels looking great. Sarah Jessica Parker looks beautiful in her pale green dress (weird hat aside). The color is very springish and matches her complexion perfectly. On the right is a model walking fiercely down the catwalk in a pale pinkish-rose dress paired with a whiteish-cream color cardigan. The softness of the individual colors compliment each other and create an overall subtle, yet stunning look.
I hate to make a mockery of this random woman, but she brought it upon herself when she stepped outside in this. Each piece is bold and would look fine paired with plain colors such as black or even white, but together it has too much going on. The semi-bright blue on top paired with the pastel pink cami, jeans, and shoes does not work well together.
In general, both trends are hot right now. When done right, they can both look great, but when done wrong, they can both look tasteless. When wearing neon, having one or two bright pieces against black creates a stunning effect. With pastels, pairing a colored pastel (e.g. blue, pink etc.) with lighter pastels such as cream or white makes for a great outfit. Wearing too much of either trend can end in disaster.
