How Did The Neon Trend Begin?
Fashion evolves through generations and trends make a comeback all the time! One such trend that the world of fashion witnessed was that of the ‘Neon’ colour. In the 70’s, the colour palette saw more subdued or subtle shades when it came to clothing. Pastels, nudes, softer hues were huge back then.
Then came the 80’s! 80’s saw fashion in a new light because of the advancement in technologies when it came to dyeing fabrics. This gave birth to experimental fashion and hence came the love for the glowing neon colour.
The Decade of Neon
Neon was such a rage that it gave the 80’s the title of ‘the neon decade’. Ultra bright and pop colours were the flavour of the season. Elite socialites like Paris Hilton claimed to have started the trend as per Vogue Australia, but there is no proof to back that up. So the question still remains, why the colour neon ?
Why Neon?
Unlike other loud colours, neon has a more ‘glowing’ effect and is pleasant to the eye. With neon, you don’t have to try extra hard to stand out. You can just about wear anything in neon and it will automatically catch one’s attention.
