Chic Disaster!

Imagine yourself walking down the street, and you walk by a store that has the well lit ‘open’ sign shining bright for the world to see.  But then all the sudden you turn your head in the other direction, and you see somebody wearing those exact same colors of the sign.  What would being going on in your mind?   Well, now so many different people are wearing those bright colors and are bedazzling their clothes to spice up their sense of style.  The bright colors remind us of the light up signs, and those colors are not to be worn like they are being worn right now.  There are many different ways to spice up your style, but it should be done correctly.

In magazines and on runways, you see all the different kinds and types of outfits that all the different models wear, but do you really see everyday kind of people wearing those outfits?  First off, when models wear these neon colors they just ‘model’ the clothes for people to see what they look like.  They usually wear the latest fashion trends.  People tend to see what they are wearing, and then they go out and buy the clothes they like.  Second, the neon colored articles of clothing are sometimes too expensive, and/or are too revealing for some people to wear, mostly because they are usually worn by the runway models.

Some say that the uses of neon colors are a sign of happiness.  Now that economic problems are going on a lot during these times, we all need something to bring our spirits up.  Different people think that wearing neon colors is the solution to that problem.  It might be the answer for some people, but also, a lot think completely otherwise.  Clubs and runways, like I mentioned earlier, have lately been using the bright neon color scene.  Neon colors, in my opinion, remind me of the disco era... because the use of the hair styles that goes along with the bright colors.

Neon colors seem to have a tendency sometimes to hurt your eyes when you directly look at them, or they draw your attention drastically away from something important to your attention.  For example, when you’re trying to focus on some sort of thing that is important to focus all of your attention on, these colors seems to stand out and you tend to turn your head and glance or look hard at them.  So you didn’t have any focus on that something that needed all your attention. Your attention has been drawn away and is now on the bright colors.

There are only certain ways to wear the colors, and not many people can pull it off.  Keeping the bright colors to a minimum is a good thing, and if wearing a bright top, wear some neutral pants to go along with it.  The so called ‘smart and sexy look’ that you get when wearing the bright colors, can be changed in seconds when not worn right and be made to be called the ‘dumb and ugly’ look.
