--- Neon at a Glance ---
Such bright colors are not only exclusive to females and feminine fashion. In fact, there are some males that even wear some neon- like neon active sneakers. The one criticism about neon is that some people feel such bright colors make some people look like a highlighter. Personally, I think neon is best done in moderation. It is great to have neon colors for color blocking. Don't wear too many neon-adorned pieces at once.--- Neon in Pictures ---
