Take out your darkest pair of shades because this thing might blind you. No, we’re not asking you stare at the sun but rather to look at the neon clothes of the 80s.

Neon clothes can shock the uninitiated. Why? Because they are so bright that it is nothing that the first timers have seen in their entire lives. Actually, they are bright enough to be seen even at night. Nothing can get brighter than them except for halogen lights, maybe.

They were the in thing during the 80s and they were not only popular in clothes like sweaters but also in other fashion accessories such as shoe laces, hats, neon jelly jewelries and even on guitars! Popular colors were neon green and hot pink as well as the brighter varieties of orange and yellow. There were also shades of bright violet and blue but they weren’t as popular as their brighter counterparts. And as if one piece of neon clothing wasn’t enough, people back then actually preferred to match them with other pieces of neon clothing and accessories.

Neon is trying to make a comeback in the mainstream fashion scene with the latest from Coogi, Durkl, Caliber and more. Now would be good to have a pair of Cazal shades in handy because really, they can blind you far worse than a laser pointer or by staring straight to the sun. The world is a much brighter world to live in again. =)
