Even if you gravitate towards mono chromatic colored clothing like black or white, it is always a good idea to have a little bit of color infused in your look. While you can do this with your accessories, I think it is better to add some colorful shoes to your outfit. While a standard bright color is great, why not try something a bit more daring and wear a pair of neon colored shoes. Neon is the perfect way to invigorate your wardrobe. Wearing neon footwear though is not only for when your palette is basic, you can wear these shoes even if your clothing is colorful or a pattern. Just be careful if your clothing is busy and that the neon shoes you choose complement , not compete with your clothing.
Miu Miu has a great pair of neon colored flats that come in both pink (pictured) and in yellow. These feminine ballet flats have a multi layer bow at the toe area. The bow has fine black stitched detailing giving the shoes a bit of an edge to them. These are fun and playful shoes that would look great with a casual outfit. I would stick to a solid skirt or short and a top that has some color to it. If you want to wear clothing that is neon try to find something that has a neon accent and is not too bright.
Also made by Miu Miu are some great high heel shoes that are predominantly black and have neon pink accents. The first shoes, the Two Tones Perforated Slingbacks, are a skinny neon color strapped slingback sandal with perforated detailing at the toes. Unlike most perforated shoes, the holes are not see through, rather there is some neon pink shining through. There is also a bit of pink at the back of the heel and at the front of the footbed. The other shoes, Tri Color Leather Strappy Sandals, are a black double strap sandal with neon pink, black, and white detailed patterning at the back of the shoe as well as the heel of the shoe. Adding to the detailing at the back of the shoe is an exposed gold zipper. You can either use the double straps to put on and remove the shoes or the back zipper. Both of these shoes are great to wear with a black or white dress because they will add a pop of color. The tri color shoes especially add a surprise detail since the color is only seen in the back and from the front it appears that you are just wearing a pair of double strap sandals. You also can pair these shoes colorful clothing if you prefer.

Though wearing neon may be a bit of a risk taking task for some, if you really want to take this look to a whole new level then you need to own the Jimmy Choo Neon Magnum Sandals. These shoes are almost 5″ high though there is a small platform at the front to make wearing such a high heel a bit easier and comfortable. An exposed back zipper makes it easy to get this shoe on and off. The detailing of the shoe is just as impressive if not more so than the actual shape and style of the sandal. Caged neon green mesh with is accent trimmed with snakeskin that is dyed to match the shade of neon green. There is also the same snakeskin on the footbed and back of the shoe. This shoe is appropriate for almost every occasion. You can wear it day or night whether a casual or formal event.
Neon is such a fun color and truly can make any outfit go to the next level of style and fashion. If you are a bit hesitant about these bright colors the easiest way to ease into this look is with an accessory like a sandal or a heel. The above shoes are all great choices and I hope the styling tips mentioned will help you realize that neon is not a scary color to wear.
