From hot pink to shocking chartreuse, here's how to add spring's freshest runway hues to your wardrobe, whether with a full-on bright look or a bold accessory.
#1: Hot Pink
Instead of an LBD for your next outing, try out an LPD — a little pink dress screams "spring," especially in a bold sorbet shade.

#2: Hot Pink
Hot pink doesn't only complement neutrals. Mix the bright hue with other equally-bold colors like orange, green and indigo. The trick to avoid looking clownish is all about the silhouettes — keep them straight and narrow all the way.

#3: Hot Pink
Not ready for a complete pink commitment? Try it on your lips first. We recommend an ultra-bright hue, like MAC Show Orchid.
#4: Bright Blue
This season's bright whites and creamy nudes are just asking for a pop of color on your arm. An eye-catching tote in an shocking shade of blue is a chic answer.

#8: Chartreuse
Take on the season's maddest shade in a dainty silhouette. A skirt suit or slip dress adds a soft touch to the over-the-top color.

#9: Chartreuse
Hesitant to invest in head-to-toe neon? Try easing into the trend with fluorescent accessories like a belt or clutch — they flawlessly complement khaki.

Ace the balletic look with a pleated white dress. The midi hemline looks demure with classic flats.

Try wearing the shade head-to-toe. Slouchy separates in a monochromatic palette feel louche and not the least bit contrived.

A classic trench makes for everlasting style.
