The detail
Christopher Kane gave neons the cool factor by basing his whole collection around them – the look and palette summed up as “Princess Margaret on acid” (right) – and the up-and-coming designer Holly Fulton has also used them to great effect. If the thought of head- to-toe neon is a bit overwhelming, try Jil Sander’s Market leather bag (£580; jilsander.com), and H&M has some eye-catching stripe bags, from £14, too (hm.com).
