On The Edge: Neutrals With a Touch of Neon
They say there's always a silver lining, but after checking out all the new spring offerings cropping up on web-shops, we'd rather the lining be neon instead. Light-colored neutrals in linens, canvases, and straw fibers have always been a spring trend, but this year, they've been trimmed in shocking pinks, yellows, greens, and blues. If you want to buy into the neon trend without looking like a traffic cone, this is one way to subtly get the look. Ahead, our favorite neutral buys with a colorful edge!
