Hasta La Ideas

With 80s and 90s-inspired neon colors making comebacks all over the fashion spectrum, what youthful trend of yore would be more fun to welcome back than those funky florescent watches? I don’t know about you, but back in elementary school I used to rock one of those faddish Baby-G watches every day like it was a diamond-crusted Rolex… and now even Lady Gaga has added her own neon yellow one as a staple to her very “fashion-forward” characteristic look in her latest music videos. Similar plastic and jelly-banded bright digitals (and analogs too) are popping up in both casual and high-end accessory lines, from sporty brands like Nixon and Adidas to designers like Michael Kors, and are appearing to be a hot color-popping trend for summer. Despite their silly hues and casual appearance, some are still pretty fancy and may be a bit on the pricey side if you’re just looking to try out the bold look for a fun occasion or two, but others are both affordable and durable enough to take along to the beach and maybe even swim in! Check out the slideshow for some examples of the season’s most vibrant watches!
