Attention-grabbing, statement-making, and the star of any show. (No, we’re not talking about ourselves—though we totally could be.) Even the most casual plus-size neon dresses do it all. Their bright hues put the wearer in the sartorial center ring and offer a guaranteed way to stand out. And what could be hotter than that?
Often, we need bold prints and maximalist accessories in order to pack a punch. Neon dresses, on the other hand, give us the same result with far less effort. Not that we’d ever give up our animal prints, polka dots, and florals, but there’s just something so easy and fun about throwing on a neon dress and instantly making a statement. Bright green, pink, yellow, or blue—each and every one of these colors turns an ordinary dress into something worthy of Instagram.
And thankfully, there are so many ways to style these frocks. If you’re feeling especially bold, opt for a neon dress paired with matching accessories. A neon bucket hat, socks, or bag adds an additional layer of attention-grabbing detail. (We love that for us.) Of course, you always have the option to tone down your plus-size neon dresses. Add a few neutral accessories—like a straw hat or classic white sneakers—and let the neon serve as the centerpiece of your ensemble. Don’t be afraid to wear your neon dress as you would any other warm-weather frock. Go over-the-top or keep it simple. You can’t lose either way.
So do yourself a favor and stock your closet full of plus-size neon dresses this season. Mini or maxi, bodycon or fit-and-flare, sleeveless or long-sleeved—all neon dresses are good neon dresses.
