Neon was a hugely emphasised trend of the late 1980s. It was interpreted into everyday clothing, fitness wear and plastic accessories. With its go-good groovy feel and easy move material it was definitely for everyone, whether that being man or woman. Neon in the 80s was worn fairly plain as an overall colour as you see in the above. In modern day neon is involved in a different way mainly in prints and patterns, this way it is more calm and sets a less outgoing aesthetic.
All trends of the time revolved around those florescent day-glow colours. Retro became popular purely because the colours used in its style, along with many others.
Jane Fonda; a massive fitness star of the time helped contribute to the popularity of the neon trend, as she was commonly seen wearing it in her fitness videos.
