What is the Neon Mode trend?

Neon Mode: Vivid and vibrant looks always have a place in fashion, but recently, these hues are getting brighter and brighter as designers launch florescent versions of popular shades, ranging from pink and yellow to orange and green. Full-on neon fashions appeal to braver style mavens, but in moderation, neon hues offer more low-key fashion consumers a way to stylishly stand out -- not to mention, instantly boost their moods.
