Standing out is a prerequisite in society nowadays and with so many people with that same mentality it can be hard, but it won’t be so hard when you are wearing a pair of glowing neon shades.

From the [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-app) strore Sick Shades, these glowing shades are perfect for grabbing anyone’s attention. The neon shades feature the brightest glow wires in the market. The glow wire stretches out to the entire frame of the shades, unlike the ones you’ll normally see at rave parties. The shades are powered through a battery pack connected to the shades by a wire. It has four button controls: off, constant on, slow flicker, fast flicker.

The glowing neon shades are perfect for those crazy nights at [Coachella](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-x-coachella-experience-2-earplugs) or for regular club partying.
