[Neon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-collection-2) is a company based out of England that crafts [made-to-order wetsuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-suits) by hand. The suits are ideal for wear during the late summer and provide just the right amount of protection against the elements, although the suits are not equipped to handle extremely frigid water temperatures in the winter months.

Neon's founder Elsie Pinniger describes that the company got its start after she crafted a wetsuit for herself. In contrast to the many [designs for women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle) on the market that are embellished with loud flowers, these wetsuit designs are bold, simple and geometric. From there, Pinniger established 15 original designs that could be customized by color. With a visit to Neon's website, you can even whip up a custom suit of your own.
