ABOUT now, you'll be seeing lots of neons and bright colours everywhere.

Bright colours are the trend this year.

At Levis, you can find affordable brights at good prices. This season, it came up with a series of brightly coloured jeans and T-shirts. Prices start from $43.90.

Now bear in mind - the neon trend is unlikely to last past the year, so don't blow all your money on bright clothes.

Buy a few key pieces and work it to death.

And don't go all neon either because, frankly, that would be freaky.

Team a bright T-shirt with a neutral bottom to make the top pop.

Or grab a pair of bright jeans and pair that with a plain top.

Wear it with attitude and sexy heels.

The younger you are, the brighter you can get.

But do note that neon green and yellow may be difficult for Asian skin tones. You might end up looking sickly.

Find a shade that works for you.

If you feel like your skin is glowing and healthy, that's the shade for you.
