Non-neon brights

Neon is everywhere nowadays, but unless it's something you love longtime, it is going to feel dated, fast.
To get the same effect--a jolt of shiny, happy color--try pairing a couple of intense brights instead.  The result is much more timeless, but still daring and fun.

The key?  Temper it with a whole lot of white.
