'80s-Inspired Neon Accessories To Brighten Up Your Summer Wardrobe

by Erin Cunningham

All fashion is rooted in nostalgia. Trends are cyclical, styles are constantly reinvented, and pieces we once thought were so last year suddenly pop back into our wardrobes. While some revivals might make us cringe, others leave us feeling excited to get dressed — especially when they’re bigger, brighter, and better than ever before.

Swatch is bringing back six iconic watches from the ‘80s and ‘90s for modern-day with new bold designs that feature vibrant hues and unique details. Capturing the fearless spirit of decades past, the pieces in the Swatch NEON collection are playful and provocative; oversized faces take center stage alongside bio-sourced materials and color combinations that feel at once clashing and coordinated. The offering will be immediately recognized — and appreciated — by Swatch fanatics for its nods to the original styles, but it’s also exciting and new enough for those who don’t have a go-to watch just yet. Sporty but edgy, and definitely not subtle: These are summer style objectified, perfect for wearing with bathing suits, tanks and shorts, and dresses alike.

Embrace the past while looking ahead to the future with Swatch NEON’s six bold watches. Choose from styles with glow-in-the-dark hands, printed faces, or transparent straps for an accessory you won’t want to take off all season long.
