This season's neon shoes from London shoe designer Tracey Neuls’ TN 29 collection have got even me considering adding a dash of color to my wardrobe.
From personal experience, architects tend not to be sartorially adventurous; aspiring instead to an understated elegance built up from muted tones, impeccable tailoring, and subtle details. Like most trends, the fact that the world is currently awash in neon would normally pass me by as I resolutely cling to my classics. Walking by the Tracey Neuls Shop in Marylebone the other day, though, I couldn’t help but notice a pair of her signature neon red shoes, which rather predictably, I now covet. For more information, go to Tracey Neuls.
