I’ll let you in on a little secret. I log onto Net-a-Porter every single day that I’m at theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing office for a dose of fashion inspiration. Not only does the retailer have an amazing section of new arrivals and a curated collection of up-and-coming designers scouted for its “vanguard” that I’m constantly checking out, but they also have incredible styling ideas that never fail to inspire me. For this reason, I find myself scrolling through Net-a-Porter on the regular.

In particular, I’ll go to Net-a-Porter to get ideas for how to style particularly challenging trends. For example, neon—undoubtedly one of the biggest trends of the moment. I watched the bold colors come down runway after runway this fashion month but still questioned if it was right for my personal wardrobe and how I would actually pull it off IRL. But, after seeing an electric green turtleneck layered under an oversize T-shirt with jeans over on Net-a-Porter, I began to see how I could actually pull it off.

Ahead, I’m breaking down more of the cool fashion styling ideas I’ve picked up from Net-a-Porter and will be testing out for myself for the season ahead.

1. Style your belt bag different ways.

First, secure it over your natural waist and slightly to one side.

Another way to wear it? Across your body, slung over one shoulder.

2. Double up on the Western pieces.

Cowboy boots are everywhere right now, but instead of stopping there, add a fringe suede jacket to your look to really lean into the trend.

3. Try an elevated take on athleisure.

4. Wear your bike shorts with a belted blazer.

Bike shorts have been getting more and more popular and show no signs of slowing down as a trend. If you're planning on wearing them outside of the gym, add a belted blazer on top.

5. Layer a neon turtleneck under a T-shirt.

Here's a way to experiment with color in a measured way. I personally think it's a great method for testing out the neon trend this fall.
