"As a lover of beauty and elegance, I have trouble understanding the need for Crocs or mutant shoes of this kind. I wouldn't be caught dead in these!" — Louise Ebel
Several of the women also called out neon colours as something they'd never wear, which we found especially interesting this season, as it's one of the trends within the '80s theme that's coming back in a big way for spring.
Sarah Nait said, "I don't wear neons except for accessories. I am not a big fan of bold colours—you'll get bored of them pretty quickly," while Adeline Rapon said, simply, "Not for me." Louise Ebel was more specific about her aversion to neon hues, saying, "For many, many reasons. First, they make my eyes bleed. Second, they are related to two decades I kinda don't like: the '80s and '90s. And third, they are related to (and it's even worse) sportswear. And that is enough to make me run away from it!"
Lastly, two of the French style stars chalked it up to their love of neutrals. Anne-Laure Mais remarked, "I love neutral and natural colours. Neon is not something natural, and it hurts eyes!" And Tokyobanhbao agreed, saying, "The more I get older, the more I love temporal colours like beige, black, grey or navy. Neon doesn't suit me anymore."
