Neat Neroli – Typographic Streetwear
Neat Neroli Studio began with a simple frustration: I couldn’t find a white t-shirt with a red typographic print to match my lipstick, so I designed one myself. That became Rouge Rendezvous, the first piece in what would grow into a personal design project.
The name reflects both sides of the idea: “Neat” for the clean, intentional look of the prints. “Neroli” for the mood – like a subtle scent you carry with you.
There are plenty of great prints out there. But what really inspired me were the bad ones: messy designs, awful typography, weird color choices. Even from big brands! I kept thinking: “If I designed this myself, what would I do differently?” Neat Neroli Studio is exactly that: me designing it myself.
I’ve always been drawn to typography, the shape of letters, the rhythm of layout, the beauty of blank space. With Neat Neroli, I turn that fascination into wearable design. Because well-crafted typography is, in my opinion, an art. For me, it became something real when Neat Neroli was featured in an editorial photoshoot in collaboration with Voss Models.

Rouge Rendezvous embodies the energy of a bold red lip: fearless, unapologetic, and full of life. It’s the feeling of standing out and owning every moment. The mirrored print on the front reads "come what may", a subtle but powerful reminder, perfectly visible when you look in the mirror, to face whatever comes your way.
Out of the Blue takes inspiration from glow and brightness, bringing a sense of calm and quiet confidence. It serves as a gentle reminder to rise above challenges. Like light breaking through the clouds, it inspires clarity and strength.
Midnight Monochrome draws inspiration from the effortless precision of pitch-black eyeliner. With a striking black base and white typography, it embodies timeless elegance and minimalist sophistication. Effortless and iconic, this piece makes a statement through simplicity.
The First Light is inspired by the very first signs of spring. When the world is still grey and quiet, but the light begins to shift. A subtle change you can feel before you see it, a soft promise of brighter days ahead.
F*lower Around is a celebration of summer in full bloom, vibrant, joyful, alive. In a world that so often feels cold and unkind, we choose to flower around and find out. To give flowers instead of hate: Kindness in bloom.
Midnight Garden captures the last phase of summer. When the nights grow darker, but the air is still warm. Late adventures under city lights, chasing the final golden moments of the season: Make a night of it. Hold on to the joy just a little longer.

In Bloom, Neat Neroli’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, follows the quiet poetry of a Swedish summer: Unfolding gently from soft early light, through midsummer’s vibrant bloom, to the magic of late summer nights. Paired with fitting typography and delicate glass flowers, as beautiful and fragile as summer itself, each print captures the fleeting beauty of the season.
