Chokers: A Classic Style Makes a Comeback

If you’ve missed chokers since the 90’s, you’re in luck. They’ve made a big comeback since 2016, with many well-known celebrities sporting them at red carpet events and models flashing them on runways. Although chokers were last “in” during the 90’s, their bold fashion statement has been appeared throughout history, evoking a sense of romance of bygone eras and even ancient civilizations. Thanks to a diversity in the materials and styles available in chokers today, now is the time to indulge in this fun and powerful accessory.  

Chokers: A bold statement

Chokers, being worn so central in the neck area, are hard to miss and invariably make a bold statement. Today’s chokers accentuate  the popular trend of deep necklines. Chokers also mix well with other accessories because they won’t “get lost” among other adornments or clash with loud outfits. Stacking chokers is a newer trend that we’ve seen frequently on stars like Beyonce, perhaps most noticeably last year with her layers of shiny costume chokers in Formation.

A diverse accessory

Although chokers have a distinctive, unmistakable look, they have a broad appeal due to a diversity in design and material. The statements that chokers make vary widely, from a thin velvet ribbon to a leather band, from cloth weaves all the way to high-end metals and pieces studded with jewels. This gives them a broad range, from being paired with elegant evening dresses to leather jackets and everything in between. The extensive options available among chokers also make them attractive across price ranges and budgets, from under 10 dollars to several thousand.

Comfort matters

When considering choker styles, comfort and fit are key. Metal chokers may look elegant, but can be uncomfortable and cold on the skin. Lace chokers and other cloth can be itchy or abrasive. A good choker should either be adjustable or be fashioned from a soft or non-irritating material.
