Trend Alert: The Choker Necklace

Hey my beautiful ladies! In case you haven’t heard, the ’90s are back. Along with platform sneakers, spaghetti straps, and halter necks, chokers also are coming back into fashion. But chokers have grown up since their inaugural ‘90s teenage days, and now they are sleeker and sexier than ever before.
It seems like all the “it” girls like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid and bloggers around the world are rocking this season’s hottest necklace, and for good reason—this trend works on just about anyone. Well, as long as your neck’s length allows it.
If nature didn’t grant you a long neck with enough space between the chin and the shoulders, then, choker is not the accessory for you. Depending on your outfit this necklace can either be a delicate add-on or an edgy statement piece. And while classic black choker seems to be the most popular, I’ve seen some pretty cool chokers made out of materials like suede, leather, velvet and precious metals.  Whether you want to channel the ’90s, ’60s flower power, or Victorian looks, there’s pretty much a choker for every occasion.Want to jump on the whole choker trend that’s happening without dropping a lot of money? With this amazing step by step tutorial for how to make your own choker, you’ll be cranking out homemade one in no time. Maybe you can even start a side business when you get good at it. 🙂

Trend Alert: The Choker Necklace

Here are the best ways to wear a choker necklace this season.

Opt for a black choker


Like I already said, the easiest and most simple way to wear this trend is by opting for a black choker that will match any outfit, casual or more dressy.

Wrap it a few times

For a feminine and fashion-forward look, wrap super thin suede or velvet around your neck a few times and tie it off with a bow, creating a bolo tie.

Use sparkles

There are a ton of chokers with jewels either lining the collar or just one in the center that are worth wearing. Just make sure to keep the rest of your outfit minimal to keep your ensemble looking sophisticated.

Layer your choker with other jewelry

Wearing a choker with a longer necklace is always an option — some are even sold this way. For example, pair a black choker with a long gold chain for a sleek look.
