Are chokers still in style?

Chokers are back for Spring 2020. I'm not talking about the fine delicate stackable chokers of a few seasons ago which continue to be worn layering staples. They also translate into choker length necklaces that are strong in shape but flexible with multiple dangles accenting the entire piece.

Where is a choker worn?

A choker is a close-fitting necklace worn around the neck. Chokers can be made of a variety of materials, including velvet, plastic, beads, latex, leather, metal, such as silver, gold or platinum, etc. They can be adorned in a variety of ways, including with sequins, studs, or a pendant.

What era are chokers from?

The 19th century fashion for broad chokers reached its peak around 1900 in part due to Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom wearing one to hide a small scar. Chokers were popular into the 1920s and again in the '40s as colliers de chien.

How do you wear a choker with a short neck?

Yes, even women with full faces and short necks can wear chokers. Simply choose a style that's flattering, such as a bib of multiple strands with a shorter piece that sits near the collarbone and longer chains or a drop that will visually lengthen the neck. One tip: Avoid heavy choker necklaces that add bulk.
