The choker is a funny fashion bit. Done one way and it’s very Jennifer Lawrence in American Hustle; done another and it’s more Princess Diana circa 1990. So is it a ‘70s thing or a ‘90s thing? Maybe it’s just a thing that comes and goes with rising hemlines and dipping cleavage.
Whatever the case may be right now in fashion, it’s ripe for the choker. In casual designs it’s very boho-chic with something resting at the base of the throat or just a bit higher. For more elaborate styles it’s very glamorous with sparkle nestling the collarbone.
Here’s a collection of 15 chokers and collars that give a fashion flashback.
