Like all good 90’s trends, they always come back and go mainstream and currently chokers are the mainstream trend. Among the styles of chokers which vary from bold to lace to leather, velvet, dainty and architectural metal, so many people seem to be loving the choker trend right now and I for one am infatuated by it.

Chokers can do a lot for outfits, they either give you a girly, feminine touch or simply a chic look to complete a simple outfit or add boldness. I for one love to wear chokers with majority of my outfits lately when I feel as though my neck looks too bare or I want to instantly transform an outfit. Many celebrities have joined in with the trend too from Rihanna, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Gigi and Bella Hadid and the Kardashian / Jenner sisters. Chokers have joined the street style looks during fashion week and chokers also made an appearance during the Fall / Winter 2016 runway for many designers including, Stella McCartney, Alexander Wang, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, H&M and so many more.
