In case you haven’t noticed, chokers are back in style in a big way – and no, this isn’t an old post from 1997. Chokers, AKA necklaces that sit snugly around your neck rather than resting against your collar bones or cleavage, are edgy, cool, and make a pretty big statement. Chokers were huge in the ’90s and early 2000s – think the wiry tattoo style or black velvet versions with a little charm – but like so many other ~classy~ accessories from that time, they fell off our radar for a while. I’m kind of glad they’re back, though! If you want to jump on this style revival, you don’t need to drop a lot of money – you can take an afternoon and make your own DIY choker.
Not convinced that these deserve a spot in your jewelry collection? Hear me out! Chokers add such a fun and edgy vibe to any outfit. I know this because my besties Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid wear them on the regular, and they always look good doing it. Trust, though, you don’t need to be a supermodel to pull this off. I’ve collected a whole bunch of choker necklace tutorials that you can try during your spare time. There are options with fun charms, lace chokers, multi-layered chokers… there’s basically something for everyone.
