Chokers are back in fashion? Who would’ve thunk it. Once relegated to the bottom of our jewellery boxes, it’s time to resurrect our favourite high-school accessory. This time, it’s less goth, more luxe, with metallic styles popping up all over the catwalk and red carpet. So, instead of looking to Drew Barrymore and Winona Ryder circa 1995, look to it-girls Jess Hart and Taylor Tomasi Hill circa now …

Wearing a choker with a strapless top or plunging neckline adds a don’t-mess-with-me edge to your evening ensemble.

You can even wear chokers over your clothes. As seen on the street, chokers can be worn over turtlenecks and braids (see here).

If you’re feeling daring, try studs, or opt for an open-ended style a la Jess Hart and Jen Brill. See more choker goodness here.
