Wear This: The Choker

I’m all choked up about it.

HA! Get it? Choked up? I’m talking about the choker. I remember wearing a brass one believe it or not in high school with a rayon pink blouse and a white mini skirt. It was one of my favorite outfits. Some things never change right? {wink!}

This isn’t my first preach on the choker. I’ve actually been a fan of them since last year but they’re really making their way on the forefront in a major way this season. I shared some I loved HERE, remember?

So LAST year if you didn’t get one, get one THIS year.

What is so great about the choker? Well, for one, it really accentuates your shoulders and neck and flatters that whole upper section of your body. Your neckline area is a sensual place and it’s feminine. It enhances every woman believe it or not, no matter what shape your body is because your eyes are drawn there versus the hips or any other area. I’m so happy this trend has carried over from last year and made it’s comeback from the 80’s because I loved it then and I love it just as much now.

How to wear them? First, any cold shoulder, off the shoulder, or even a one shoulder top is perfect for this type of necklace. It highlights those beautiful collar bones and elongates your neck. Have a v-neck top? This goes as well. Really just play with it and see how it goes with the neckline of the top you’re wearing.

So, as I always love to do, I decided to be your personal shopper today and pull a few for you. I’ve chosen some that are very versatile, nothing over the top fancy, and in styles that can be worn with jeans to a party dress. Which is your favorite?
