It’s a dream come true for all ’90’s babies everywhere; chokers are back and BETTER than ever!

Taking a style tip from Bad Gal RiRi is never a bad idea. And if she’s following the choker trend, we can bet that it’ll be here to stay for some time to come. When you’re starting off your choker collection, your best bet is a classic thin leather option (a cute charm like Riri’s cross is a great plus). Mix your choker with some of your favorite layered bling to add real swag to your look.
2. Pair a thick choker with an off the shoulder top
Fashion model Kendall Jenner has been riding strong with the choker trend from the very start. She’s spotted hear wearing another trendy variation of the choker trend – a thick fabric band – that elongates the neck and adds a casual sophistication to a sleek look. These chokers are best paired with an off the shoulder top. Get matchy by making sure your top matches the color of your choker or mix it up to add some edge.
3. Make a statement with a chandelier choker
Follow Karrueche’s lead and take the choker trend into the night time. A chandelier choker featuring dangling metals and stones is the perfect way to glitz up your look. The lace details on this number also make it super chic. With this choker, the rest of your accessories can be minimal since this piece is sure to steal the show.
4. Layer your chokers up
Why wear one can more is always better? Pair a tie-up choker with a thicker, statement choker to show the world how daring of a fashionista you are. Top the look off with another layered piece and a slip dress, and you’re ready for an unpredictable night on the town, just like this chic fashion maven Gigi Hadid.
