Chokers are a type of necklace that fits closely around the neck. This piece of jewellery has been a popular fashion accessory for centuries. They come in tons of different styles, and you can wear them (almost) anywhere.  

Whether you’re going for a ‘90s inspired choker to wear every day or going full glam for a special occasion, here’s everything you need to know. 

The symbolism and empowerment 

Chokers have often been associated with notions of power, rebellion and sensuality. They have a rich history and a deep symbolism that spans different cultures and timelines. From ancient civilisations to the here and now, chokers have always been in style. 

In more recent history, chokers were associated with subcultures like punk and goth. Right now, they’re back and being worn by absolutely everyone. Wearing a choker is a statement. 

Types of chokers 

In recent years, chokers have made yet another comeback. Today’s trends embrace plenty of different choker styles, from minimalist to extravagant, meaning there's a choker for every taste and occasion. 

Let’s look at some of the choker styles that are trending right now. 

Minimalist chokers 

For those who prefer something more subtle, minimalist chokers are perfect for the clean, everyday style. These chokers often feature small pendants or charms and are often thinner and simple rather than being overly extravagant.  

Statement chokers 

On the other end of the spectrum, statement chokers are bold and eye-catching. These pieces often feature intricate designs, plenty of gems and thicker styles that are made to be noticed 

Layered chokers

Layering chokers with other necklaces is popular, adding depth and texture to the neckline. This lets you be creative and get more out of your jewellery, combining different lengths, materials and styles to create a personalised look.
