Black choker
Spectacular black chokers in the last few seasons are gradually gaining more and more popularity among young girls.
Features and reasons for popularity
A spectacular black choker emphasizes a thin female neck, making it more refined. Such accessories have gained popularity due to the attention of celebrities to them. But the history of this accessory is much longer.
History of decoration
Translated from English, the choker literally means "short choking jewelry." Such an accessory fits snugly around the female neck.
The first chokers appeared before our era. Then they were worn by the ancient Egyptians. Chokers at that time were made from simple faience beads. During the Renaissance, such accessories began to be made from precious materials, such as gold, decorated with rubies or pearls. Thick gold chokers, tight around the neck, looked very impressive and were used to decorate the outfits of rich ladies.
In the Victorian era, chokers were back in fashion. They were popularized by the Princess of Wales. She wore such accessories in order to hide the scar she acquired as a child. It was located right on the neck and she covered it with an elegant strip of fabric. It was at this time that the first openwork chokers appeared, which tightly fitted the neck and reached almost to the chin.
In the twentieth century, chokers were brought back into fashion by film stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Marlene Dietrich and Sophia Loren. They wore chokers decorated with jewels, combining such accessories with luxurious evening dresses.
Fashion varieties
Today, chokers are again very popular. Therefore, there are quite a few different variations of this simple accessory.
with stone
Black chokers look spectacular, complemented by a voluminous stone. Often, pearls, sapphires or rubies are used to decorate such chokers. A more affordable option is chokers, complemented by artificial stones.
Velvet neck decoration
A choker made of velvet or suede also looks luxurious. The popularity of such accessories was brought by ballerinas who wore them in order to emphasize a thin, refined neck.
Beaded choker
Beaded chokers are popular among young girls. Such jewelry looks original also due to unique patterns.
Choker tattoo
Since the nineties of the last century, tattoo chokers have also been popular. Such an accessory fits snugly around the neck and really resembles a tattoo.
Lacy
A black guipure or lace choker will look elegant on a thin girlish neck. Such an accessory can be worn with different things, but it is advisable not to combine it with lace dresses and sweaters. The combination of two monotonous things in one image will look boring and monotonous.
What to wear
Black choker can be worn with different things. It is desirable that it is complemented by suitable accessories. Then the image will definitely be attractive.
Stylists advise combining black chokers with the same accessories, but colored or made from other materials. A choker and a long chain or lace with a pendant will also complement well.
Earrings for such jewelry should be chosen neat and extremely simple. The best option is neat carnations or long earrings with a small pendant. Wide bracelets on the wrists will also be a good addition to the choker.
When it comes to clothing, chokers go equally well with evening dresses and simple tops with jeans. If the accessory is made of velvet or complemented with precious stones, then it is ideal for an evening out. But in everyday life, you can get by with a simpler accessory.
