You might have noticed something recently in your social media feeds: chokers, the love of the mid-nineties, are back! This is thanks in part to so many runway models sporting them for the last few seasons, as well as celebrities who are heavy into chokers like Jaime King, Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salade, model Elsa Hosk, Rihanna and of course Gigi and Kendall rocking all sorts of variations on the Victorian trend.
Super Casual
Do like model Joan Small here and take it super casual for running errands, school picks ups, class and the like. While she can pull off maroon leggings, we paired them with more realistic black legging jeans. A little charm on the choker gives it just the right amount of attitude, as do wedge sneakers.

Work Look
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, recently engaged, takes the simplest piece of gold and makes it a stand-out piece against very simple basics. We've jazzed it up a bit for work with a navy on navy look including a boucle jacket for coverage.

Girls Night
The saying that girls dress for other girls could not be more true when we all go out together. Feel free to go super fashion-forward like blogger Nicole Warner with a dress over pants. But our favorite part is that she's simply accessorized it with a black ribbon as a choker. If you want to be like all the cool "Hollywood It Girls" -- Khloe, Jaime, Chrissy, hair stylist Jen Atkin -- splurge on this Fallon wrap choker. They all have at least one, and they wear them religiously.

Brunch Look
Too tired to make an effort? No worries. A simple shirt dress and over the knee boots get a burst of chic with a gold collar choker like Leandra Medine is sporting here. At a bare minimum, that's only three pieces of clothing you have to put on during a lazy Sunday brunch outing. Works for us!
