Choker tops are here to stay

A choker-style top is an outfit that incorporates a choker in it, thereby saving your time, effort and expenditure on unnecessary accessories.

It’s new on the scene and very much a ‘she’s-gotta-have-it’ item. I know exactly what you’re thinking — well, the choker top isn’t a fashion jewellery accessory!
The choker top actually does double duty. And what I love most about this product will probably be the draw for you as well. It’s a women’s top that moonlights as a necklace.

One of this season’s must-haves is a chic high-neck piece. This style has taken over all areas of styles — taking knitwear to a cosy new level with chunky roll necks and giving dresses a lease of life with a high neckline accentuating your figure to the maximum.

Teamed together with a bold colour, texture, luxurious fabric or a floral print, a choker-neck style can look super feminine and sexy. For a casual look, the basic high-neck jersey beauties in neutral colours can build up your wardrobe staples and last through the seasons. From block coloured bodycon dresses to a 90s’ long sleeved ribbed jersey, any high neck can make you look striking instantly.

Celebrities have also been seen taking the new fashion accessory plunge. It’s been referred to as the ‘It’ shirt with sightings on a number of celebrities like songstress Rita Ora, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Solange Knowles and Emily Ratajkowski, just to name a few who have managed to hit the fashion accessory choker top trend right on the bullseye.

So what should one wear with the choker top? Simply put, well, almost anything that you’d like to — jeans, shorts, or a skirt would be some of my top selections. Whether it’s a wide black velvet affair, a thin satin ribbon style neck choker or a luxurious golden choker, they are everywhere. So go grab your choker-neck tops and ease into the current trend.
