This Trending Accessory Has Staying Power
In the ever-revolving door of accessory trends, it seems that certain special pieces have (exponentially) longer staying power than others. This is especially true for the subject of today’s story: the choker—more specifically, black leather, ribbon, or velvet iterations. To be honest, we expected the trend would be on the decline by now, but with each passing day, it seems to be only picking up steam. Not only are designers continuing to make them, but also, some of our favourite celebrities have recently introduced them into their day-to-day wardrobes, making the look more accessible than ever.
