ACCESSORIES FILE: CHOKERS

One trending fall accessory has us our attention in a choke hold: the return of the choker necklace. Fall 2011 collections including Michael Kors, Max Azria, Vena Cava, Emilio Pucci and Emanuel Ungaro turned attention to metal sculpted collars and leather and velvet bands secured at the neck.

In the past chokers had the tendency to skew toward the 'goth', but they've been reworked utilizing durable hardwares and luxe materials for a look that's completely modern. Chokers work well with open necklines and a subtle show of skin, so they're a fantastic pairing with blazers and jackets. Embrace the asphyxiation accessory and shop some of our favorite chokers currently on the market!
