For fashionistas who are looking for the perfect accessorizing finish this spring, try replacing your slender chains and dangling pendants for a statement-making oversized choker. As the temperatures rise and hemlines plunge, an eye-catching choker necklace can highlight your décolletage or accentuate an already flawless ensemble. This season, try taking your inspiration from the runways and sporting a rock and roll inspired choker everywhere from the office to the dance floor. Here are our favourite catwalk worthy ways to embrace this rising accessory trend now.

Casual Chic

Whether you’re sunning yourself on your front porch or visiting the farmers’ market on a Saturday afternoon, follow the leading example from the Anna Sui runway. Transform the traditional bulky choker into a wearable, lightweight floral piece, and pair your new neckpiece with retro inspired yellow sunglasses. For a perfect finishing touch, slip into a navy blue mesh frock layered over a printed swimsuit or bodysuit.

Work Wear

If you’re looking for a statement necklace which instantly screams “business”, take your sartorial cues from the patterned and elegantly bejewelled piece at Christian Dior. To tone down the dazzling accessory, style your embellished bold choker with a black boyfriend blazer and a sophisticated white leather satchel.

Evening

For a night out, the fierce choker finds its home on the Lanvin catwalk in the form of a flirty blue blossom on a wide ribbon. In order to truly dazzle as you hit the party scene, accessorize your floral necklace with shoulder-dusting earrings and a series of longer metallic necklaces. Meanwhile, a strappy sequined dress in peacock shades and snazzy printed pumps bring an edge to your sweet and girlish neck candy.
