14 Chokers That Make A Serious Statement

Embellishments, tassels, and chains, oh my!

by Jenna Igneri

It’s been a minute since our girl T. Swift dubbed the choker the “new flower crown” during Coachella last spring, but we surely haven’t forgotten. As (we can only assume) choker sales began to soar, many of us cringed at the thought of our beloved go-to accessories becoming, well, basic.

Luckily for us, the choker has evolved beyond your average Coachella staple. While part of us wants to relive our ‘90s childhoods forever, Fall 2016’s choker is anything but the simple shoe string we used to wrap around our necks. You can expect all sorts of architectural wonders, the most intricate of embellishments, and more, as our favorite jewelry brands help our collarbone steal the show. 

We rounded up 14 of our favorite statement-making chokers of the season that you’ll want to add to your accessory arsenal ASAP. Click through the gallery below to check out our picks. Certainly nothing boring over here, folks.
