Chokers Are The New Flower Crowns
It’s exactly the time of the year when everyone suddenly becomes obsessed with wearing flowers on their heads. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but this year there aren’t nearly as many flowery headpieces to be spotted. Are chokers the new flower crowns? Taylor Swift sure thinks that this accessory has taken over for the once coveted headband bouquets, and I couldn’t agree with her more.
The ‘90s have made a comeback in a major way. Fashion, accessories and beauty looks from the decade have been popular for months now, and even Coachella couldn’t escape its influence. So, the new must-have accessories this year are chokers, chokers, and more chokers.
They’re great for layering, wearing on their own, and of course, there’s still a way to let a '70s vibe seep into them. You can find chokers covered in flowers, full of fun prints and in mixed metals. So, when it comes to staying on-trend, but still letting the festival spirit influence your fashion, it would appear that these necklaces offer the best of both worlds.
Check out the most Coachella-ready chokers that are great for wearing long after the festival is over. Because this ‘70s-inspired 1990s trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I mean, we’ve only just moved on from flower crowns, after all. Because fashion statements this good have a lasting impression.
If this photo is any indication of just how popular chokers are now, they're even more of a big deal than you thought, huh?
