#FashionFriday With GGF: When And How To Use A CHOKER

CHOKERS

A lot of you just like me must have been wondering at some point why your daughter, sister, wife or friend as the case may be go about with different ropes or adornment tightly clung to their neck, you even get to ask if they are not choked by it, this hilarious question goes on in our head, on a serious note, you cannot be choked by wearing a neck choker, the name is agreeable to the appearance of the accessory. Chokers might seem a little bit intimidating. First of all, they don’t seem that comfortable, something worn around the neck the neck all day isn’t exactly intriguing but I can boldly tell you it’s not that bad
A choker, according to Wikipedia is a close fitting necklace worn around the neck. Choker can be made of a variety of materials, including velvet, plastic, beads, leather, metal such as silver gold or platinum etc. their constructions range from simple to ornate, and they frequently feature detailing like sequins, rhinestones, pearls or pendants.



When worn rightly, a choker can be a great fashion accessory. However there are definitely some key points to keep in mind when choosing a choker that will look flattering, below are some helpful tips

1,Evaluate your neck and face shape; A choker is best flattering when it sit firm across your neck, it should be loose enough for you to be able to breathe easily. It is also important to know that choker looks best on those who have long slender neck, if you have a short neck, it’s advisable to stop wearing a choker at all or use a very thin and simple choker to avoid a bulky look, the longer your neck, the wider the choker you can wear and still look appealing. Talking about the face, those with round faces should as much as possible avoid the use of choker, like every other necklace, chokers also accentuate your strongest facial features. Chokers look flattering on people with heart shaped faces, because they make the face look fuller while balancing out the narrow chin. The best possible way to access the beauty of a choker relative to your face and neck is to try it on before buying and when you do, keep it in mind that the best positioning for a choker is on, or just above the collarbone.

2,Selecting by style and colour; when considering a colour of your choker , choose the colour that suits your skin tone, its important to know that black looks great on everyone with a pairing embellishment that matches the eye colour. For a chic look, go with a fabric choker, while for a bold and structured look, try a metal choker.

3,Coordinating with clothing; this I think is the most important point to consider before choosing to wear a choker. The neckline of the clothing is a wise consideration before using a choker, the more bare skin is exposed around your choker, the more it will stand out, and chokers are most flattering with sweetheart, scoop, V-neck, strapless, off-shoulder and square necklines. For an alternative look, wear chokers with a top or dress that leaves your chest and shoulder bare, like a corset. Also as important is to choose based on whether you are wearing casual or formal attire.
