What is a choker?

1 min read
Quick answer: Choker = short necklace (35–38 cm), fits snugly around the neck. Ideal for off-the-shoulder outfits. Gold chokers are predicted to be very trendy in 2026.

A choker is a very short necklace or band worn tightly around the neck – typically 35 to 38 centimeters long. It sits directly on the throat area and is particularly effective with off-the-shoulder and low-cut outfits.

Types of Chokers

  • Gold Choker: Fine anchor chain or Venetian chain measuring 35–38 cm – elegant and timeless
  • Velvet Choker: Velvet band with a gold detail – 90s revival
  • Layered Choker: Several tight bands worn one above the other – a maximum statement

Which Neck Shape Benefits from a Choker?

  • Long neck: Benefits from any choker – more skin visible
  • Short neck: Caution – a choker can visually shorten the neck; prefer a longer necklace
  • Oval face: Any choker works
