This Trending Accessory Has Staying Power
In the ever-revolving door of accessory trends, it seems that certain special pieces have (exponentially) longer staying power than others. This is especially true for the subject of today’s story: the choker—more specifically, black leather, ribbon, or velvet iterations. To be honest, we expected the trend would be on the decline by now, but with each passing day, it seems to be only picking up steam. Not only are designers continuing to make them, but also, some of our favourite celebrities have recently introduced them into their day-to-day wardrobes, making the look more accessible than ever.

Who do you think wore it best? Tell us in the comments!
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
