It’s easy to give in to the whim of just tossing on an outfit and going. But, when you want to take your wardrobe to another level, you may be at a loss of how to easily pump up your look by a notch or two without having to spend hours getting ready.

Fortunately, one of the best and easiest ways to elevate any outfit is to accessorize with chokers, but while a standard necklace may do, a choker will help to uplift the whole appeal of your overall personal style. Not only are they great stand alone accessories, when paired with a bold bracelet, earrings, or even a belt they can make your look.

How to choose the right choker

1- You need to choose the right size for you.

Remember, if you have a short neck, a thinner choker will be -more appealing. While, if you have a longer leaner neck, you can get away with wearing a thicker choker band.

2 - Choose the style.

You can pick from a simple band around your throat with a small embellishment, to chokers with drop necklines that appear like lace over your throat and toward your chest. Each has its benefits.

3 - Keep the neckline of your top in mind.

If you are wearing a graphic t-shirt, you may want to err on the side of caution and pick a thinner and less ornate choker. But if you’re wearing a little black dress with a plunging neckline, a choker with more detail and strands may be the best way to go to turn up the volume on your outfit.

4 - Pick the right colors.

Choosing a choker based off of the color of your outfit will ensure that your look is cohesive. If you absolutely have to wear that choker, make sure to choose your outfit around it.
