Runways, red carpets and Renaissance paintings have one thing in common at the moment: the choker. More specifically, the velvet choker. This autumn accessory is beloved for its ability to add a touch of drama, whether paired with an evening dress or your everyday t-shirt and jeans. Recently, velvet chokers were seen across runways – take Nina Ricci, for instance – as well as on celebrities, notably Daisy Edgar-Jones promoting her film Sense and Sensibility. Far from simple velvet ribbons of the past, designers are reimagining the piece through thoughtful details.
Today’s iterations of the accessory arrive finished with everything from brass charms to clusters of diamonds and gemstones. And while there is an undeniable gothic edge to the aesthetic, it remains versatile and easy to layer. Here, MOJEH rounds up the velvet chokers to shop now.
