90s fashion rewind: How to style a choker necklace

During the decade that gave us Clueless, The Spice Girls, and No Doubt, every self-respecting fashionista owned a choker necklace. Today, Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Lily-Rose Depp are rocking the choker like it's 1995.

Available in a range of colours, materials, and styles, it's a versatile accessory that can be paired with everything from distressed jeans and sneakers to an elegant ball gown. In a nod to this throwback look, we've scoured the Watch Shop jewellery box and handpicked a selection of chokers that can give your outfit a pop of retro street cred.

Swarovski ladies' Crystaldust necklace



This fetching piece from Swarovski has a chameleon quality, as it can blend seamlessly into both smart and casual looks. Crafted with the brand's signature Rolled Crystal Rock technique, it utilises blue, black, and silver-toned crystals to stunning effect.

Team it with a crisp white shirt and jeans to give your laidback look a hint of glam, or vamp it up by pairing it with an evening dress in black or blue.



The gold version is equally stunning, and looks elegant when teamed with a white dress and matching gold accessories. Worn with an LBD, it takes on a whole new punk-rock persona.

Both chokers from Swarovski can also be easily adjusted and worn as a headband or bracelet.

Calvin Klein stainless steel beyond choker




Calvin Klein was a fashion force to be reckoned with in the 90s, with the likes of Kate Moss modelling their catalogue of cool clothing, jewellery, and underwear. Today, the brand is as prominent as ever, and this futuristic choker with its space-age design is proof they've still got it. Style it with your best evening wear for a modern nod to the past.

Fiorelli ladies' gold plated pave hinged choker





Fiorelli is all about beautifully crafted design that blends luxury with affordability. This gorgeous gold plated pave choker encapsulates this perfectly, contrasting the gold band with black crystals. Ideal for the cocktail bar, pair it with a matching Fiorelli pave bangle to complete your look.

Lipsy black-ion plated pave choker





Looking for something a little different? This black ion-plated steel square pave choker from Lipsy will give your outfit a subtle edge, with its geometric pattern and delicate chain. A unique piece, it can boost your office getup and transition easily to a night out.

Calvin Klein rose gold plated choker





Pink is hot in 2017, with various shades frequenting the runways this year. Calvin Klein's rose gold plated outline choker is eye-catching and feminine, the perfect accessory to frame your dress of choice.
