If you are a 90's kid, I'm sure you remember all the amazing music and of course, who can forget about the fashion. Some things were a bit questionable looking back...However some of those trends have managed to make a great comeback, such as the choker.

Many people either love or truly hate this trend. For those of you living under a rock, the choker is a close fitting necklace worn around the neck. It comes in many different materials such as velvet, plastic, beads, and any kinds of metals. People usually relate the choker mostly to the "grunge" or "punk" kids. I'm the kind that truly dislikes stereotypes, and I'm glad that this time around the choker is being used in a more fashionable sense. Girls can literally wear this accesory with just about everything and that's the beauty of it.

However there is an ugly side to it. I had stated before, "you either love it, or you truly hate it". That being said, many people have decided that the choker look takes away from a girl, as far as calling her a dog on a leash. I would understand why it's so easy to tease this look when we live in a society that lives to criticize, and I usually am the type who can take a joke. However, there has to be certain limits to things. Comments like these can hurt people, and last time I checked that definitely counts as some form of harrasment/ bullying. That clearly would be the con of this trend.

On a lighter note (and on to pros now), I know that there are some true wonder women out there, and comments like those are easily ignored. :)
The awesome part of this accesory is that has been made to fit every girl's lifestyle out there.

Look 1 is definitely made for a more edgy fashion forward girl. She loves the clasic look but finds a way to make it more innovative.

Look 2 is more of an ethereal style. She's the innocent girl next door, but she isn't afraid to try new things.

Look 3 is for the girl who likes to one up things. She's into more glam statement pieces.

Look 4 is for Miss Rock n Roll. She isn't afraid to rock the classic style.

In conclusion, you're allowed to wear whatever makes you happy and makes you feel beautiful inside and out, even if it is ridiculous in other people's minds. Let them laugh, and better yet let them stare.
