COMMON CHOKER ERRORS

A choker is a close fitting necklace worn around the neck. Chokers can be made of a variety of materials, including velvet, plastic, beads, leather, metal, such as silver, gold or platinum, etc. They can be adorned in a variety of ways, including with sequins, studs, or a pendant.

The common types of choker include Victorian, vintage, open collar, Gothic, pendant, gemstone, or tattoo.
Some ladies make common errors when it comes to chokers. The following tips  give reasons to consider before wearing a choker  .

1. A choker will work beautifully on a long, thin neck (the proverbial “swan neck”). A choker on a short neck can make that neck look stubby — and possibly wider than it is. A wide, short neck can't rock a choker, especially a wide one. Don’t try. Instead, choose a necklace 20- to 24-inches long; this will elongate your type of neck and make it more swan-like. Wrinkled necks need to stay away from short and tight necklaces too. Unfortunately, they draw the eye to those wrinkles — use a longer necklace, perhaps with a stunning pendant, to draw the viewer’s eye away instead.

2. If you are the type that frequently wear turtle neck,then you should know a choker is not the one for you. The essence of wearing a choker is to draw attention to your neck and you wearing a cloth that has covered your neck won't bring out the beauty of the choker around your neck.

3. A final consideration is the shape of your face. The common descriptors are oval, round, square and heart-shaped. Oval faces can wear any length of necklace (keeping in mind, of course, height, neck and body size). If you have a round face, you want to pick a longer necklace, possibly with a pendant or charm, ideally something that creates a slimming “V” as it glides away from your face. Avoid the round choker as it will make your round face look rounder. The recommendation is exactly opposite for heart-shaped faces. The roundness of a choker will smooth out the heart shape’s planes and angles. Long, rectangular faces also benefit from the roundness of the choker.
So, every lady should consider the shape of her face or neck before considering the type of choker to pick.
