Chokers are very short necklaces that fit snugly around your neck. They have a long history as the first signs that these pieces were a desirable accessory date back to the Middle Age era.

Not Too Tight
Wearing a choker will definitely make you look gorgeous and sophisticated. But you should never sacrifice your comfort just because of sexy appeal.
