We fondly remember our chokers in middle school — we even loved the candy necklace variety — and with every wear, we felt more and more like we were channeling our idol, Cher Horowitz. After a brief hiatus, we're pleased to report that chokers are very much in the fold again and infinitely cooler than they were in our teens. This time around, they're cropping up on the red carpet on style-setters like Rihanna, Joan Smalls, and Elle Fanning, and they're looking sleeker, more polished, and chicer than ever. To our point, we've curated the coolest pieces on the market — scroll through to see how our favorite celebs are wearing them and then shop right here. Source: Getty / Jamie McCarthy
