Remember when chokers were simple? A thin black strand that wrapped once around your neck and worked to break up an outfit. And that was just a few months ago; we used to stretch the elastic style over our heads back in the '90s. But now, with the recent neck-ccessorize craze, it seems like anything goes. We just really hope this dainty new tie trend sticks around.

Bloggers and style stars alike are twisting the thinnest of cords into delicate little loops, even working the wire with additional pendants or chains. The look is a bit more feminine than a neck scarf or bandana, but it feels just right for Summer. Read on for all the styling inspiration you need, then shop a few of our favorite designs.
