That's right, you read the title, well you probably didn't because i don't think anyone actually reads this blog but you get my drift. It is thought that the warm embrace of a choker could be re-united with our necks once more. Bit cheesy...moving on. It has been spotted on many a catwalk and i think this popular but forgotten accessory could be making a comeback. From Gothic to Egyptian to elegant chandelier. There are so many styles and it's such an easy way to add edge or a touch of class to an outfit, where ever and whenever you need it.

How:

• Add a pearl/ fangly diamond choker to a floor length gown to instantly add elegance and glamour.
• Wrap multiple starnds of pearls/beads/crystal type things around your neck to intergrate both the choker and the 40's trend.
• Add a choker to dress up a simple neckline on a blouse, wrap dress or suit.
• If you are going for a big neck encasing choker wear small earings that match or none at all so its not too overcrowding.

Designers, who? (to give you an idea):

It has come to my attention that we could be expecting a comeback of 40's glamour this autumn/winter.

What is 40's fashion?
Some must have key items and accessories are:

• Pussy bows
• Skinny belts
• Pencil skirts
• Fake fur
• Pearls
• Gloves
• Big clutch bags
• Sun glasses
• And a ton of class and womanly charm.

Who's done 40's and how ( from what i have seen from the catwalk shows):
Miu Miu: fur wraps over tailored dresses.
Donna Karan: Created a sexy feminine silhouette by wrapping and twisting fabric. Used pearls and elbow length gloves. Pulled the outfits together with a classic skinny belt.
Frida Giannini at Gucci: Fedoras and pussy bow blouses.
Jonathon Saunders: lots of colour and classis pieces.
