What does a choker necklace imply? What is the difference between a choker and a chocker?

The choker necklace is a type of necklace that has been quite popular in recent years. Previously, it was only seen in some film and television dramas, but after some catwalks and fashion bloggers wore this item, it has been loved by more and more young women.

Choker necklaces are quite sexy, and some people think they have sexual connotations, but modern people just wear them as a decoration.

The literal meaning of choker is a necklace that fits close to the neck. This kind of necklace is made of various metal materials or some clothing fabrics. It has different temperaments, such as cute, sexy, gorgeous, rebellious, etc. It also has the effect of modifying the face shape to a certain extent.

Chokers made of velvet fabric are very common. Compared with some metal and leather materials, this material is more suitable for daily wear and has a soft feminine temperament. Chokers made of this material can be matched with daily wear or some very formal dresses.

Stacking: We often see some girls wearing several necklaces together. There may be one that is close to the neck, but there is usually a slightly longer one below. The combination is more layered and the wearing style is more diverse.

Some people have larger or rounder faces, which may make their faces look bigger when they wear a necklace. In this case, pairing it with a slightly longer necklace or one with tassels can have the effect of lengthening the face and making the face look less wide.

People with big faces should not choose necklaces that are too wide; slender styles are more suitable.

In fact, the correct way to write it is choker, which means bored.

Summer is here, and fashion magazines are once again teaching us how to show off our bodies in a clever and elegant way with one fashion item after another. This year, one item seems to be particularly popular: the "choker."

The literal meaning of the word "choker" conveys a certain kind of oppressive darkness. Choke means "suffocation". Choker is a "suffocating thing" that tightly strangles the throat. Why do people still love it?

Choker was originally closely associated with the word "death". At the end of the 18th century, France was under the dictatorship of the Jacobins. The whole society was filled with a grim atmosphere of terror, and countless people died on the guillotine because they were suspected of being counter-revolutionaries. At that time, a "victims' ball" (Bals des victimes, victims' balls) quietly became popular among the victims' families - people imitated the tragic death of the victims in various ways to express their grief for the victims. In the process of imitation, "death" and "decapitation" were symbolized, and people's clothing and hairstyles became symbols of reproducing the death scene.

In addition to cutting their hair short like death row prisoners, women would also wrap a red velvet ribbon around their necks to imitate the appearance of being beheaded. It was at this time that this short ribbon wrapped around the neck and fits very well became an important symbol in the balls of that era, and gradually became popular as a decoration.

In a 2014 novel, the heroine is a French spy who wears "victim short hair" and a red ribbon around her neck at the "Victim Ball".

By the late 19th century, the development and popularity of the choker was more polarized. On the one hand, it became synonymous with the upper class and high culture, and ballet dancers at the time often wore velvet or satin chokers around their necks. On the other hand, it also became popular among the royal family - Queen Alexandra of Denmark had a special liking for wide chokers made of velvet and pearls because of the scar on her neck.
