My neck is betraying my age like no other part of my body. I will refrain from calling more attention to that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741516 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 02:10:47 +0000 Windchime 1741516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROBINF--What does yours look like?</p> <p>GINGER--Your necklace sounds fab; glad you remembered it!</p> <p>AZIRAPHALE--I appreciate your insight! I'm still happy with my 50-plus year old neck. I better hurry up and start wearing chokers before that changes!</p> <p>Lovely necklace, TRACEYLIZ65! And especially nice that this trend brings back a good childhood memory.</p> <p>JAILEEN--I hear you about possibly feeling choked by a choker. I won't wear one that's uncomfortably tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741409 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 22:25:38 +0000 JAileen 1741409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a woman of any age can wear a choker. If you have a long neck, even better. I personally feel choked by them, so I'll have to admire yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741404 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 22:20:40 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1741404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought &nbsp;the Honora pearl open choker I posted a few days ago and have worn it several times already that I am calling it a workhorse. &nbsp;<br />I also saw a black string one form Jane. com that I ordered, but haven't tried yet. It is definitely more wild in my opinion, but I am daring enough to give it a go. I am 51 and remember loving a pink ribbon one as a child that had a rose charm dangling from it. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741322 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 19:11:35 +0000 Aziraphale 1741322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Windchime, there is no reason a middle-aged woman can't wear a choker. They are fab. I think the reason you don't see middle aged women wearing them much is because (a) they're newly trendy, and most of the cutting-edge gals I see are young; and (b) these necklaces really draw attention to the neck area, and this seems to be something that older women don't always want to do -- either because they are beginning to develop a "cordy" neck, or else jowls, and they are self-conscious. Neither of these things bother me, however, and I'd still wear chokers if I had a long neck like you. :-)</p> <p>Also, even if you're perfectly happy with your neck, I think they tend to shorten the neck area. This is why I've never been a huge fan of the thick black choker on myself, while I like the look on swan-necked ladies. I do find that a very thin choker is more forgiving.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741145 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 13:51:37 +0000 Ginger 1741145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I have a vintage necklace - pearls and velvet and long ties. I forgot I had it until I got out my other vintage pearl necklace this morning. I never thought of it being in style! Thanks for asking, Windchime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741110 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 13:14:42 +0000 RobinF 1741110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question! I bought one a few weeks ago and haven't worn it yet, kind of worrying about the same thing. And I don't have a long neck, so it may still go back.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741024 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:40:24 +0000 Windchime 1741024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, STYLE FAN. Good to read that they are your favorite length of necklace! My neck is quite long, too, and after I experimented with ribbon last night, I decided that a choker band would actually be flattering on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741023 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:35:34 +0000 Windchime 1741023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ANGIE --After trying JOY'S ribbon test last night, I'm definitely going to go for it! Thanks for the encouragement. </p> <p>TANYA--I missed this in the 90's so am extra eager to try it this time around.</p> <p>DEBORAH--I love those elegant examples of the trend! Both Faye and you wear chokers beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741019 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:17:06 +0000 Style Fan 1741019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always worn choker necklaces.&nbsp; They are my favourite length of necklace.&nbsp; I have a very long neck so some shortening is not an issue for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741016 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 09:52:10 +0000 Deborah 1741016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woops double post ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1741015 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 09:52:05 +0000 Deborah 1741015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Windchime, chokers are trending here at the moment and Designer Faye Brown, in her 60's, is wearing them with everything #1-3 and #4 is my recent effort xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740911 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:34:05 +0000 Tanya 1740911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say go for it if you like them and if they suit you.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wore them in the 90s when they were first popular and I was a teenager&nbsp; and am wearing them again, second time around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740907 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:29:48 +0000 Angie 1740907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740904 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:27:21 +0000 Windchime 1740904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JOY--That's a great idea! Off to try right now. In the case of my long neck, a little shortening might not be a bad thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740901 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:23:52 +0000 Windchime 1740901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how you think, RACHY LOU!</p> <p>SHEVIA--My neck is long. And if they're good enough for Linda Rodin, that's good enough for me!</p> <p>FIRECRACKER--Why not indeed? This is one of the very few times that I've really liked something, fashion wise, but stopped myself for fear I'm too old now. And I know what you mean about making them yourself, especially the velvet ribbon ones. How hard can it be?!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740896 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:17:06 +0000 Anonymous 1740896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may want to try a piece of ribbon to see how it looks and feels. I can wear scarves tied around my neck and turtlenecks but choker necklaces feel too uncomfortable. A high contrast to your skin seems most neck shortening. I don't see age as having a part in deciding who should wear chokers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740885 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:08:25 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1740885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not, Windchime? I think I've only seen it on models so far, and yes, they are young. But I'd wear one, if I liked it. I will admit that I wasn't into them when they were in style in the past, as they make my neck feel shorter. But I did try one on the other day, and I might actually give one a go this time around. (I didn't buy that one, because it was a piece of ribbon, and I could, um, just buy a piece of ribbon . . . right?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740884 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:07:30 +0000 Jaime 1740884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think chokers relate more to length of neck than age. I feel like I have seen Linda Rodin wear them - or she could. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740883 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:06:47 +0000 rachylou 1740883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course! </p> <p>I think chokers are generally rare tho. Because only wild women wear them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choker-necklace-question#post-1740882 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:04:42 +0000 Windchime 1740882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like some of the choker-style necklaces I'm seeing this fall, such as the simple black velvet bands. But I have this idea, rightly or wrongly, that they're for younger women than me. I don't think I've seen a single middle-aged woman around here wearing one. </p> <p>Can I try some version of this trend, or shall I enjoy it on others? </p>
