Does anyone remember chokers? I seem to recall a black velvet one, semi-permanently glued to my neck. My daughter wore a pink plastic “lace” one for close to three years. I should have been more embracing of it, given how long I wore mine for. All trends are cyclical. I’m just waiting for her to ask for french tips and a tiny tube skirt. Ava Gardner, at a nightclub in 1950, makes the choker look chic. I think it helps that she’s in a lace cocktail dress, and well, that she’s Ava Gardner.
