A number of trends from the 1980s and 1990s are slowly returning to high street fashion. Choker necklaces, for instance, are doing the rounds not only on fashion runways but are also being flaunted by many celebrities.

A choker is a close-fitting necklace, worn high on the neck. This type of jewellery can consist of one or more bands circling the neck.

The last high-fashion choker necklace that grabbed attention was the luxury label Dolce & Gabbana's "Love" piece that singer-turned- fashion designer Victoria Beckham wore.

They've been reinvented once again and designers all over the fashion circuit are using them to accessorise their collections, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Holly Fulton, Balmain and Saint Laurent are just some of the designers to focus on the choker and ensure all eyes are drawn to the neck.

But one should be very careful while trying out such accessories. Avoid wearing them with fussy necklines, but other than that you're good to go.
