Chokers Must-Have! Melanin Choker By Melanin Be Poppin

Right now being a melanated queen is lit. We have freely adopted and coined such terms as “black girl magic,” “black girls rock” and “black girls killing it.” Moreover, its not about being arrogant either. Its about finally having pride and feeling confident in our own skin. As women of color for years we have been told we are the most undesired women on this planet. Told that our tones are not beautiful or too difficult to match in the form of cosmetics. However, the beautiful part is now we don’t care (LOL)! Regardless, of how some may feel about us, WE FEEL much differently. We have progressed, we have moved on and we aren’t going back or looking back. Now this gorgeous movement is showing up in our fashions right down to accessories such as chokers.

Winter 2014 Accessory Report: The Choker

fashion accessories trend lanvin winter 2014

Looks like things are about to become a “tight” fit. Chokers are making a comeback in a very large way. Long gone are the days of the versions that made it appear that you had a tattoo or were a fifth member of a grunge band. Two runway shows that stuck out to us was Lanvin and Balmain for their inclusion of the accessory.

Balmain took a more exotic approach with chokers that had a tribal, African feel. Lanvin’s metal art deco style was an edgy feast for the eyes. Both shows proved that at any extreme this accessory can be grand, dramatic look.
