Statement Chokers

Across the spring and fall 2020 runways, statement chokers popped up around models' necks. Gucci piled on two of the accessories while Jeremy Scott of Moschino included one in a larger set of layered necklaces. Other brands like Monse and The Blonds debuted buckle options. Look for extravagant chokers come autumn 2020 to wear with your V-neck sweaters and knitted cardigans. The theme for accessories, it seems, is go big or go home.

When your outfit needs that unexpected touch, earrings like these will ensure everyone gives your outfit a genuine compliment.
