What are your thoughts on choker necklaces and why? (Page 2)

Question

My boyfriend was saying that chokers are seen as slutty (I’m rephrasing). He says I could wear what I want but if I wore a choker, it basically meant that I disregarded what he said.  He doesn’t want others to see me in a disrespectful way and that’s why he’s concerned. He says there is a time and place to wear it.  I understand but im also seriously annoyed that I can’t wear something just because it’s looked at as something else. I’d like to wear what I wear without worrying about others but clearly that’s not how the world works  anyone else have any thoughts or relate?

Chokers in my opinion are attractive, cause they make you look thin and self disciplined, and conservative and well embodied since it wraps around your neck so tightly. I think he is either thinking of BDSM or worried other guys will hit on you if you wear a choker due to its ability to make somebody look significantly better if done properly.

I dont get why guys think it's hit it looks stupid to me. It's a thread that keeps falling in n out of style

Tammy94 · Answer

I like them. They can be slutty or tasteful depending on their style and what they're paired with. It's nice if your boyfriend is concerned about you and protective of you, but there's a fine line between that and pressuring you or dictating to you what you must and must not wear.

They're not slutty wtf, he needs to let you wear what you want to wear. It's a goddamn necklace, not a low cut top or anything. I think chokers are so adorable, I don't know how someone could see it as "slutty". Yes, someone could think its hot, it comes to opinion but he shouldn't be worked up over a necklace.

Astoriana · Answer

I don't like them, personally. I think they make people's necks look fat even when they aren't.

Now, I personally think that your boyfriend is being a twat. You should be able to wear what you like. I don't think that fashion chokers are seen as slutty. Maybe the dog collar type that those weird BDSM lifers wear, but a normal one, no.

It is not in your boyfriend's place to tell you what to wear. If he doesn't like them, fine, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't wear them.
It is concerning that he's trying to play it as a slutty thing because it isn't. That is a guilt tactic, plain amd simple.
TL;DR: wear what you want. That doesn't mean ignore what he says, but if you like the choker then wear the dang choker.

devilish-cutie · Answer

he's overreacting and its annoying for him controling what you wear its not like you flash your tits or something tell him something what he should not wear or wear differently and see his reaction

I’ve never heard of chokers being called slutty. I find it funny even. Considering so many young innocent girls wear them in schools now. It’s a trend women of almost all ages are enjoying. If you want to wear it do what you want. I understand your concern but i’ve honestly never heard someone have that opinion on them before.

I thought the samething when my girlfriend wote one, maybe it's just me.

Chokers are a doozy. In order to look anything more than mediocre, they require lots of coordination around an outfit. They can't just go with everything.
With sweatpants and that jazz, chokers just look weird, but I'll be damned if they don't complete a steampunk outfit.

Geminihunk · Answer

The chocker necklace has a symbolic meaning. Unread about this sometime ago...

At the end of 19 century a prostitutes was wearing a black ribbon around their necks. During this era, a ribbon around the neck could mean a woman was a prostitute or meaning available for sex. Choker necklaces are in fashion nowadays, it is worn around the neck, touching the skin rather than longer necklace which dangle.

U can relate too if there is something u have noticed that stands out on others as something that instantly forms your opinion about them like a back pack r they homeless tweeter bums Or students maybe all that I don't know but I like it and if u want to be my slit I let u I'm down with that shit for sure

Sarcastro · Answer

I've heard choker necklaces called "the black-belt of sucking dick". So, as a fashion statement, THAT is the statement you're making.

Dark93 · Answer

I love how chokers look on women.  Your boyfriend is probably referring to the incorrect assumption that girls who wear chokers are sluts and freaks in the bedroom.

menina · Answer

I can't relate, since I'm single. I don't like choker necklaces, I don't like to have anything on my neck, it makes me uncomfortable. So I would never wear one.

sixfootsix65 · Answer

Cholera are not for me at all I do not find them sexy or attractive and there is just nothing about them I like or care for. If someone wears one that's is cool I would never say anything negative about them wearing choker its their preference

daniel2k19 · Answer

You can't control others thoughts. It's messed up but true. You can wear it but I don't see the point. Because it just seems so constricting and claustrophobic. Plus like what if you get into a car wreck. Something catches you're choker. Depending on the type of material and how tight it is, could choke you to death. Also the name of it. Choker. Sounds kind of kinky. So yea, go with what you're boyfriend says.

Temporal_Ice · Answer

I honestly think chokers are kindof cute, though I have no idea where that thought came from.

mj97l · Answer

I love chokers and I have a large collection of them. Yeah, they're usually seen in a sexual way, but I still wear them.

EpicDweeb · Answer

I've never seen chokers in that light. I've mostly seen them as a common accessory in a semi-goth culture. So.. yeah I dunno =/
