'Male Chokers' Are Now A Thing And The Public Aren't Having It

Everyone knows that chokers made a huge reappearance in 2016 - for women. But, like the skinny jeans and man bags before them, the fashion industry is now aiming them at men.

There's nothing wrong with this as a principle, but apparently this is just too damn far for some people. Plus, to be fair... it looks really weird.

ASOS has released 11 different 'male choker' designs, including a very pretty pink velvet one that I've now got my eye on.

Although chokers have appeared on men on catwalks for ages, this step into general sale is just too much for some people.

The thing is, weird can be awesome. And as we know from David Bowie and Prince, blurring the lines between femininity and masculinity can sometimes be cool as fuck.

Cynthia makes a point...

But it's one of them. Are any of us as cool as Bowie, Prince and George Harrison?

What do you reckon? Are you going to be trying it out?
