How to Style the Flower Choker Trend

Honestly, there’s so much about the return of Y2K trends that I hate. As someone who grew up in the 90s and 00s, I distinctly remember wearing low-rise, sparkly jeans and far too many butterfly clips. Of course, trends are always cyclical, and even more so in the internet age. I totally understand how my mom must have felt when I came downstairs in middle school wearing the same fringe boots she wore in the 70s. All that being said, there are a select few of the Y2K trends that feel fresh and fun. In particular – the flower choker trend. It’s likely you’ve seen this trend in your Instagram feed over the past few months.

If you’re worried about dipping your toes into a Y2K trend and looking like you did in middle school, have no fear. The updated way to style the flower choker trend is flirty, fun, and decidedly 2023. It’s incredibly versatile and a fun way to elevate any look. Below are a few different ways to style the flower choker trend. Let me know which you’ll be trying!

For Brunch

A flower choker pairs so well with a blazer, which is why you’ll see this look repeated on Instagram. For brunch, I’d pair a flower choker with a ribbed tank, a linen blazer, and a mini skirt. It’s classic, chic, and the flower provides a little extra interest to your look. Avoid over-accessorizing elsewhere to let the flower choker stand out.

For Drinks

Pair your flower choker with a versatile bodycon dress for cocktails out with friends. The key to making this look work is keeping the dress and accessories from overwhelming the choker. It’s already a very over-the-top accessory, so I recommend sticking with solid colors instead of loud patterns.

For a Wedding

If you style the flower choker trend for a wedding, you’re sure to stand out as a fashionable guest. An luxe midi dress will keep the look elevated while playing into this Y2K trend. Pay attention to the fabric of the choker you wear for a more formal event. Look for something made of silk, so it doesn’t look cheap. Most of all, have fun with the look!
