In this photo, Chloe Harrouche is wearing a longer necklace wrapped around her neck several times to achieve the effect of a choker. I love how she layered it over a sweater. Proving this is a trend that can be worn in the cooler months as well as when it is super warm out in the summer time.
In decades past they were often thought of as stuffy or old fashioned, even passe but this is no longer the case.
Of course with the pandemic many trends where put on hold and are just now reaching the fore front here in the States. And the pearl necklace is certainly one of them, and in particular the choker pearl necklace. In decades past they were often thought of as stuffy or old fashioned, even passe but this is no longer the case.
I was watching a video by the YouTuber Cynical Duchess the other day and in the video she was traveling in Amsterdam and interviewing people there about what they were wearing, and I noticed that many of the people she spoke with were wearing pearl chokers. I have to say I do not see this often here in the U.S. even in New York (at least not yet) with the exception perhaps of Fashion Week, when of course the more fashion forward folk are out and about. I adore how Caroline Daur wore this simple pearl choker for a more casual fashion forward look, and then how Alexa Chung wore a similar necklace in a much more dressed up look.
In the video the people interviewed in Amsterdam were not attending Fashion Week, they were just going about their day. These are looks they chose to wear to go shopping, to go out to lunch or just run errands. Gosh those European cities are just so inspiring.
Personally I think this is a super fun trend and I love the old school Chanel vibe it evokes. And even men are jumping on this trend as evidenced here by Chau Bui‘s main squeeze. Wow, he has as much fashion sense as she does! Oh la la!
I do not own any pearl or pearl inspired necklaces so I am going to have to rectify that situation ASAP. What say you? Do you like this trend? Do you have any pearl necklaces? If not would you buy one? And how would you style it?

This is a trend I have always liked and when I saw the Italian singer Damiano wearing it this year, I was sure it was coming back. Your post confirms my hopes 😉 Kisses dear!
This is such a great trend! Classic, elegant, but somehow, it still feels really fresh. I do have some pearl necklaces, so this seems like the perfect time to pull them out!
I have my mum’s pearl necklace that she gave me but I bought a longer one too that I like to wear with it and with my tweed blazer. Pearls are timeless, in my opinion.
Oooh I love this pearl choker trend. I have a few in my collection. Need to start wearing again. 🙂

I love this trend but I don’t have any pearl necklaces. They are so timeless that I may have to get one or possible a knockoff to wear. 🙂
The Pearl Choker is both a statement and a staple piece. Classic, elegant!

I love pearl chokers and necklaces. I mostly wear them at night time to the symphony concert or the opera but I do sometimes throw it over a simple white t-shirt too. This particular jewellery is timeless so it’s worth investing in it

Hello Allie, I hope you’re having a good summer despite the constant heat waves!
I also agree with you! We first see some trends in Paris or maybe Milan and then they escalate to other places, but sometimes the effect is not immeditely. And then you can spot many trends in Los Angeles.
I have seen many pearl necklaces and pearl chockers over here, even in guys and i think they are really cool! I also liked the selection of images you put in this post, specially that with Alexa Chung. Go and get the pearls 😉

Such a classic look with a modern twist. 😀
I sorta love that pearls are making a comeback! I have a classic strand I got as a gift from my parents in college but honestly haven’t worn it much since my 20s. I need to change that, asap!

Classic looks that are awesome!

I absolutely love pearls, especially chokers. I have a few necklaces that were given to me by family members that I wear for dinners and galas. But lately, I’ve also been buying affordable pearls that I can wear with more casual styles. xo Nipa | Fashionipa
Such a classic piece! xx

It’s very interesting what you write, because I always thought that our inspiration in Europe comes from the USA 🙂
And I love pearls and I’m glad that they are back in fashion!
Pearls are so classic!

That pearl choker is amazing. I love the idea of something old coming back and becoming new again especially when it is done in such a versatile and cool way. Great inspiration and it just looks so polished and beautiful. Hope you are having a great week and start to fall season.

Thanks a lot =) This is a pretty great look for summer. Oh a friend of mine is in NY at the moment 😀 Here in Germany it’s also hot, we need some rain soon for the nature.
Nice post with a really nice fashion trend 🙂 I like pearls too, so this choker necklace would be perfect for me.
Kisses <3
Cool post! I like it!

Very nice
I had a pearl choker back in my twenties and I loved it. I think they are classic, and also trendy when styled like Chloe Harrouche has wrapped it around her sweater, it looks amazing! xx
