Obviously it’s not the first time traditionally female items have evolved to include males as well. Skinny jeans, man bags, fancy scarves etc. But every man has to draw the line somewhere I think, and the choker might just be where that line is drawn for me. I mean yeah if you decide to wear a choker one day that’s 100% fine, just don’t be surprised if you wake up the next morning in some strange dude’s bed with a whole night’s worth of dodgy, drunken photos and videos to remember it by. That’s just what happens to people who wear chokers.
For chokers of a different kind, get a load of how this legend blocks an armed robbery attempt from going on.
