It’s only been five days in the New Year and online fashion store ASOS is already making noise and expanding their market for the ’90s choker trend. The Internet blew up when they made chokers exclusively for men available on their site.
I love how people nowadays are like ‘Chokers are not for men’ but…? pic.twitter.com/Q3ndLEOiZA

Sorry, Matt Lauer, you weren’t the first one to don a men’s choker and you certainly won’t… https://t.co/Yz4bS7uHGC by #voguemagazine

But I mean, why not? Men have sported this trend back in the ’70s and ’90s like Sid Vicious with his famous padlock choker and Iggy Pop’s bright red dog collar. Something closer to home would be Ryan Atwood in The OC.
If there’s one thing everyone should be freaking out about should be about the lack of options and styles. I mean, the women have about 600 options, but the men only have 10. Oh c’mon.
Chokers are chokers. I can wear them, my boyfriend can wear them, my brother and sister can wear them. NBD.
