Which Gothic Choker Should I Choose?
Everything starts with the color selection. Of all our available colors black, burgundy red, and purple are the most fitting for a goth outfit. Next, consider the hardware of your gothic choker. While we have silver, light gold, and black the most fitting colors are silver and black in my opinion. An underrated combination is purple leather with black hardware.
Now, choose the width of the collar. For a more subtle option go with a thinner strap and for a stand-out statement, I recommend you go with a thicker strap width.
Our designs usually differ by shape, what hardware we use, or what custom print we add to the leather. When it comes to hardware we have options with spikes, eyelets, O-rings and much more. As for designs, take a look at them yourself. We have tried to incorporate gothic symbolism as per request by customers.
How to Style Gothic Collars for Everyday Wear
Styling a gothic collar for daily wear can be both fun and creative. You can start by pairing the collar with plain tees or intricate gothic blouses. This accessory complements leather jackets perfectly. For those preferring a gentler look, combining a gothic collar with lace details can soften the overall style while still being the center of attention in any room. They match well with dark denim or black pants, which help maintain the gothic theme without overdoing it. If you’re aiming for a throwback vibe, style the collar with vintage or retro outfits; the contrast brings a modern twist to classic looks. For casual outings, pair the collar with combat boots to enhance the rugged aesthetic. Lastly, don’t forget to accessorize with gothic-themed jewelry, to tie the whole ensemble together and underline the gothic theme.
