As a fashion trend for women, the choker has come and died and descended into mainstream purgatory, joining everything else associated with Taylor Swift.

As a trend for men, however, those ’90s-revival necklaces are capital-F Fresh.

On Thursday, Louis Vuitton’s Kim Jones sent models down his spring 2017 Paris runway wearing punkish iterations. Just a week before, in Florence, Raf Simons dressed several looks from his men’s collection — designed in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation — with elegant-yet-fetishistic collars. And in Milan, Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared2 showed chain-link accents in their David Bowie-indebted catwalk presentation.

We’re not saying every dude should go all “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” but it’s food for thought.
