Shop the NAVY GARDEN JACKIE EMBROIDERED EYELET HANDKERCHIEF HEADBAND

The Navy Garden Jackie Embroidered Eyelet Handkerchief Headband reimagines an iconic Jackie O silhouette with a navy cotton blend base and delicate ivory eyelet embroidery. Designed in NYC with our signature custom comfort-fit band, the 1 1/4" width and 8 1/2" handkerchief tail give an instantly polished, ladylike finish. Pair it with everything from crisp summer whites to chunky knits for an effortless, modern-meets-heritage moment.

10 Ways to Wear It

  1. Style the navy Jackie handkerchief with a crisp white poplin shirt tucked into high-waisted navy trousers, gold chunky hoop earrings, a slim cognac leather belt, and tortoise sunglasses for a polished daytime look.
  2. Let the embroidered headband lead a romantic outfit: ivory silk midi dress, pearl drop earrings, a delicate gold chain necklace, and tan leather ballet flats.
  3. Lean into Americana with a red cashmere crewneck sweater, ivory wide-leg denim, gold button earrings, and a vintage leather satchel — the navy headband grounds the palette.
  4. Pair the Jackie with a striped navy-and-ivory Breton tee, high-waisted white jeans, oversized square sunglasses, and small gold stud earrings for a chic French-girl weekend uniform.
  5. Layer it with a camel trench, ivory cashmere turtleneck, straight-leg dark denim, gold huggie earrings, and a silk twilly scarf tied at the wrist for tonal contrast.
  6. Style for a summer wedding guest look: floral midi dress in soft blues, pearl cluster earrings, a small structured clutch, and nude block-heel sandals — the navy band ties the palette together.
  7. Try a preppy take: navy blazer, ivory shell top, pearl stud earrings, a slim gold chain, and tailored shorts for a garden-party-ready ensemble.
  8. Ground it with edge: black silk blouse, vintage high-rise jeans, chunky gold link earrings, a wide black leather belt, and cat-eye sunglasses — the navy embroidery softens the look.
  9. Build a monochromatic navy moment: navy slip dress, ivory cashmere cardigan draped over shoulders, dainty gold pendant necklace, small pearl studs, and strappy nude heels.
  10. Layer dainty gold necklaces (one short chain, one with a small charm) over a navy knit dress, finish with a slim gold cuff, ivory ballet flats, and the Jackie headband for dinner.
  11. Mix textures for fall: ivory boucle jacket, dark wash straight jeans, a small silk scarf tied at the neck, gold huggie earrings, and the navy embroidered headband to anchor the look.

How to Style It With Your Hair

Hair DownLet hair fall in soft, natural waves — the embroidered tail sits perfectly at the crown, creating a romantic, undone finish.

PonytailPull hair into a sleek low ponytail with a center part so the band sits cleanly across the top and the handkerchief tail drapes at the back.

Half-UpTwist the front sections back and secure with a hidden pin, letting the rest cascade — the band becomes the focal point without competing.

BunSmooth into a low chignon at the nape so the embroidered tail rests against the crown for an elegant, polished silhouette.

Styling Tips

  • Spot clean only and store flat in the striped resealable pouch to preserve the embroidery.
  • The handkerchief tail can be worn centered at the back for a classic Jackie O silhouette or shifted to the side for a more modern, asymmetric feel.
  • Pair the navy embroidery with ivory, camel, or soft blues to let the eyelet detail stand out.
  • Keep earrings dainty or simply pearl — the headband is the statement, so balance scale elsewhere in the look.
