10 Ways to Wear It
- Layer the frosted red Shirley headband with a delicate gold chain necklace and small huggie earrings for a polished holiday dinner look that keeps sparkle at the crown without overwhelming the face.
- Pair the slim tweed headband with oversized square sunglasses, a structured blazer, and a silk scarf tied at the neck for a chic city-stroll moment that nods to current street-style layering.
- Style the Shirley with a velvet headwrap underneath a wide-brim felt hat for après-ski lodge glamour, letting the gold thread flash against winter whites.
- Combine the frosted red headband with a crystal-embellished collar necklace and skip earrings entirely, letting the neckline do the talking for a gallery-opening ensemble.
- Tuck the Shirley over loose, tousled waves with a chunky turtleneck sweater, gold hoop earrings, and a leather crossbody for a cozy coffee-run look with intention.
- Stack the headband with a silk scarf knotted at the ponytail base, statement drop earrings, and a red lip for a polished lunch-with-the-girls moment that reads festive but not overdone.
- Pair the slim tweed band with a high-shine satin bow blouse, pearl stud earrings, and a layered set of dainty gold necklaces to let the crown shine at a daytime holiday party.
- Style the Shirley with a sleek low bun, a sculptural gold ear cuff, and a crystal-encrusted brooch pinned to a lapel for an evening cocktail hour look with editorial polish.
- Layer the headband over a center-parted sleek blowout, add cat-eye sunglasses and a long camel coat for a weekend brunch-meets-shopping look with subtle holiday warmth.
- Combine the frosted red headband with a black silk slip dress, thin gold chain earrings, and a stack of crystal bangles to let the gold thread of the band echo the jewelry at the wrist.
Occasions
- Holiday dinner with family, where the festive tweed and gold thread catch candlelight across the table.
- After-work Christmas cocktail at a rooftop bar, paired with a velvet blazer and a bold red lip.
- Sunday stroll through a winter art exhibit, layered under a wide-brim hat and camel coat.
- Festive brunch with the girls, balanced with simple gold hoops and a silk blouse for an unfussy but celebratory mood.
- Christmas Eve church service or caroling, styled with a cream cashmere turtleneck and pearl studs for an elevated, classic finish.
How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownWear hair down in soft, polished waves with a center part so the knot sits cleanly at the crown and the gold thread catches light against the hair.
PonytailPull hair into a mid-height ponytail, leaving face-framing pieces loose, and place the headband one inch behind the hairline for a clean, modern finish.
Half-UpStyle a half-up twist with volume at the crown, then place the Shirley slim band at the top of the twist so the bow reads as the focal point.
BunSweep hair into a sleek low bun at the nape and position the headband just behind the hairline to elongate the face and showcase the tweed texture.

Styling Tips
- Keep earrings small or skip them entirely when wearing the Shirley at its full 2 1/4 inch height to let the bow lead the look.
- Echo the gold thread by layering delicate gold necklaces or stacking thin gold bangles for a cohesive holiday palette.
- Pair the slim tweed texture with smooth fabrics like silk, satin, and velvet to let the woven gold thread pop.
- Spot clean only and store flat in the custom striped pouch to preserve the bow shape and tweed fibers season after season.
- Let the band sit one inch behind the hairline rather than pushed forward to flatter the face and showcase the center knot.
