WINE ALPHA PHI KNOTTED HEADBAND

Shop the WINE ALPHA PHI KNOTTED HEADBAND

The Wine Alpha Phi Knotted Headband reimagines Lele Sadoughi's bestselling knot silhouette in deep bordeaux woven cotton, embroidered with ΑΦ letters in silver thread and finished with clear crystals, faux pearls, and signature silver-plated oak leaf charms. Sculpted proportions, vintage collegiate romance, and a polished wear-with-everything neutral make this piece the new anchor for everything from blazer dressing to weekend denim.

10 Ways to Wear It

  1. Layer it over a crisp white poplin shirt, high-rise vintage jeans, and a slim burgundy leather belt. Add small pearl stud earrings so the headband's faux pearls and crystals stay the focal point — clean, modern, Parisian-inspired proportions.
  2. Style with a black silk camisole, tailored tuxedo blazer, and high-waisted pleated trousers. Pair with the oversized Crystal Hoop Earrings to balance the wide 1.5\" knot, then finish with a thin silver cuff for evening polish.
  3. Tuck it into a chunky cream cable-knit sweater, dark wide-leg denim, and knee-high cognac boots. Add the Round Crystal Stud Earrings — petite and sparkly to echo the headband's crystal cluster without competing.
  4. Drape a bordeaux silk scarf loosely around the neck with a knot at the side, then add the headband and the Mini Crystal Drop Earrings. Echoing the wine tone across accessories creates a tonal moment with editorial range.
  5. Wear with an ivory cashmere turtleneck, charcoal wool coat, and straight-leg trousers. Add the Statement Crystal Button Earrings — their drop shape elongates the face while the headband anchors the crown.
  6. Pull hair into a sleek low bun, slip into a navy pinstripe shirtdress, and add the headband plus the Tapered Crystal Drop Earrings. The structured silhouette of the knot mirrors the dress's sharp lines.
  7. Pair with an off-the-shoulder black knit top, high-rise coated skinny jeans, and pointed-toe slingbacks. Add the bold Tapered Crystal Hoop Earrings so the lobe sparkle balances the crystal cluster on the knot.
  8. Layer it with a soft mocha suede jacket, ivory silk blouse, and cream wide-leg trousers. Add the delicate Gold-Tone Chain Stud Earrings for a daytime neutral palette where the headband's silver thread becomes the jewelry accent.
  9. Style over a floral midi dress in moody burgundy-and-cream tones, cinched with a black wide leather belt. Pair with the Sculpted Crystal Button Earrings — vintage femininity with collegiate charm.
  10. Wear with an oversized camel blazer, white tee, vintage straight-leg Levi's, and loafers. Add the Small Crystal Pave Stud Earrings for an off-duty model look where the bordeaux knot is the intentional pop of color.
  11. After-work drinks with coworkers — slip it on with a black blazer, silk shell, and tailored trousers for an instant polished upgrade that signals you've been productive but ready for a glass of wine.
  12. Saturday brunch with the girls — pair with a cream sweater, vintage high-rise jeans, and a bordeaux baguette bag for an Instagram-worthy tonal moment.
  13. Sorority chapter event or alumnae cocktail — coordinate with wine-toned dresses and let the ΑΦ embroidery and oak leaf charms do the storytelling.
  14. Gallery opening or museum date night — style with an oversized ivory blazer, wide-leg trousers, and pointed flats for a quietly artistic, considered look.

How to Style It With Your Hair

Hair DownThe Bordeaux Knot was made for a tousled blowout — let hair fall naturally past the shoulders so the 1.5\" knot and crystal cluster read clearly against soft, loose lengths.

PonytailA sleek mid-height ponytail with a center part puts the knot on full display and lets the faux pearls and silver oak leaf charms catch the light at the crown.

Half-UpTwist front sections back and secure, then place the headband slightly behind the twist — the half-up shape gives the knot a soft frame without hiding the embroidery.

BunA low polished chignon paired with the Bordeaux Knot is the most refined way to wear it — the bun keeps the silhouette clean and elevates the ΑΦ embroidery for evening or chapter events.

Styling Tips

  • The 1.5\" knot is the focal point — keep earrings small to medium so the crown stays the hero.
  • Pair with silver jewelry rather than gold to echo the ΑΦ silver thread and oak leaf charms.
  • Bordeaux reads as a neutral — treat it like black, cream, or navy when planning the rest of your look.
  • For the most flattering placement, position the knot slightly off-center or two finger-widths behind the hairline.
  • Always store flat in the custom collaboration pouch to protect the hand-sewn crystal and pearl trim.
