Lele Sadoughi Style Guide

SCARLET ALPHA CHI OMEGA KNOTTED HEADBAND

A bold statement of sisterhood and style, the Scarlet Alpha Chi Omega Knotted Headband channels Greek life pride through Lele Sadoughi's signature knotted silhouette. Embroidered AXΩ lettering in olive and white, hand-set crystals, and 14K gold-plated lyre charms transform scarlet red woven cotton into wearable heritage — a piece designed for chapter events, game-day dressing, and every moment a sorority woman wants her letters to shine.

10 Ways to Wear It

1. Anchor a crisp white button-down and high-waisted dark denim with the knotted headband, then layer two dainty gold chain necklaces and finish with the Mini Knotted Headband in gold for a polished rush-week look.
2. Pair it with a cashmere cream sweater, tailored black trousers, and the Crystal Drop Button Earrings in gold — let the lyre charms twinkle against soft knits for a chapter brunch.
3. Style with an oversized ivory blazer, a silk cami, and high-rise wide-leg jeans; add the Crystal Pave Hoops and a stack of the Crystal Hinge Bangles for a luxe game-day moment.
4. Wear it with a fitted navy polo, a pleated white tennis skirt, and the Crystal Stud Earrings in gold for a polished philanthropy-day uniform.
5. Layer over a chocolate-brown leather jacket, a simple white tee, and straight-leg jeans, then add the Oval Crystal Pave Drop Earrings — letting the scarlet pop against earth tones.
6. Tuck it over a strapless emerald satin midi dress and stack the Crystal Tennis Bracelet in gold with the Pave Huggie Hoops for a sorority formal entrance that commands the room.
7. Style with a striped Breton top, vintage Levi’s, and the Knotted Headband in navy, finishing with small gold studs for an off-duty Parisian feel that still reads as letters.
8. Pair with a cropped black cardigan, a high-waisted floral midi skirt, and the Crystal Pave Heart Drop Earrings — proportions that let the knot read as the hero.
9. Anchor a chunky ivory fisherman sweater, leather leggings, and ankle boots, then layer gold chain necklaces and switch to the Mini Crystal Studs to keep the headband in focus.
10. Wear it with a crisp poplin shirtdress in white, a thin leather belt, the Pave Cuff Bracelet in gold, and a single delicate pendant — proportions tuned for chapter presentations and alumni events.

Styling Tips

• Always anchor the headband with smaller-scale jewelry elsewhere — the knot and lyre charms are the hero, so pair with dainty chains or petite studs to keep proportions editorial.
• Store flat in the custom collaboration pouch to protect the crystal prongs and preserve the 14K gold plating, especially between chapter events and travel.
• Spot clean only — never submerge the woven cotton or the embroidered AXΩ lettering, and let it air dry away from direct sunlight to keep the scarlet true.
• Coordinate the olive and white embroidery to a single accent in your outfit (a cardigan, a bag, or a shoe) to make the headband feel intentional rather than themed.
