Lele Sadoughi Style Guide

ALPHA PHI CHARLOTTE HEADBAND

The Alpha Phi Charlotte Headband in wine, hand-finished with silver-thread Greek letters and a silver-plated oak leaf charm, is Lele Sadoughi's most-loved padded silhouette: thin, all-day comfortable, and impossibly polished. It elevates everything from a college game-day ponytail to a Bordeaux-accented dinner look, balancing sorority pride with grown-up shine.

10 Ways to Wear It

1. Layer it over a sleek center-part with a silk scarf knotted at the neck, oversized aviator sunglasses, and a chunky gold bangle stack for a polished off-duty model-off-duty look.
2. Wear it with a tucked-in white tee, high-rise vintage jeans, a buttery burgundy leather belt, and small gold huggies for an effortless Saturday-in-the-city uniform.
3. Pair it with a sharp navy blazer, silk camisole, straight-leg trouser, a long layered gold necklace, and tiny studs so the wine band becomes the focal point over polished hair.
4. Style it with a chunky cable knit sweater in cream, vintage Levi's, knee-high boots, and a silk scarf tied around the handle of a tote for a Hamptons-meets-cocoa aesthetic.
5. Wear it with a slip dress in champagne, layered dainty chains, a sleek low bun, and statement drop earrings in crystal to play proportions with the thin silhouette.
6. Style it with an oversized menswear-inspired shirting look, high-waisted Bordeaux trousers, a wide leather belt, a single statement cocktail ring, and small stud earrings so the headband leads.
7. Layer it over a blowout with a matching wine lip, a slip skirt, a cropped cashmere cardigan, and pearl-encrusted huggies for a tonal, off-duty champagne brunch look.
8. Pair it with a collegiate rugby or a button-down under a sleeveless knit vest, a pleated mini skirt, knee socks, loafers, and a thin velvet ribbon choker for a modern prep moment.
9. Style it with a sleek black jumpsuit, a single long gold lariat, statement geometric drop earrings, and a bold smoky eye so the silver oak leaf catches every light.
10. Wear it to a tailgate with a vintage oversized band tee tucked into high-waisted denim shorts, layered gold necklaces, a Bordeaux head-to-toe tonal moment, and crystal-encrusted studs.

Styling Tips

• Because this is a thin padded silhouette, lean into bold earrings or layered necklaces for proportion play, but never both at once.
• The wine color reads as a true neutral; treat it like a Bordeaux lip and pair it with cream, navy, black, or champagne for a tonal palette.
• Place the headband two inches back from the hairline to keep the silhouette modern and avoid a costume-y look.
• Spot clean only and store flat in the custom collaboration pouch to protect the silver-thread embroidery and oak leaf charm.
