PLUM GRETA SILK HEADBAND
Shop the PLUM GRETA SILK HEADBANDThe Plum Greta Silk Headband is a moody, romantic take on our classic knotted silhouette — buttery plum silk finished with a 1 1/2" front knot and a cushioned comfort-fit band inspired by Greta Garbo's quiet glamour. The deep, dusty plum reads as a neutral that lifts everything from cream knits to black tailoring, making it the easiest way to add a jewel tone to a polished look without committing to a full outfit change.
10 Ways to Wear It
- Style it with a cream cashmere turtleneck, oversized gold hoop earrings, a long pendant necklace, and a wide leather belt cinched at the waist for a soft, tonal day-to-night look.
- Pair with oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses, a buttery leather trench, and a silk scarf tied at the neck for a true Greta Garbo moment walking through the city.
- Layer it over a black slip dress with dainty diamond studs, a delicate gold chain necklace, and a thin belt to let the plum knot be the only statement.
- Wear it with a chunky ivory cable-knit sweater, small pearl studs, and layered gold necklaces of varying lengths for a cozy, feminine fall uniform.
- Style with a structured white blazer, a black silk camisole, sculptural drop earrings, and a skinny belt to balance the headband's volume at the top.
- Pair it with a flowing floral midi dress, small gold huggies, a single layered gold chain, and a raffia top-handle bag for a wine-country lunch.
- Style with a black leather jacket, a white tee, high-waisted straight-leg jeans, chunky gold hoops, and a wide waist belt to channel effortless downtown cool.
- Wear it with a soft blush slip skirt, a tucked-in white button-down, small diamond studs, and a delicate lariat necklace for a romantic dinner look.
- Layer it over a plum cashmere wrap coat with a tonal silk blouse, sculptural gold earrings, and a long pendant to make the headband read as part of a full monochromatic moment.

How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownWear with soft, blown-out waves and a center part so the knot sits cleanly across the crown and the silk catches the light.
PonytailPull hair into a sleek low ponytail at the nape, leaving face-framing pieces loose, so the band reads graphic and modern.
Half-UpTwist the front sections back and secure with the band, letting the rest fall in loose waves for a soft, romantic finish.
BunStyle with a low, slightly undone chignon so the knot of the headband becomes the focal point of the face.

Styling Tips
- The custom comfort-fit band is designed to be worn all day without slipping — no need to tighten or pin once it's on.
- Keep jewelry small and dainty at the ears when you want the silk knot to lead the look; switch to bigger earrings only when hair is pulled fully back.
- Spot clean only and always store flat in the signature striped pouch to protect the silk's hand and the shape of the knot.
- Treat plum as a new neutral — it pairs as easily with black, white, and denim as it does with other jewel tones for a tonal moment.
