PI BETA PHI CHARLOTTE HEADBAND
The Pi Beta Phi Charlotte Headband reimagines sorority pride through a polished, modern lens. In silver blue woven cotton with scarlet and white embroidered Greek letters and a hand-painted wine carnation charm, this thin padded silhouette sits comfortably between the Alice and Gigi shapes, making it the most versatile Pi Beta Phi statement piece in the collection.
10 Ways to Wear It
- Pair with a crisp white button-down, high-waisted tailored shorts, oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses, and small gold huggie earrings so the scarlet and white embroidered letters stay the focal point.
- Layer two dainty gold necklaces (a short bezel chain and a longer pendant) with the headband, mini diamond studs, and an oversized blazer thrown over a slip dress for a polished pregame look.
- Style with a cashmere crewneck in ivory, wide-leg indigo jeans, the red and white carnation charm catching the light against soft hair worn down, and sculptural silver sculptural cuff earrings.
- Tie a silk scarf in silver blue around the handle of a top-handle bag, then let the headband be the lead accessory with simple gold studs and a poplin midi dress for daytime chapter events.
- Wear with a monochromatic silver blue knit set, statement chandelier earrings in crystal, and a sleek low bun to let the embroidered Greek letters read cleanly across the crown.
- Layer a chunky chain necklace over a white ribbed turtleneck, add the headband, and finish with sculptural silver hoops for an elevated cold-weather campus look.
- Pair with a floral midi dress in tones of blush and navy, dainty pearl drop earrings, and a structured top-handle bag for a tailgate-to-lunch transition.
- Style with a black slip skirt and ivory cashmere sweater, ruby red drop earrings, and the headband worn slightly back from the hairline for an evening philanthropy gala.
- Combine with a denim jumpsuit, oversized blazer, layered gold chain necklaces, and minimal stud earrings so the carnation charm becomes the singular point of visual interest.
- Wear with a white eyelet sundress, stack of thin silver bangles, statement red resin earrings, and the headband paired with low braided pigtails for a Sunflower philanthropy day.

How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownWear hair in loose, soft waves with the headband positioned about a half inch back from the hairline to showcase the embroidered Greek letters and the wine carnation charm.
PonytailPull hair into a sleek mid-height ponytail, wrap a small section of hair around the elastic, and place the headband right at the crown so the scarlet and white detailing frames the face.
Half-UpTwist the top section of hair back and secure with a clear elastic, then position the headband just behind the twist so the silver blue woven cotton reads against the loose lower half.
BunSmooth hair into a low chignon at the nape and slide the headband on so it rests about one inch back from the hairline, letting the carnation charm sit just above the ear.

Styling Tips
- Spot clean only and store in the custom collaboration pouch to preserve the hand-painted carnation charm and embroidery.
- The 1-inch comfort fit band is custom-designed to stay put all day, even with thick hair, so avoid hairpins that can snag the woven cotton.
- Let the headband be the singular statement piece, pair with small to mid-scale earrings to keep proportions balanced.
- Anchor the silver blue tone with ivory, navy, camel, or white for the most cohesive looks.
- Position the headband a half inch to a full inch back from the hairline rather than flush against it for the most flattering, modern silhouette.
