A Headband That Doesn’t Make My Head Look Huge

For the longest time, I thought I couldn’t wear those cute headbands like everyone else because they just looked too big on my head. In a weak fun moment, I splurged on a Lele Sadoughi headband, and I ended up wearing it non-stop (it DIDN’T GIVE ME A HEADACHE)! I couldn’t figure out why this one worked so well until I was talking to my friend, Nicole (@followtheleders), and she said, “It’s probably a slim!” Did you guys know that Lele Sadoughi makes slim headbands?!?

I was working with a client and passed this info on to her and now we both can’t stop ordering them! You know how a couple years ago scarves just brought together your outfit?  Well, I’m finding headbands are doing just that! They make me look put together when I’m wearing workout wear, at the ball field when I have no makeup on, and for Zoom calls. They are majorly working for me right now!

These are both slims….

Full disclosure, because I love them so much, I’ve now actually graduated from the slim headbands. I’m now ordering the in-between size.  Not too big/puffy, but not a slim. They’re both great options! Here’s an example….

I might be late to this party, but hey, at least I joined, and I’m having so much fun with it! How do you feel about headbands?

Here’s a few of my favorite slim headbands by Lele Sadoughi:

P.S. This look doesn’t have an age limit. My 74 year old aunt wears headbands and looks fabulous!
