This Hester Santa Fe vest is a beautifully handcrafted piece, showcasing the rich textile heritage of the American Southwest. The intricate kilim-style woven pattern features bold geometric designs in earthy tones of red, green, and orange, making it a standout garment for any vintage enthusiast. The vest is adorned with silver-tone conchos and leather ties, adding a rugged, authentic touch to the piece.
Dating from the late 1970s to early 1980s, this vest captures the essence of Southwestern style that was incredibly popular during this era. The vest is in pristine condition, offering an opportunity to own a piece of fashion history that remains as striking today as when it was first made.
Here are some styling suggestions for how one might wear this Hester Santa Fe 1970s Vintage Kilim-Style Woven Vest:
-
Boho Layering:
- Pair the vest with a flowing white or cream-colored blouse, preferably something with bell sleeves or lace details. Add some flared jeans and cowboy boots for a perfect vintage bohemian look. This styling evokes a 1970s Southwestern vibe, enhanced by the vest’s intricate patterns and earthy tones.
-
Modern Western Chic:
- Wear it over a fitted turtleneck or slim long-sleeve top in a neutral tone (like black or beige), and pair with sleek dark skinny jeans and ankle boots. This creates a balanced mix of vintage and modern for a chic, contemporary take on Western style.
-
Festival Ready:
- Perfect for music festivals, this vest can be thrown over a cropped top and denim shorts with sandals or combat boots. Add some layered jewelry and a wide-brim hat for an effortless festival look.
-
Dressed-Up Casual:
- For a more polished approach, style the vest over a simple fitted dress in a solid color (like black or navy). Add tights and ankle boots, and let the vest be the statement piece of the outfit.
-
Fall/Winter Layering:
- Layer the vest over a cozy sweater or knit turtleneck, and pair it with wide-leg pants or high-waisted trousers. Top it off with chunky boots or clogs for a cozy, layered autumn look.
