We have had a glut of 1960s and 1970s waistcoats entering the Beyond The
Vintage HQ this week, a couple have come from America and we like to
think they COULD have been worn at Woodstock?!!! OK... that is unlikely, and
is impossible to prove, but the great thing about buying true vintage
items like these is that you are ultimately buying a piece of history.
Whether you know the story behind the item, or not - THERE WILL BE A
STORY!
Vintage waistcoats are perfect for festivals, adding instant boho hippy
vibe to any outfit. They are a staple of many celebrity festival goers,
including Kate Moss, Sienna miller and
Vanessa Hudgens.
But you do not have to wear them in the boho style, and they should not
be kept only as festival wear, we think Twiggy looks super cool wearing hers with a tie.
You don't have to be dressed from head to toe in vintage to make this
look work, wearing denim, silk, suede and corduroy waistcoats over high
street clothes creates a nostalgic boho nod to the 1970’s. Our
waistcoats will look
cool over one of our vintage 1970s tunics or dresses, but can also be
worn over a 90’s dress, with a pair of cut off Levis, or skinny jeans.
There are no rules.
Check out our range of vintage waistcoats on our online shop and Ebay!!
Peace and love
