Hep Kat Clothing

By Caroline Kelleher

Nestled in the heart of downtown at 785 Higuera St. is a haven for any fashion lover. From retro-inspired dresses with flared skirts to authentic vintage clothing, Hep Kat Clothing has something to spark everyone’s interests. For more than 20 years, the store has sold accessories, clothes and hairstyling services, focusing on looks reminiscent of the 1950s. What makes these clothes unique is the modern twist incorporated into their designs, such as airbrushed designs on the backs of leather jackets or colorful sunglasses to accessorize any outfit.

Hep Kat Clothing is loved by San Luis

Obispo because of its unique emphasis on personal style and its mix of various themes. Anyone that sets foot through the inviting large doors is able to find something perfectly suited for their tastes. Hep Kat’s inclusive sizing adds to the welcoming nature of the boutique, in addition to the extremely large range of items and styles it sells.

Hep Kat sees its customers return time and time again, due to an often rotating stock that can be seen through the wide glass windows situated at the front of the building. It’s also a fantastic place to shop for gifts for anyone special in your life, with a wide variety of California and retro-inspired accessories, enamel pins and more.

Stepping into the boutique takes one back to a decades-old sentiment and style, but fit for living in modern times. It’s no surprise this authentic store is the top choice for boutiques in SLO.

Go back in time at Hep Kat Clothing everyday except for Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
