Wildfang

Liberating menswear one fitted blazer at a time, this band of modern-day female Robin Hoods raid men’s closets and dispense the styles they love through a pair of lively local stores. From wingtips and wildly patterned suit pants to exclusive content and inspiration, Wildfang aims to bring out your best by serving both a tomboy fashion sense and a tomboy spirit. And they’ve ended up fomenting a local feminist fashion revolution in the process. Because, while it’s true that fashions change with the seasons, badass never goes out of style.

Mario’s

Portland leans toward high-end outdoor gear, but this hallowed luxury brand retailer specializes in something a bit different: an eye-popping, beautifully curated jewelry department and exclusive collection of the finest designer and contemporary threads for men and women—Brunello Cucinelli and Loro Piana to Ermenegildo Zegna and Prada—all delivered with impeccable, old-school customer service. This is how you define a style and build a wardrobe that doesn’t hinge on rain-repellent technology.
