Snatch up Sock It To Me socks for just $4 a pair!
By Erin Flesch, NEAT contributor
Gone are the days when basic boring black or white socks reigned supreme. Here in Portland, we’re quite foot-fashion-forward, which means we consider a cute print on a sock to be just as much a factor as comfort. Perhaps that makes us a bit shallow in the sock community, but when [...]

A cold, grey front may be moving back in, but spring sprang in Portland for one glorious Saturday, when gals about town tucked flowers behind their ears, hopped on their bikes and pedaled fast to catch the sun.

We love meeting a gal with the keen fashion insticts to mix military touches with menswear, then top it all off with cherry red lipstick and stroll down Northwest 23rd Avenue like she invented Saturday afternoon.

Turns out Hawley, who owns Frank James boutique and was hanging out in front of her shop on a coffee break, much prefers jeggings [...]

Portland State University student Beryl Bessemer and her boyfriend went out looking for adventure in Southeast Portland this week, and they found it when Neat Street nabbed Bessemer to ask about her casually chic (and very Portland) Bohemian style.

Aspiring designer Bre Wagner whipped past us in The Pearl District this week, on the fashion fast track in happy stripes and badass boots. We chased her down (literally), and learned she works as a server/bartender in Northwest Portland, and she enjoys burning her paychecks in The Pearl.
Wagner, who moved to Portland from the Eugene [...]

The bold, bright line of sportswear-meets-streetwear styles will be available online soon, and we want it bad.
