Beautifully curated clothes and personable, helpful staff! Both(owner) Tez and Crystal have amazing style and taste. Love their jewelry, high-quality clothing selection, and minimalist décor. Perfect shopping experience in every way. My favorite clothing store in Portland!

WOW what a selection of awesome clothes. Tez the owner is fantastic! She is kind, warm and not pushy. She know’s how to style a client. Worth going in and seeing it for yourself and shopping.

I love everything at Parallel! I always find the coolest jewelry here, my favorite! And the Rag and Bone shoes are so amazing, I can’t get enough!

This locally owned store has a beautiful, well-edited selection of women’s clothing and accessories with a bonus: the owner and staff are amazingly sweet and friendly! It is obvious the owner, Tez, who I’ve come to know and now call a friend, is super passionate about what she does and she really cares about her customers. Parallel is located in Portland’s West End — well within walking distance of the Ace Hotel, and all the mega-chains like Anthropologie in the Pearl and/or Nordstrom downtown. If you want to spend your money locally and want to set yourself apart(fashionably speaking) you should check this boutique out. It’s great!

Great shop of tasteful designer clothes at a mid($ 40) to higher($ 250) price range. Love the taste of clothes, typically simple with class, unique pieces and beautiful. The owner and staff are honest and helpful. When I go to Portland, I ALWAYS leave with a Parallel bag in hand.

Rag and Bone booties and Clu dress. I’m set for the winter! Cute shop new location. I can always find a perfect piece that you won’t see worn on someone else across the room.

Portland has many great women’s clothing shops and Parallel is definitely at the top of the heap. All the clothing in the shop feels extra special — you can tell the owner has edited the pieces to reflect a casual chic grouping of lines. My favorite is Prairie Underground from Seattle. Made in the USA — yo! Casual and yet fitted to your body so you look great even on your day off. I also got a very cool wrap dress from a Japanese designer. The prices range so you can always find something you like. A shop to not miss when you are doing your local clothing shopping.

A fair collection of sweaters and accessories. Most of the items, like the Rag & Bone sweaters were far out of my price range but fun to filter through. There are a few unique pieces, and yes they carry Seattle brand: Prairie Underground but very limited. What I feel that this shop lacks for clothing, makes up in fun, quality accessories. There are a few locally designed/made items as well. I managed to find some great heavy metal pieces by Erin Wasson. The owner is certainly gracious and lead me to check out a few other shops in the area as well.

Came here in search of a Prairie Underground hoodie and was pleasantly surprised by their selection. The lady who helped me was attentive(but not over-bearing) and very helpful. They had a decent selection of some of my favorite brands and a good amount of sale stuff considering it’s a boutique shop. The prices are decent and I walked out with what I went looking for with a smile!

Parallel is awesome, and Tez is awesome. This boutique is hidden in plain sight on the southern edge of Jamison Square park. The shop is stacked with a well-edited selection of in season sportswear that’s both classic and hip. The color range is muted and sophisticated, and, in general, so are the fabrics. Look for labels like Paul & Joe, Park Vogel, Hazel, Tocca, Rag & Bone and Prairie Underground. Tez has assembled a perfect closet for the modern Portland woman — understated, casual and elegant.
