Naked City Clothing

Naked City is great! The button wall and patch display case are my favorite things to look at & they have so many cute clothes and accessories! PRO TIP: I always check out the SALE rack because I’ve found so much good stuff there!

I was here in August while the city street fair was on this block. They had a major sale rack outside and great items inside. The staff was friendly and now with Tatyana store gone they are the only real option for rockabilly dresses. The store is cute and has wonderful items. It was a lot of fun and I found some cool stuff. Stop to see these ladies and try on items that make you feel like a woman!

Amazing little shop cute stuff at a decent price. One of the only rockabilly shops I’ve seen in the area so far. Pretty decently priced. The ladies working are helpful and sweet. :)

We loved Naked City, which sells clothes accessories and ephemera for the counterculture kids. Plenty of rocker, punk, rockabilly, pin-​up and kitsch wares, and everything weird and wacky inbetween. The front of the store is mostly clothes and there’s lingerie and costumes in the back. I loved all their crazy graphic tees and Elvira merchandise.
Naked City Clothing was probably my favorite clothing shop in Portland and I’ll definitely go again the next time I’m in town.

Naked City Clothing is a cute, kitschy little clothing botique that I really enjoyed going into recently!
They have lots of adorable little «neo noir» type dresses here for the ladies which really adds the place some charm!
They have clothes for men too, mostly screen print t-​shirts but they were really cool!
There is a host of other things here too. Shoes, masks, hats, cards and knick knacks. It definitely compliments Portland’s quirkiness!

Stopped in and we found A LOT of really cute clothes here without paying an arm and a leg. I also love how it was all organized by color which really helps to speed up your search.

I love this shop ! I normally just drop in for little knick knacks and to pick up the latest issue of PORK but i love scoping out their dresses: D and the workers are super nice & helpful I came in looking for colored hair dye and they pointed me down the street to a shop that had a bunch of manic panic.

Love! We spent about an hour in there and left with a ton of awesome stuff and barely broke $ 100. The owner is super cool and very friendly. Great selection of «pork» products like cool patches and tshirts. Love this place!

In a word, awesome. If you like goth, punk, glam, rockabilly, or just plain retro-​chic clothing, this is the place to go. Plenty of sizes (though maybe difficult to find above an 18), different but flattering styles, and kick ass prints. The woman who was working was very helpful and friendly. If I lived in Portland, I could see myself coming here again and again. Keep on keepin’ on, Naked City.

A little edgy for my taste, but oh my gosh do they have a lot of fun vintage style clothing! It was the middle of winter, and I found my new favorite polka dotted swimsuit for next summer! If there was one store I wish I could take home with me, it would be this one. I had a blast checking out their merchandise. So many cute dresses, skirts, shorts, tops to pick from. Sexy stockings and accessories. I can’t wait for my next visit!

I love this place! This a rock n’ roller’s DREAM!
They’ve got the PORK shop set up for all your button and patch needs, studs and spikes galore, kitschy hair accessories and vintage inspired jewelry. They’ve also got wicked, fabulous rockabilly and pin up clothes! All of my favorite pin up brands are here– voodoo vixen, rock steady, pin up couture, kreepsville, sourpuss, Effie’s heart, trashy diva, etc. Many of these brands I usually can only find online because there are no stores in Portland (or really, the Northwest…) that carry them. The nice thing too is they have a nice array of all the pin up gal tiers, affordable to the more high end (investment but very long lasting and always classic) items.
There is no place in Portland like Naked City! Stores like this are what keep portland weird, spicy and different. Whether or not you’re a rock n’ roller or a punk, there is surely something awesome and unique waiting here for you. Check them out if you haven’t already! Also the employees totally rule and are very friendly!

Gosh, I love it here.
Cutesy little things in my size, totally reasonable prices, and sweet, sweet helpful lady at the head of the ship.
If you ever want to feel gorgeous, come here and try on everything. Shoes in my size, dresses, the most perfect cardigan you ever saw, all the jewelry that I am going to make Hubbs buy me… Better yet, buy something to be admired in later. Everyone loves a pin-​up.
Stopped in with only an hour before close. Barely made it out and left so much more to try on. Can’t wait to go back.

Hands down, my favorite clothing shop in Portland. I discovered it when I got my discount card for being part of RCR, and have been completely obsessed ever. The first night I actually shopped there I ended up being in the shop for like three hours trying stuff on and they could not have been nicer or more accommodating. And as far as people saying it’s expensive, I completely disagree. I think I spent about $ 250 that night and left with something like 14 items including two dresses, three pairs of pants, two skirts, four tops, tights, a couple of ties, etc. I was blown away by how much I got for that amount.

I love the clothes since it is stuff that I would wear: Alternative, goth and steam punk. The prices compared to where I come from are very very reasonable, however, here is where it falls flat… their customer service. It was not polite but it wasn’t rude either. They seem to be lacking in general people skills which was an immediate turn off to buy what I really wanted that I just got at another store a few blocks down.

I venture into this shop very little, and up until recently had had rather poor experiences…
Prior to my most recent visit, I had rarely been greeted when walking in the door, and if I ventured a «Hello» myself, I would get a rather snobbish «Hi» from the person working. But in recent visits, the tone has changed slightly, and employees seem to be a bit more chipper, making for a much more pleasant shopping experience.
As for the shop itself, it’s small, and quite packed. It’s brightly lit, which is nice, and full of all sorts of goodies, from great rockabilly dresses, to t-​shirts featuring favorites such as Dracula and Vampira as well as wonderful odds and ends for the house, including hearse floormats. There’s jewelry and purses, and belt buckles. You could seriously overhaul your entire wardrobe here if you wanted to go in a rockabilly/​psychobilly direction.
The place has BOTH mens and womens, but more stock is allocated towards the gals.
Prices vary, and they all depend upon the brand itself. The carry Bernie Dexter items, which are on the pricey side, but her stuff is made in the US, which is nice, and they also carry items from Pin-​Up Girl Clothing. But don’t expect the entire selection of either company’s stock, it is very, very selective.
At Halloween, they offer up fun and unique costumes.

This shop is the coolest! Whether you’re looking for a fun, flirty, or funky dress, they’ll have something for you. The prices are a bit steep for me, but all the dresses were really cute and well made so I can see why they were a bit pricier. All the gals who work here are also super nice and helpful. If I could I’d probably have my whole summer wardrobe be from Naked City!

Naked City is an oasis of BAMMM amid the desert of «same olé.» Midway through my grande gauntlet of shopping on Hawthorne BLVD, Naked City is a must stop any time I’m in the hood.
They have a really unique twist on the Portland boutique. They offer pin-​up 1950s style lingerie and swimsuits, same era dresses and clothing, goth jewelry and tshirts, and a great selection of sunglasses and clearance shoes. They always have a $ 10 dolla HOLLA rack outside too.
The service is impeccable, the prices are reasonable and they always have a really unique collection of items you won’t find anywhere else.

Confession: I am not this stores niche market.
I think of this store as grown-​ups hot topic. Think rockabilly, pin-​up, and kitschy accessories. Nothing wrong with any of those things, just not my thing. I’ll be honest that the first few times I passed the store I thought it was a costume store or some weird vinyl/​latex dress selling store.
I will say that while I cant say I love the store I do love that they cast a wide net for people who dont want to follow the «traditional» and boring fashion trends.

I read through all of these reviews, and as a longtime Naked City shopper, I have some things to say.
First off, the staff there are actually pretty nice. I don’t know why people think they are not «cool enough» to shop there, based on staff attitudes. Just because they don’t give you a million watt smile and talk your ear off the whole time you’re there doesn’t meant they aren’t friendly. I always have a good time chatting them up and they always give me really good feeback on clothes I’m trying on, if I ask for it.
Secondly, maybe compared to Goodwill they are pricey. They have some expensive stuff there but it will last you much MUCH longer than Walmart clothes. They won’t stretch and become baggy an hour after pulling them out of the dryer. They won’t fade as fast or get little pin holes in them from wear. It’s simply good quality and honestly their prices are very competitive when looking at places like
(of which I am also a shopper). They have stuff to fit every budget. I am not wealthy by any means but I never leave there empty handed and always feel like I got my money’s worth. And occasionally I’ll save up my dollars and splurge on something really nice for myself.
Thirdly, I have no idea why people are calling this place «hipster». I classify it as pinup/​rockabilly/​psychobilly mostly. There are some skinny jeans and neon sunglasses there but it’s definitely not hipster. So those of you who are scared of hipster joints, feel free to go in.
I pretty much love NC with all my heart. You guys are awesome, keep doing what you are doing and I’ll keep spending my hard earned money there. Shop local!

I ALWAYS stop here when i hit portland’s Hawthorne street.
The owner (i think?), red headed gal, is SUPER helpful with any questions you have. The prices are really reasonable.
Sometimes they hold onto inventory for quite a while, but i usually find something i have to have each time i stop in.
keep doin’ what you’re doin!
