Portland Threads is GoLocalPDX's weekly review of what Portlanders are wearing on the streets.

Suits and ties were seen around downtown Portland this week on Portland Threads.

Where's the inspiration? Well, modern day fashion icons like musical artist Tinie Tempah play with polished menswear pieces by adding patterned knit sweaters, and stunning red suits with a pair of slip on loafers. Model Johannes Huebl keeps things classic and refined, wearing subtle plaid blazers or statement colored trousers.

On the streets of Portland, a mix of colorful pink and green jewelry added a feminine and playful touch to a men's Guayabera shirt, while a toddler dressed to the nines wearing a matching striped vest and pants with a black and silver bow tie.

“I would describe my style as a tropical I Love Lucy. My style icon is Carmen Miranda. I just love her flair and exuberance. How do you not love a woman who wears fruit on her head?”
