Jill McGowan

Meet your new favorite button down shirt. Since 2019, local designer Jill McGowan has been crafting “elevated casual” clothing from scratch in Portland, and while she has dresses and jackets too, it’s her blouses—elegantly cut, in a wide range of rich fabrics—that have won her acclaim. Though her goods are sold in specialty stores across the U.S., this is the brand’s only dedicated shop.
