The Origin of Gorpcore

Inspired by outdoor looks that emphasize utility and comfort, gorpcore combines the practicality and functionality of outdoor attire with streetwear fashion to create a unique everyday style. The term "gorpcore" is derived from the outdoor culture, in which "gorp" is the acronym of the colloquial term for trail mix ("good ol' raisins and peanuts"). First emerging and gaining popularity in 2017, gorpcore has officially made its way back into the mainstream and into the closets of celebrities and luxury brands.

Hopping On The Gorpcore Trend

As its name suggests, gorpcore mainly consists of practical pieces you'd wear for the outdoors – think fleeces, cargo pants, and oversized sweaters. This trend is not about perfection; ripped tops are commonly seen, as are pants that are purposefully wide, with pockets that emphasize the utility of this style. In terms of color, you can't go wrong with earthy, nature-inspired tones such as olive green and browns. Simple fabrics like cotton, wool, fleece, canvas, and denim are also key to mastering the style. And remember, the trend is all about layering, so don't be afraid to put your favorite pieces together and experiment until you find your unique gorpcore look!
