Gorpcore Fashion: The New Outdoorsman

Among the few positives of the global pandemic has been a rediscovery of the great outdoors. The fresh air has become a source of comfort for even the most indoorsy types, so it's no surprise fashion has followed suit with the rise of gorpcore. 

Coined by Jason Chen in The Cut, gorpcore, short for “good ol’ raisins and peanuts,” is named after the hikers who unintentionally pioneered the aesthetic. But gorpcore isn’t just for outdoorsmen; the trend meets at the intersection of utility and fashion, with puffers, fleeces and practical footwear serving as staples of the look. Through winter, gorpcore pieces offer both style and warmth, whether dining outdoors on city streets or camping in untouched forests. Like any good hiker knows, there’s no such thing as bad weather—only bad clothing.
