TIKTOK TREND: GORPCORE

September 18, 2022

If you’ve been scrollin’ (trekkin'? 🤔) through TikTok lately, you might've seen that the outdoorsy aesthetic is hot RN 🔥 That’s gorpcore, FYI. It stands for 'Good ol' Raisins and Peanuts', inspired by the great outdoors 🌿 It's actually been around for a while, but thanks to style legends like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid – it's back! Think hiking and camping in the wilderness, but not actually doing those things – plus, lots of pockets...

Lost? DW, we have the map! A tech-focused brand like The North Face is your new BFF – if that sounds sweet, get all the deets below👇

CAMP ROCK

adidas Originals Adventure mountain t-shirt in altered blue with front graphics , $35

You know the drill... Layers, layers + more layers = 🔑 So, if you wanna be the outdoorsy type, don’t shy away from adding another tee to your 'drobe. This one's picture-perfect, just peep that mountain-range motif 👀 It's the definition of 'tell me you're outdoorsy, without telling me' (we’ll take four, pls).

POCKETS GALORE

ASOS DESIGN slouchy cargo pants in brown camo , $49

Parachute and cargo pants have been HUGE this summer (Hailey Biebs taught us well 😉), and they’re def staying for the breezier months too. Take your gorpcore feels to the max 📈 with a camo print, like the above – there's no hiding in these beauts!

JUST ZIP IT

The North Face Woodmont parka in black , $150

Wanna know the best thing about gorpcore? It's fashion-forward AND super practical. Case in point: this North Face jacket. It gives an utility-esque parka shape, PLUS protection from the elements (thanks to DryVent tech!) ⛈ Better luck next year, fall 👋

TRAIL-FRIENDLY FOOTWEAR

Teva lace up flat ankle hiker boots in black, $152

When it comes to shoes, it’s obvs gotta to be something techy – and these chunky Tevas understand the assignment! Ft. an MAC-COMF insole for max cushioning and comfort, they're literally built for exploring. And the antibacterial properties to prevent any unpleasant scents? Yeah... *Adds to cart*

UTILITY FEELS

ASOS DESIGN cross body-bag in khaki nylon, $26

A trek through Gorpcore territory isn't complete without a fresh accessory, and we've found *the one* 😍 The toggle design on this lil bag gives allllll the techy feels (bonus points for the khaki tone 🤎). Throw on your cargo pants and wear cross-body, or on your shoulder if you're feeling fancy. Now, where did we put our trail mix..?
