What is gorpcore fashion? The definition of the outdoor trend 🏔️
Gorpcore fashion is the perfect symbiosis of functional outdoor clothing and urban streetwear style. The term is made up of "GORP" (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts - classic trail mix) and "Core" and describes a fashion style that combines technical functionality with aesthetic design
In contrast to pure outdoor clothing, Gorpcore goes far beyond pure functionality. It combines waterproof materials, innovative cuts and urban aesthetics to create a look that works for both hiking and strolling around town. The movement was born out of the realization that modern lifestyle blurs the line between indoor and outdoor.

The story of Gorpcore: from migration to the city 🌆
The Gorpcore movement emerged in the late 2010s, when outdoor brands such as Patagonia, Arc'teryx and The North Face were suddenly being worn in urban contexts. What began as a practical decision - functional clothing for everyday wear - quickly developed into a conscious style statement.
The breakthrough came in 2025-2025, when the pandemic massively increased interest in outdoor activities and functional clothing. At the same time, people were looking for clothing that was equally suitable for home office and outdoor escapades. Gorpcore became the answer to these new lifestyle demands.
