Gorpcore
Outdoor gear as everyday fashion — Patagonia fleeces, Salomon sneakers, and trail chic in the city.
Gorpcore is Patagonia in the coffee shop: technical fabrics, earthy palettes, and outdoor brands as daily wear. It overlaps normcore and athleisure but signals outdoorsy taste (real or performed).
History
Gorp (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts = trail mix) slang met high fashion when luxury and streetwear adopted Arc'teryx, The North Face, and hiking boots around 2017–2020. TikTok and Instagram runway edits made 'mountain cosplay' a city uniform — functional gear as status without ever hiking.
