TIKTOK TREND: GORPCORE
By Jazmin Duribe, 12 September 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, loadsa pockets...
Lost? DW, we have the hook-up! Tech-focused brands like Salomon and The North Face are your new BFFs – if that sounds sweet, get all the deets below👇

CAMP ROCK
Reebok camping graphic tee, £23
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 on the back 👀 It's the definition of 'tell me you're outdoorsy, without telling me' (we’ll take four, pls).

POCKETS GALORE
Parachute and cargo pants have been HUGE this summer (Hailey Biebs taught us well 😉), and they’re defo 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
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 wind-blocking tech!) ⛈ Better luck next year, autumn 👋

UTILITY FEELS
ASOS DESIGN cross body-bag in khaki nylon, £17
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 trews and wear cross-body, or on your shoulder if you're feeling fancy. Now, where did we put our raisins..?
