Gorpcore Is the Cool-Girl Trend Making Hiking Gear Stylish

Gorpcore blends together utilitarian pieces with stylish details, including trending colors and silhouettes. Brands like Columbia, REI, Patagonia, Merrell, and Salomon perfectly epitomize the aesthetic.

Think waterproof trail shoes in bold color combinations, baggy track pants made from swishy nylon, heat tech puffers, and polarized sunnies reminiscent of the Y2K era.

Whether you’re planning a camping or hiking trip, heading out on a hot girl walk, or just want an excuse to dress comfortably, you don’t have to be the outdoorsy type to try out the gorpcore trend.
