Gorpcore – Hike X Style

When outdoorsy, camping looks meets streetwear style, that’s Gorpcore. Its name is taken from the acronym “gorp” which stands for “Good ‘ol raisins and peanuts” (aka trail mix), an essential food group for hikers and campers. Even if you’re only heading to a study session, this sporty look is not only comfortable, but totally on trend.

Its oversized baffles and boxy style have made The North Face 1996 Retro Nupste an icon. Inspired by the design lines of the original ‘96 version, this jacket offers serious warmth thanks to the down insulation and water-resistant exterior.

Cargo pants are a Gorpcore trend must-have! Known for their practicality when going out on hikes, they’re now the most fashionable item, they’re both stylish and comfortable. You can dress them up or dress them down, cargo pants are here to stay and are a must-have back-to-school item this season.
