Gorpcore has been a pervasive fashion trend for the past few years, but it is now experiencing something of a revamp. Typical gorpcore pieces include puffer jackets, cargo pants and vests, hiking boots, and rain jackets. Gorpcore clothing brands such as The North Face, Arc’teryx, and Patagonia produce pieces that are designed to withstand the rigors of the elements. This emphasis on functionality and sustainability caught the attention of the fashion world, leading to style tastemakers like Bella Hadid and A$AP Rocky sporting gorpcore pieces. Even high fashion brands like Prada, Dior, and Jil Sander have made outdoor garments part of their permanent collections.
