Weatherproof Trend | Gorpcore Chic

In a world of social distancing we’ve found ourselves fading into nature. Enter 2022, era of the gorpcore chic – a way of dressing that emphasizes utilitarian garments which specifically impart comfort and weatherproofing. Those who belong to the gorpcore chic aesthetic are generally accepting of all things natural and encourage a healthy relationship with the world around them. The color palette is shades of gray, green, black, brown, and blue, relying on inspo from hiking and an appreciation for the outdoors. The key is casual/practical with an Avante Garde approach. While fashion generally lies low on the priority list for ‘serious’ hikers there’s nothing trivial about this trend’s practical physical properties.
