Okay, why is EVERYONE in my city rocking Patagonia puffers like they just hiked the Himalayas? :thinking: Anyone else noticed this gorpcore takeover or is it just me? :evergreen_tree::cityscape:

Yesss :raising_hands: It’s like outdoorsy meets city chic. I swear half my feed is just fleece vests and cargo pants. But are we vibing or nah? :woman_shrugging:

Gorpcore is just normcore’s crunchier cousin. :camping: It’s all about that adaptability — city today, trail tomorrow. Who doesn’t love multifunctional fits? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Mixed feelings, TBH. :thinking: On one hand, comfy as heck. On the other, why does it look like they’re prepping for a storm while in Starbucks? :cloud_with_rain:

It’s the tech, bruh. Water-resistant, windproof, AND it has mad pockets for your phone, AirPods, snacks… okay, that’s dope. :joy::mobile_phone::chocolate_bar:

Can we talk about the color palettes tho? Earth tones everywhere! :globe_showing_europe_africa: Brown, olive, navy… Makes me feel like a walking forest.

Gorpcore = Gear + Hardcore. :joy: Seriously, who’s buying these brands just for a ‘fit check’ and not actual hiking? :national_park:

Blame TikTok! :mobile_phone::chart_increasing: The gorpcore aesthetic racked up millions of views and now it’s the unofficial city uniform.

Pro tip: Thrift those fits! :recycling_symbol: Hit up Goodwill or local vintage stores. Found a North Face jacket for $20 last week, legit!

Question tho: Does gorpcore work with Jordans? Asking for a friend. :running_shoe:

I mean, as long as it’s sustainable and looks good, I’m in. :seedling::100: Anyone got good brands to check besides the usual suspects?

Arc’teryx is the way to go if you’re tryna splurge. :money_with_wings: Not just a flex, the gear actually holds up on real hikes too.

Let’s not forget how comfy this trend is. It’s like wearing a duvet outdoors. :person_in_bed: What’s not to love? :relieved_face:

All this talk of gorpcore, but can we just appreciate how it’s bringing more awareness to quality over quantity in fashion? :light_bulb:

Can’t wait for the day when someone actually asks me if I’m going camping just cuz I’m in my gorpcore 'fit. :rofl::evergreen_tree:

Someone asked for a definition, right? Gorpcore: An urban aesthetic that blends outdoor hiking gear into daily streetwear. And yeah, it’s aesthetic AF. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::open_book:
