How did it get its name? Gorpcore refers to hiking or outdoor gear that is consciously transformed into everyday wear. Its name comes from "Good ol' Raisins and Peanuts", a colloquial expression used by hikers. Plush sweaters, nylon windbreakers, waterproof trousers and hiking backpacks are all items whose design and popularity have been revived and are making a huge splash on the street and on the catwalk today.

Many of the founding brands of the movement have now gone mainstream, but there are many that have not. Some brands are better known to hikers and campers than to fashion week visitors.

What does gorpcore look like? It sits outside the realms of normcore and techwear - but just on the edge enough to cause some confusion and discomfort. Normcore and techwear will never be confused with gorpcore, but the reverse is not necessarily true. Consider it the foundation of gorpcore - in terms of brands, pieces, philosophy and lineage.

The first thing you'll probably notice about gorpcore is the colours. They're all similar earth tones - brown, khaki, black, camouflage patterns - reflecting the style of traditional camping gear. Nike's revamped ACG range reinforces this - since the departure of techwear titan Errolson Hugh, the emphasis has been on earth tones and retro-inspired bright colours.

Key ingredients: puffy pieces, layering, logos, breathable basics, baggy trousers, wool and plush sweaters, windbreakers.

At the heart of gorpcore is the idea that nothing is more stylish than clothes that aren't actually stylish. Practical and functional clothing is the pinnacle, as these pieces have traditionally been designed for activities that require specialised clothing such as skiing, hiking, running and mountain biking.
