The long and cold winter days have come, and one of the defining trends of the 2021 luxury fashion year is: gorpcore, also known as hikingcore or camping chic. Yep, campers everywhere are decking out in the latest hiking gear and clothing to keep warm and dry on those treks out in the wilderness. Gropcore has become a sort of a new word for those who enjoy the great outdoors, taking traditional clothing and layering it with versatile items such as climbing boots, protective wear, and outerwear like thick gloves and over pants. This trend is truly unique and we can’t wait to see more of it!
In the meantime, gorpcore is taking the mainstream by storm with the all-important, “whoops” factor. It is a combination of the old school trench coat with modern functionality, making it perfect for the genteel woman who still wants to look her best but who is also feeling adventurous. So many women are choosing this classic, yet cool trench coat as their go-to piece this fall, and you can too. The good news is that there are a ton of gorpcore menswear options out there this fall and winter, including many new gorpcore layered clothing pieces that include pullover sweaters and gorgette blazers, all in classic military-style color combinations. These gorgette blazers are also a great way to stay warm on those long nights out in town; just add your wool socks and a button down collar and you’re all set for a night on the town.
Other hot fashion trends for 2021 include denim dye that can be applied in layers to give an aged look; bright floral prints are also popular for this fall’s menswear scene.
