Gorpcore – Six Styles to Nail the Hiker Look at Sweaty Betty
Only just got your head around normcore? It's time to shrug off the minimalist approach in favour of a bigger-is-better, fashion-as-function movement. Fear not, Sweaty Betty have the answer…
Meet gorpcore. It's a look that gained traction in 2020, when lockdowns saw more of us walking for fun. Now, the outdoor explorer aesthetic has gone mainstream. Styled by celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Blake Lively, the gorpcore trend is all about layering up in impressively sized puffers and practical, pocket-packed jackets. Want to get in on the action? Start here…
Utility Jacket
Gorpcore is all about looking like you could take on a big hike at a moment's notice. And our Utility Jacket definitely fits the bill. For starters, it's got seven pockets - more than enough for all your snacks and other wayfinding essentials. And if you're only trekking to the shops? Hey, that's cool too.
Birkenstock Classic Arizona Sandals
Does the slip-on style of these Birkenstocks nail the nonchalant get-up-and-go feel you're looking for? Yes. Plus, the pin-buckle fastening amps up the practicality. And practicality = gorpcore 101.
