The gorpcore aesthetic has made it to the mainstream, as proven by the number of Salomon slip-on sneakers taking over the streets, from LA to New York.

With a rising interest in outdoor activities and shows like USA's new national park set thriller Anna Pigeon, it's no surprise that function and fashion have blended to create this emerging trend.

Gorpcore blends together utilitarian pieces with stylish details, including trending colors and silhouettes. Brands like Columbia, REI, Patagonia, Merrell, and Salomon perfectly epitomize the aesthetic.

Think waterproof trail shoes in bold color combinations, baggy track pants made from swishy nylon, heat tech puffers, and polarized sunnies reminiscent of the Y2K era.

Whether you're planning a camping or hiking trip, heading out on a hot girl walk, or just want an excuse to dress comfortably, you don't have to be the outdoorsy type to try out the gorpcore trend.

Columbia is the epitome of gorpcore—and so is this classic fleece. Ideal for layering, this soft and warm zip-up has a high-neck collar and adjustable drawstring hem.

The fashion girls aren't reserving these slip-on Salomon's for the hiking trails. Instead, they're styling these waterproof trail shoes with puff-sleeve tops and maxi skirts.

This cute and cozy colorblock sherpa adds a playful feel to your functional outfit. Choose from tons of fun colorways.

Part fishing trip part Y2k, these polarized sunnies have an ultra-lightweight construction, UV-blocking lenses, and grippy details while still looking totally cool.

Crafted from quick-dry and water-repellent nylon, this sporty cap with a stay-in-place chin strap will come in handy weather you're going on a neighborhood walk or exploring a national park.

With its relaxed fit and split hemline, this quilted puffer helps block out wind and cold while looking incredibly stylish.

These baggy nylon pants feature an old school swishy feel and Adidas-inspired stripes. A stretchy drawstring waistband makes them extra comfortable.

With their chunky, dad core silhouette, these sneakers are designed with arch support cushioning and breathable inserts. A versatile pick, they pair with so many looks.

You can neatly roll this insulated puffer jacket into itself to save major space in your bag or suitcase. It's got several pockets, including a hidden one inside.

Made from a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, windbreaker is chic, modern, and comes in tons of muted hues.
