Utilitarian and functional, we look at how celebrities and influencers redefine hiking gear.

Named after the staple food source for hikers around the globe &ndash; Good ol&rsquo; Raisons and Peanuts, the Gorpcore aesthetic saw a recent bout of popularity in recent times, now emboldened through runways and street styles. 
Gorpcore often borrows styles from different elements of mountain wear, camping gear, and techwear, eventually making a statement with staples like fleece jackets, parkas, gore-tex jackets, utilitarian vests, and cargos. 
With a style characterised by functional outdoor gear, who says they can only be worn for urbanite activities in the mountains?&nbsp;

The duality of this fashion-forward look boasts functionality and trendy relevance, reaching new heights in the wardrobes of many. What else is great about this mountain wear aesthetic? Cosy and functional materials like waterproof nylon that usually come in the form of baggy silhouettes, providing ease of movement while shielding you from aggressors with these weather-appropriate pieces. Though it was first made popular within the menswear community, the genderless trend gradually changed towards more feminine styles with the introduction of cargo skirts and crop tops. 
Below, we take a closer look at how influencers and celebrities trek into the world of Gorpcore.

Get camping chic with Bella Hadid&rsquo;s utilitarian and Y2K-inspired ensemble. Layering is essential to Gorpcore. Mixing up colourful crochet accessories is a great way to add a pop of colour with a witty twist.&nbsp;

Another iconic Gorpcore look of Bella Hadid&rsquo;s. The model reveals her midriffs with a pair of low-waisted parachute pants and a crop top.

Cargo skirts are definitely having a moment right now. We look at how Amelia Gray Hamlin styles the micro trend with a comfy tank top and cardigan for a laidback look.

It is undeniable that a cropped fleece jacket makes any outfit 10 times edgier. As the ultimate trans-seasonal fix, it gives the right amount of warmth without leaving you too bundled up.&nbsp;

Elevate your utilitarian style with an earth-tone skirt. It provides the perfect balance to the technical construction of the windbreaker, whilst ensuring its performance and functionality.

The bulkier, the better. Allow the practicality to be fully on show with an oversized jacket and wide-fit cargo trousers. All you need is to throw on a bulky crossbody bag and some chunky trainers to tie the look together.&nbsp;

Recontextualising the intersection between techwear and elegance, pair a chic black midi-length skirt with a sprinkle of an outdoorsy element for a more metropolitan aesthetic. Taking the look to the next level, opt for a classic pair of loafers for a feminine touch.
