The actual word for those who take functional outdoorsy apparel like hiking boots or waterproof jackets and wear them as fashion statements outside of their intended purpose is gorpcore. The word comes from G.O.R.P - an acronym for Good Old Raisins and Peanuts - referring to the best bits of trail mix (no, we\u2019re not kidding).<\/p><p>But outdoorsy fashion is not quite the same as gorpcore. We\u2019re not talking about rocking your climbing gear as a fashion statement in Wetherspoons. We\u2019re talking about functional fashion that celebrates the outdoors and the connection you have with it, like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/product\/organic-cotton-tarot-card-t-shirt-the-earth\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>The Earth Tarot Card T-shirt<\/u><\/a> or a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/product\/rewild-yourself-sustainable-hoodie-dark-edition-unisex\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Rewild Yourself Hoodie<\/u><\/a>. Fashion that celebrates the spirit of adventure - <em>what\u2019s that called?<\/em><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ywnztmym5psk0utfoxvgil8ruwbn6e7hugikz3nsqufasxbz.png.png?w=1140&amp;project=earth-and-aura-389381&amp;v=2\" alt=\"ywnztmym5psk0utfoxvgil8ruwbn6e7hugikz3nsqufasxbz.png.png?w=1140&amp;project=earth-and-aura-389381&amp;v=2\" \/><\/p><h3><strong>From Trail to Town: The Rise of Functional Style<\/strong><\/h3><p>Probably before you had people wearing timberlands and lumberjack shirts as fashion statements, you had workers wearing jeans or dungarees. The point is, this kind of outdoorsy fashion isn\u2019t the first time functional clothing has been made vogue. Just look at blokes in the pub wearing football shirts (if one can consider them functional or vogue). We actually talk a lot about this concept in our blog <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/blog\/why-are-we-so-obsessed-with-the-black-t-shirt\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Why are we so obsessed with the Black t-shirt<\/u><\/a><\/p><h3><strong>Key Elements of the Outdoorsy Look<\/strong><\/h3><p>First of all, we\u2019re talking about <em>comfort<\/em>. Soft fabrics, cosy hoodies, comfortable shoes. What\u2019s not to love? You can move as free as as woodland sprite and feel good doing it. Shoes that keep your toes warm and that you can stand in all day no problem.<\/p><p>Secondly, even if you\u2019re not actually out in the wilderness, you\u2019re in Tesco or the office, your look nods to nature. We\u2019ve got earthy clay reds, soft blues, greens, browns and creams to choose from all adorned with designs that celebrate the Earth.<\/p><p>Now, let\u2019s talk accessories. The outdoorsy look is completed with accessories that don\u2019t just look good - they\u2019re useful. Beanies, caps and scarves for all weather protection. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/product\/rewild-yourself-twin-handle-roll-top-backpack\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Backpacks<\/u><\/a> that can carry more than just a toothpick and your ID - water bottles, snacks, cameras, more snacks. And functional extras like sunglasses, fitness watches and gloves.<\/p><p>You now look like you love the world no matter what she\u2019s gunna throw at you.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/bi53uhgqaiexhmq7japieestpghcz4enfqyrfpfku46zdz9y.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"bi53uhgqaiexhmq7japieestpghcz4enfqyrfpfku46zdz9y.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" \/><\/p><h3><strong>How to Style Outdoorsy Fashion for Everyday Wear<\/strong><\/h3><p>It\u2019s all about mixing practicality, comfort and a nice dose of inside jokes. We like to emphasise organic cotton, comfort and sustainable production for clothes that feel good on your body and conscience, all day. Inside jokes, you say?? Well, we love a motif inspired by<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/collection\/fantasy-t-shirts-and-hoodies\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u> fantasy and folklore <\/u><\/a>that you wouldn\u2019t necessarily get, unless you get it, you know? We feel these really foster community in a secret club kinda way. Look for pieces that straddle the line between \u201coutdoor gear\u201d and \u201ccasual everyday wear\u201d so they are versatile for no matter what you get up to.<\/p><p>Try matching oversized hoodies and jumpers with fitted bottoms like leggings or jeans. Mix soft textures with other soft textures to avoid an outfit that looks too plain. And ultimately, comfort is okay. In fact, in today\u2019s current style climate, it works better than anything too overly thought out.<\/p><p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/collection\/sustainable-clothing\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Check out our full range here<\/u><\/a><\/p>","urlTitle":"what-is-outdoorsy-fashion-actually-called","url":"\/blog\/what-is-outdoorsy-fashion-actually-called\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/what-is-outdoorsy-fashion-actually-called\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/earthandaura.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-outdoorsy-fashion-actually-called\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1746105890,"updatedAt":1765311065,"publishedAt":1765311064,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":380373,"name":"Earth and Aura"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/exikatlqzebbe4yxcpyhqqqezgfc09ih3iurygegpmnqibkq.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/exikatlqzebbe4yxcpyhqqqezgfc09ih3iurygegpmnqibkq.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/exikatlqzebbe4yxcpyhqqqezgfc09ih3iurygegpmnqibkq.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"What is Outdoorsy Fashion Actually Called?","metaDescription":"We obviously love it, that\u2019s why we\u2019re here, but does anyone actually know the term for that cute, functional, comfortable outdoorsy fashion look?","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":51047,"title":"What's the Biggest Threat to Marine Life?","url":"\/blog\/whats-the-biggest-threat-to-marine-life\/","urlTitle":"whats-the-biggest-threat-to-marine-life","division":380373,"description":"Over here at Earth & Aura we\u2019re big fans of the sea and the free therapy it provides, and what would it be if it wasn\u2019t for the marine life teaming beneath its waves?","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/o71sswi99trzx7oinhxmcjotworr8ht7rod9qlqfecjuauuq.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/o71sswi99trzx7oinhxmcjotworr8ht7rod9qlqfecjuauuq.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":47268,"title":"Our Top 5 Hiking Shirts","url":"\/blog\/our-top-5-hiking-shirts\/","urlTitle":"our-top-5-hiking-shirts","division":380373,"description":"We often get asked about our number one all-time favourite t-shirt for hiking and honestly, this might be the only issue we\u2019re completely divided on!
