Integrating GORPcore
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GeTB8w2FQ_6ogTSPFHpt_d5mH7z63Dwd54HTr_L6qYk/edit?usp=sharing
I’ve been working on this for a bit. It’s a small guide on adding elements of GORPcore to your personal style, taking the approach of swapping items that you’re already working with. I wanted to introduce some defining pieces of the style, give a starting point for expansion, and offer some ideas about integrating GORPcore into an existing wardrobe.
This is: for dipping your toes into GORPcore from an aesthetic, not purely functional, point of view. It is about tapping into the visual cues and connotations of the style.
This is not: the end-all-be-all of GORPcore. There are other subgenres, specifics, and killer fits that I missed or did not have the space to include.

GORP fucks i'll definitely be coming back to this
Awesome idea for a guide. This is great!
Great post
This pic goes hard
Great guide, tons of inspo and I love the specific recs for bridging the gap between GORP and adjacent styles
Fantastic guide! Lots of info and inspo packed into a short article. Really covers a lot of ground. Will be coming back to this! And the mix is exactly what I needed on this friday afternoon. Thanks for making it and sharing!
Great article, the inspo album + tunes is a nice touch. Look forward to what else you put out!
Hey @walter_crunkite you're in there!!
my dream come true
walt's integration of gorp ideas in casual contexts is really emblematic of this kinda style imo. This article is making me think about getting a puffer
Yo holy shit I was slowly working on a similar thing!! Love to see it :greatpost:
Thanks for the feedback y'all, it's much appreciated. I went ahead and migrated it over to google docs to make the saving/viewing process a bit easier!
There's a lot that I've missed tbh, if you'd like to add what you've got DM me a good email and I'll send you an editor link!
Will do when I organize it a bit more haha
Ofc friend!
