Gorpcore culture, born from the outdoors, has definitively conquered the city, blending performance and style: technical materials, versatility, and durability have become key purchasing drivers in contemporary streetwear. At the same time, brown tones (cinnamon, tawny, chocolate) lead FW25 looks, riding the wave of "quiet luxury" in an urban version. In parallel, baggy jeans return as protagonists for their comfort and revamped 90s aesthetic, featuring wide silhouettes and layered styling.
Palette and materials
FW25 pushes a warm color story: from cinnamon to chocolate, earth tones dominate outerwear, lifestyle pants, and boots, with peaks expected in October and persistence throughout the season. Materials focus on tactility and performance: faux fur, fine lace, and especially breathable and water-repellent technical fabrics that migrate from outdoor to street. The result is a texture-first aesthetic, where the mix of surfaces makes more of a difference than all-over prints.
Silhouette and fit
Denim becomes extra wide: wide-leg baggy styles, structured volumes, and layering with bomber and shell jackets create decisive yet wearable proportions. Footwear sees a lightening: growth of slim-sole sneakers as a sign of departure from chunky maximalism, while remaining urban. Outerwear favors technical shell and soft-shell, oversized fleece, and functional layering systems typical of Gorpcore.
Details that matter
In 2025, "less logo, more details" wins: custom patches, labels, and hardware shift the focus to micro-elements of perceived quality in streetwear. Utility first: cargo pockets, technical zipper pulls, stoppers, and taped seams communicate real function beyond aesthetics. Heritage twist: equestrian and preppy references contaminate the street, giving space to boots and traditional pieces remixed with urban codes.
How to wear it now
• Baggy + bomber: medium-wash baggy jeans with a slightly oversized bomber and slim-soled sneakers to balance volume and cleanliness.
• Brown on brown: tonal layering in three shades of brown (outer, mid-layer, bottom) for a sophisticated "quiet street" look.
• Tech layering: lightweight shell jacket over a hoodie and water-repellent cargo pants, completed with urban trail sneakers for a city-outdoor hybrid.
