Functional Apparel Elevated to Everyday Wear
As spring approaches, the fashion industry is flooding with products perfect for creating a 'Gopcore look.' Gopcore is a compound word combining 'Gop,' meaning nuts eaten during outdoor activities, and 'Normcore,' which refers to ordinary and comfortable looks. It describes practical fashion that elevates functional clothing into everyday wear.
On the 14th, Kolon Sports recommended several outerwear items that easily complete the Gopcore look. Kolon Sports' 'Packlight Jacket' is an item ideal for creating a street mood Gopcore look. It is made with Gore-Tex membrane material on the inside of the outer fabric, replacing the lining, which adds a thin yet lightweight feel. Additionally, it is designed with a brimmed hood integrated into a high neck, allowing the hood string to be tightened to protect the face, and enabling coordination with sunglasses or goggles worn over it.
The Fisherman Jacket is a product resulting from a collaboration between the menswear brand Henry Cotton and the military-based brand Spectator. It is a fishing jacket that blurs the line between fishing wear and everyday clothing, making it a special item for the Gopcore look.
The 'Military Mods Coat' released by the menswear brand Series is a long-length field-style hooded coat that extends below the thighs. It features pockets attached to the sleeves and both sides, which are key details of the Gopcore look, and strings on the hood, waistline, and hem. Its casual design allows for free coordination without restrictions on bottoms or shoes.
To create an impactful Gopcore look, wearing the 'Anorak Jacket' from the premium fishing wear brand Weather Monster is recommended. Made from 100% nylon ripstop fabric, it is comfortable to wear as both outerwear and a top. Additionally, it has ventilation holes under the armholes for temperature control and band details inside the cuffs, allowing you to feel the Gopcore look’s characteristic abundance of hardware details.
