I’m from Brazil so Bloke Core is just a different way of calling the aesthetic that most Latino American countries been doing for decades, especially Brazil with the high influence of soccer, I’m very excited to see the rise of my culture in to the mainstream. Keep up with the great job you been doing bud
This is really interesting! I think one of the positive things about the internet is that it has made everyone's cultures more ecclectic. Hopefully in the future more and more cultures's day to day fashion will be seen as fashionable.
Not being on TikTok and never having been on it I believe has saved my wallet and my personal style. I watch a ton of fashion videos on RUclips but the crowd here seems to be less chaotic and more intentional about fashion. Obviously people still buy into trends here but it's not at the unhealthy pace that it seems to be on other platforms. We also have dialogue here which is nice.
Living in a big city, I feel like it takes a lot of effort to have a personal style that isn’t a part of some preexisting trend. I watched y2k, workwear, and heavy metal tees make a huge resurgence right around the time I started dipping into those categories. You really have to risk looking stupid to stand out.
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon Just do your thing, your style is evolving with time and you'll have to be cringe sometimes to figure out, what works and what doesn't. If youre too scared to try you'll always look average.
Important to also remember how much geography affects trends. Blokecore is mostly common in footballing countries, gorpcore is literally a necessity in any place that has lots of rain or long winters, etc. Archive is a different beast imo because to be into archiving you need to have money, time, knowledge or someone to have pass down a collection. For example, I have a lot of Balenciaga, YSL, J.W. Anderson or Helmut Lang archive but the reality is most of them come from my dad’s closet. It sucks to say but archive fashion is a true privilege because it allows you to keep out of trends and truly curate a wardrobe that is either timeless or extremely specific to yourself.
I was gonna say this. I live in rural UK and for years have been wearing berghaus shell jackets, zip off cargos and salomons. Gorpcore is literally how most people walking their dogs look around here.
The point you made around 4:20 about focusing on building your own personal style and your own uniform was such a great point. Get to know and embrace yourself and what you like. Fuck what’s trendy, especially when it’ll likely only be desirable for a year or two
I live in Japan in a fairly young city where many of the people I see out are in their 20s-30s. I have seen so many different types of fashion styles it’s crazy. Every single one of these styles I have seen and do see everyday. And EVERYONE rocks it. I ALWAYS feel underdressed, even if I at first feel confident with what I’m wearing when heading out. I swear, it’s like everyday I have walking in town is like a runway or my explore page on Instagram and it’s actually kinda intimidating sometimes.
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I don’t live in Tokyo for reference, but I think it’s because my city is the youngest city in Japan in terms of age demographics, and one of the only cities that is experiencing population growth.
Bloke core is every middle aged man most weekends in the UK. And has been since I was little. The fact that American tik tokers are trying to make this a trend is hilarious
Being yourself and discovering your own personal style is great but I hate how people love to pretend and say “Trends don’t matter” yet they really do. Trends always die and are reborn and that helps people identify what they’ll stick to and what they consider a “phase” so they actually matter.
That’s a great point! I forget what video it was in, but I said a similar thing along the lines that trends should open you to new ways of expanding your style
It also depends heavily on where you live. Here in Southern California, that archive retro look has definitely been in for a good 2 years now. I see lots of people with vintage retro looking clothes daily, along with retro 80/90s sneakers. Lots of Adidas Sambas/Forums, Various New Balances/ Retro Runners, Birks/Clogs and Doc Marten style boots and loafers. I’ve personally never seen anyone wearing either Bloke or Gorpcore here though.
@@brunchmuncher51 bloke and gorp wear also isn’t a mainstream trend like this video or people perceive it to be. It’s a reality shared within people with the same internet in fashion. You’ve fed your algorithm to give you more of that content to make you think it’s what everyone is wearing
@@mickonYT I mean yeah, though I don't think this vid really portrayed them as mainstream, just only the most recent tiktok fashion fads for people to hop on, which was why they were in the video. Tiktok is far away from reality.
I think the main reason of this talks and “problems with virtual reality trends” are that WE TALK ABOUT IT. There are so many content and rubbish on the internet, people can’t focus on something. Back in the days, people have only tv, own mindset and celebrities for some fashion and I think it’s beautiful. Thanks a lot for the video!
I appreciate your POV. Fashion is conceptual and people literally waste their money and time trying to keep up with trends. Forget fashion trends and wear clothes that exintuate your personal style 😎
In Poland the most popular sneaker wright now is the panda dunk, a lot of people wear relab hoodies here and the most worn bottoms are straight fit jeans.
As someone who has been wearing Gorpcore clothes for more than 4 years, it's weird that it is popular now, since most people used to clown people like me buying good quality parkas and protective gear not so long ago.
This is a good point! I always valued quality over style, so I bought them parkas or track jackets as well. I didn’t notice any significant price increase. Ofc everything got more expensive, but it’s still “moderate” compared to other things. I think that’s just inflation, and the fact that the euro got weaker in general.
I live in Downtown Chicago so I do see see trends more often than probably most places, but the popular trends I usually see at very specific locations - fashion pop ups, shoe releases etc. I think the problem with most trends is that they may not be functional to the average person's daily lifestyle. It's okay to take a stab at certain new styles because it is exciting but you have to consider what your day to day looks like when implementing them into your everyday wardrobe. For example the Jjjound Asics were cool because I actually walk alot so it made sense.
That’s really cool you get to go to fashion pop ups and shoe releases. I agree on trends, finding trends that line up with your current day to day fits are much easier to incorporate into your style long term
i live in a large town in Australia and for the most part of 2022, i have seen 1 pair of birckenstock bostons and only a handful of pairs of 550's including my own pair. zero gorpcore or any other big trends have really had an impact here.
I’m from Australia, live in the Sydney area. We Aussie’s are pretty laid back so that goes in hand with what we wear. Casual fits nothing to fancy, we wear a lot of sportswear like Nike, adidas, Fila etc. Nike TN’s, reverse panda dunks, and north face puffer jackets are pretty popular here.
Gorpcore and Birks looks like my Midwestern high school circa 2012-2016. We literally had a class called "adventure ed" which was just camping trips, spelunking and rock climbing. It literally made sense for folks to dress like that.
Firstly, great video. Watched a few of yours now and they’re very insightful. Secondly, seeing trends in person completely depends on where you are, for example if you go to Soho in London, everyone is wearing gorpcore, blokecore, grown up streetwear etc. So it’s not correct to say that people aren’t really wearing them, they just aren’t as big as they may be perceived on social media
tiktoks algorithm can act like an echo chamber for trends. some trends online night seem overdone but once you go outside this bubble you'll notice how niche it really is.
Living in a relatively large city you definitely see more of these online trends materialized on the streets. Nowhere as often as online but still they pop up here and there
Dude you need to travel to more fashionable places. I live in Nor Cal and people have been wearing patagonia, northface, and arcteryx (gorpcore) for 15+ years because they're such a big hiking/camping/outdoor culture here. If you go to LA you see all the tiktok 2022 trends being worn by all the gen z's. Go to NYC or Paris and you'll see a mix of things with some high fashion and even some archive stuff.
I am also from New England, New Hampshire specifically, and I actually disagree that trends aren't seen 'in the wild'. I moved to Worcester for school a few years ago, and even though it isn't that major of a city the people here dress better on average than at home, often incorporating current trends. In the times I have visited even larger cities, such as Boston, New York, or LA, I have noticed that this effect seems to scale proportionately to the size or 'importance' of the city.
Depends where you live. In Maine as you said you're not going to see really any trend. I'm in NYC area and I've seen most of these trends besides blokecore and gorpcore (i dont see how this trend is even pratical unless you live in a rainy/rocky area). birksenstocks and asics 100% popular here rn, so the trends that are more catered to streetwear. I agree that NB 550's are more of an online trend from my perspective so totally know what you're getting at. I can see blokecore being more popular in europe since more soccer/football jerseys are floating around there. Some of these trends are def more environment based, while others truly do live mostly on the internet. Anywhere you go though, the average person is wearing jeans, basic sneakers, and a flannel/graphic tshirt/hoodie/ bomber jacket. Something in that realm. I think the basic outfit is still very much a 2010's basic outfit.
Even then NYC trends can't really be considered real imo, NYC is just a magnet for shallow people who think they're doing something special and also has tons of fashion influences there. Blokecore, I'm just giving my opinion on it with no basis at all but I think it's just another shallow tiktok trend that UK and any eu person does not care about. I can't see the typical *real* football fan trying that hard to fit in with blokecore.
@@GrimNHTl you forgot the nike blazers that every basic ass hoe has these days, literally everyone be having them aside from maybe the south where what you listed is more popular from what I've seen.
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon oh word! i’m in central/western massachusetts and i see a lot of nike and fog essentials. decent amount of smaller brands like teddy fresh, LOTS of vintage/thrifted, especially thrifted workwear, i see a lot of skaters in vintage levi’s and dickies. the richer college students tend towards balenciaga and louis vuitton but never in like a hypebeast way, usually pretty understated stuff. nike definitely dominates in shoes though, depending on how rich someone is it’s either forces, jordans, or dunks. lots of vans and chucks too, and a lot of docs when it starts to cool down
Literally see 550s everyday and Birkenstocks are literally all people have worn all summer. Blokecore is something that I've literally just found out has been named. I just call it wearing a football kit.
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I'm in a place called Kalmar, Sweden with a population of 75-85k. Birkenstock are literally glued to feet here and the 550 is the shoes of choice for the uni goers.
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I have no idea I've only lived here for 3 years. It was very much a Adidas/Yeezy town when I first moved here. But going back to London where I'm originally from I see alot of new balance. It was a very hipsterish shoe brand and now definitely feels more mainstream.
Living in Geneva, a pretty big and rich city, i can definitely say I see a lot of « TikTok trends » out there. Wether its archive (unsurprising for such a fashion loving city) or gorpcore (also understandable considering the mountainous whereabouts), they’re not that rare. So yeah, really depends on your location
I'm from Italy, and you see these trends from time to time. Bloke Core has always been a part of the european culture, and nearly everyone has worn soccer jerseys at least as a young teenager . Also Gorpcore elements are often worn in my area (because I live in the mountains lol), but they kinda have been always worn here, for example salomons or the north face. But most of the people who want to be a part of fashion here still wear oversized hoodies, cargo pants or baggy jeans with Dunks, Air Forces or Jordans, sometimes maybe New Balances or Asics. But i've never seen anyone actually wear an insane archive outfit out, not even in the big Italian cities like Rome.
I live in a small city that it has a lot of luxury tourism and the trends that I see here are everything designer (for the wealthy people) or everything Inditex for the rest. I’m starting to define my style and it’s a mix of classic menswear pieces and avant-garde. Wide cropped pants, dress shirts, blazers, work jackets, knit jumpers, derby shoes, combat boots, high top sneakers… I’m influenced by trends for sure like most of the people, but i try not to follow them, I’m more focused on create my personal style.
We are neighbours but not in the same country so I agree totally with this vid. I see mostly what you said but you forgot Skeechers, Crocs, Bloke core is definitely a thing up north but here’s the thing, ppl are doing it without knowing it. Same thing with gorpcore, I’ve been doing it for years because it freaking rain or snow a lot around here, There’s a lot of superstars instead of samba. Archived fit is a bit subjective, I see a few ppl here and there but it’s usually not done intentionally to be trendy.
I live in NYC and I can confirm YES , that’s how they are dressed … I go out every single day for many reasons and yeah people wear GorpCore in summer too
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon i wear cargos and baggy jeans (i skate) i wear sk8 hi's and i own 1 pair of jordans i wear brands like primitive, nike , alien workshop and some bbc icecream.
I don’t get the bloke core one cuz I’ve been doing that since I was little and I’m scared if I continue to do it people will think I’m doing that bloke core thing
In Quebec City I see a lot of digital trends come to life in specific places in the city. I go to a wealthy school and the majority of girls follow Pinterest trends while a lot of guys follow hype beast trends.
I live in NYC and I literally haven't seen one gorp core fit. Maybe more people in Manhattan have them even tho I haven't seen them but the other 4 boroughs definitely do not. Shit has to really blow up for certain styles to go main stream. The vitage clothes trend definitely has blown up in NYC. I do see a lot of vintage tees and am starting to see shoes other than dunks, AJ1s, and AF1s around now. Baggier clothing made a comeback with this vintage style as well.
i think that sometimes the howl fashion comunity is fucked up because if u are wearing something that many other peaople really like and wear u will soon be considerd a hypebeast. But i think even if trends will die and then others will rise, some people will stick to some parts ot trends and throgh out more and more trends find their own style.
I agree! The problem with the term Hypebeast is really it’s pointed at popular trends, but it’s more so about flexing money rather than the actual clothes
The skater look is the biggest thing out here in cali: wide fit pants (carhartt, dickies, levis, etc), skateshoes or dunks, and oversize tee or pullover.
Drew Joiner and Frugal Aesthetic are the goats. Fashion and style needs to be fun and accepting and they both bring great content with positive vibes. There is no shortage of gate keepers in fashion so its refreshing to see something different.
It's really interesting to me as you mentioned being in Maine the regional differences in "trends" being in Florida Bloke Core is seen all over but I don't even know if the people wearing this even know if it's a trend or if they are just rocking their personal fave teams. My friends in Seattle were wearing Gorpcore not knowing it to be a trend but just a part of life with the given weather. I am also in my 30s so there is a touch of nostalgia seeing the Boston clogs come back and it's fun to grab pieces that you've already worn once again. When it comes to trends the nostalgia and availability of the trend is what really makes me smile I feel as though these "trends" are easily thriftable or in your dad or grandparents closets. #NoOneWearsAsicsbutMyDad lol 😂 Love the video
Thanks for sharing what you’ve seen with blokecore and gorpcore around the country! It is pretty interesting how different regions naturally make specific looks more popular. Let your dad know he’s got good taste😂 thanks for watching
personaly I havent seen any of these styles living in a big city, except for "archive" fashion, as there are tons of thrift stores around my city and makes finding unique pieces really affordable. Luckily I've been off TikTok so my style development has been a lot slower and more related to my growth as a person rather than what TikTok tells me is cool. It does suck having been into brands like rick owens and see them gain the hype that brands like supreme used to have, as I'm not sure if the people coming from TikTok really see the same values in the clothes as those who found it for its special design and avant guard appeal when avant guard wasn't popular and seem as something only people deep into the fashion rabithole found as the most enjoyable though. Thats just my take on it though.
TikTok’s take on fashion could be a video on its own. I don’t blame you for not watching the fashion content on there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and incite!
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon oh yeah ofc, fashion has been something that has played a large role in my life for a while now. glad to see someone making good content on their takes on it.
Since I moved to Alps region in Savoie and Haute Savoie, I dress gorpcore even though I've learned the word literally today. I dress this way because I never know if my cycle ride for shopping wouldn't end somewhere next to a waterfall or a random mushroom hunt on a nearby mountain. I dress practically and I'm usually ready for adventures. My husband dresses the same since he was a kid, because his family always took him into mountains. This is just a local look and has nothing to do with trends. On top of that, these kinds of clothes usually serve long and are quality built. Some of my husband's clothes are 15-20 years old and they are still in good condition. I hope that this kind of "fashion" stays around. It's comfy, it's easy to style, it's durable and polyvalent.
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon Gorpcore for sure, cause of weather, it’s been around since before the newly created title. Avant Garde archival wear is here to stay as well. The Shein/Vlone + Dunk catergory will not even though it’s “mainstream.”
I noticed 2022 is the year where a lot of past trends minus those awful 2016 skin tight skinny jeans are everywhere, you could get away with 70s, 80s, 90s plain early 2000 stuff like baggy jorts as well as Y2k styles and you won't stand out
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I actually prefer it since it makes fashion more diverse also somewhat helps with the environment since people are holding onto a lot of their pieces and wearing it in a different way instead of throwing it away when trends die
Idk what yall looking at outside but from my point of view the thrifting 'trend' is one that's getting people into wearing what they really like the fits I have seen outside are yes, a little bit of that on tik tok but also a lot of what I don't even see 'trending' people outside really feeling themselves and I'm loving that.
That’s cool! It’s common where I live in Maine with older people as well

How is this a surprise? Fashion trends are happing ion the hubs. Of course you don't see archive trends being really out in a small town or only very rarely. But all the mentioned trends are huge in European hubs like Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Paris. And even in these cities the majority dresses "normal". Everybody else here is wearing 550s, soccer jerseys and North Face/ Patagonia/ Arcteryx all the time.
I thought it would be interesting to talk about online trends that seem like they’re everywhere yet aren’t where I’m at. I understand people are going to wear this in cities, but I’ve seen many comments also saying people don’t see a specific trend in cities like NYC👍
I live and LA and only in certain areas you see those styles. Like Melrose, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills. People can't wear jackets when the temps are over 100f. Fashion is very niche and you might see some young ppl wearing it but no teen can afford that.
where i live (finland) i sometimes see gorpcore / archive outfits, its just that most people do not care about fashion and trends like that / maybe just know a little bit about some jordans etc.
Idk why every is getting arcteryx for gorpcore... it's expensive af.. all the while I can get a tactical jacket for less that 100 USD which is equally warm and similar in look..
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I've been wearing gorpcore since something like 2013, pretty much since I was a teenager. TBH the whole point of gorpcore is just for comfort, cheap, warm and being away from expensive brand. You are probably going to have a better affect and time getting those clothes in an actual outdoor retail.
Around me, I see bootcut jeans for women coming back. I see some new balance girlies but not much. Distressed jeans were everywhere from May to August but it feels dead now
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon my personal favourites are minimalist, athleisutre, preppy (depending on the situation) . I used to be very into street wear circa 2012-2015
as someone who lives in victoria (close to vancouver, where arcteryx is based) I legitimately do see people in school dressing up with gorpcore inspiration
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon well for one, you can get the Uniqlo Blocktech jackets which are a really good budget arcteryx alternative. I also always recommend shopping at MEC for deals. Not sure if MEC exists in the states. As far as shoes go, Oboz has some pretty good hiking shoes that are reasonably priced and fit the "gorpcore" aesthetic imo.
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I also just wanna add that the arcteryx crossbody bags are actually relatively cheap. Wait for them to restock and you can get them from $30-60 depending on the model
@@Swux thanks for the recommendations, I checked out Oboz for the first time and like the look of them. Hadn’t heard of MEC before, but it looks like they aren’t in the US unfortunately. I’ll look into those arcteryx bags!
Wel where i live fashion is all over the place everyone is wearing something completely different than the other for example looking at the street style of 2022 is like looking at a grey wall with all the possible and impossible shades of grey and trying to tell them apart thats how i feel about the fashion in my home town
None of these fashion 'trends' look good. It's literally cheap fast fashion being made into a lifestyle ideal; nobody who isn't in their first year of being interested in clothes should be looking at these products collectively. I'm glad you addressed this in the trend lifecycle section somewhat, because none of this is respectable fashion to anyone but kids online lol. - 10 years in the industry
Where I live in England “gorpcore” technically is the most popular, but that’s been the case since before the trends. Where I live people (mostly youth) wear hiking clothing brands such as Mountain equipment, Rab, Montane and The North Face, no idea why though.
I literally make the vast majority of my clothes out of old clothes and it looks absolutely nothing like the trends Im inspired by, but thats mostly because Im a terrible sewer (like sewing, not like sewage)
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I dont really know, I started when I was 8 with some horrific dresses that I couldn't understand why my mum wouldn't wear kasgjdflb
My style - always loafer, not sperrys - but some nice blue, olive green or pressed cole Hans, rock ports or Allen Edmonds. Top that with chinos, always not in black or khaki, preferably bonobos, Joe’s or J. Brand. Then add a theory v neck merged with a Pendleton flannel or cashmere cardigan.
I live in the north of germany and i can‘t confirm the info about who is wearing these kind of styles, if you walk through the city you can at least see 5-10 people who aktivly participate in those trends
Classic look man. Its recreated across the whole world right now. Wherever you go in the world I garuntee youll see vintage relaxed tee, athletic casual short shorts and some nice name brand kicks. International kids just be wearing the fake ones but still pulling off their look. Thats the real basic trend going on and I think its here to stay for a while.
Wow that sucks I didn’t know bc, I’ve been wanting to buy the N shoes for years... bc I have big @ss feet. Yet, I still haven’t gotten around to buying a pare
I live in America.....I go out all the time. Literally never seen anyone wearing New Balance, Carhartt, shoulder bags, etc...... And I'm in NASHVILLE. People seem to wear the same stuff. Boots, blue jeans and Basic Tee-shirts.
I agree with your premise , cause there ain't no kinda way, no how NB retired dad mall walking in mom jeans with a brown leather belt and a Walmart poly polo shirt TUCKED IN is hype.
Im from vancouver island in a university city. I see a lot of 550s, to the point were I don't even wanna rock them. gorpcore was pretty popular in the spring and I'm assuming will come back this fall since we do live in a rain forest climate on the north west shore, so even old people dress gorpcore without realising. Bostons were pretty popular this summer too. didn't see many asics. Streetwear and athleisure are probably the most popular style here but also a decent amount of thrifted and skate style. don't think I've ever seen someone rock bloke core here
People never really wear what they wear online, everyone is in the most basic fits ever irl, they’re too scared to wear it anywhere other than in their rooms for a video
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon in Florida you never really see cool flamboyant outfits, everyone’s too scared to move from the norms and basics graphic tees with skinny jeans and forces
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon cargo shorts, normal cotton shorts, Uniqlo tees, various Uniqlo colored socks(beige, slate, olive etc) the occasional cargo pants, vans collabs such as the JJJJound and notre, panda dunks, aj3 muslins, sambas, chuck 70s, various loose fitting neutral tees like navy, black, beige, brown, slate grey, etc, trying to get more flannels, short sleeve button down shirts. Trying to get into scarves and thin knitted cardigans
If this helps, nobody dresses like me unless I’m wearing cargo pants, it seems like people in my general area are trying to reach into the comfortable aesthetic like me, but it’s mostly over saturated Jordan’s, skinny jeans, hoodies and random shirts. Nothing too crazy, socks are usually all just Nike too if they’re wearing shorts. People either go all in or don’t care at all with their fits. I don’t find any Unique styles on my fellow college students either. The samba trend is seeping into my area for sure tho, I’ve seen quite a few. I only wear my dunks when I’m not trying to make a fit, never knew I’d step outside to see 5+ pairs or more each day at school
crazy i bought a pair of gel kayano 14s around august and they just now getting trendy cus of the jjjound collab, but i’m gonna still wear them till i can’t no more
550's seemed to be a huge trend but I hardly saw them worn in person outside of a few people. That said I've seen many panda dunks at my school in northern california
I work at a pretty big outdoor-chain. I like the outdoor style. But I'm a scout and outdoor-lover. I don't get why people from the cities wants to walk in such style when they have not seen a real forest....
I live in The Netherlands in a rich city and I see trends come and go everywhere. It depends on the area/country where you live. When I still lived with my parents in a small town, there where 0 fashionable or trendy people. Everyone there wears light blue skinny jeans and a white tshirt lol
I live in rural midwest so I don't really see anyone wear anything with style lol. People aren't into clothing like that where I live. Basically I could wear something and I'd say 70% of the people never heard of the brand or seen the look
I wouldn’t consider myself a hypebeast per se. I’m wearing Yeezys and oversized clothes since 2018, but more because I like the aesthetics than the hype surrounding it. I had to laugh when you’ve talked about the hiking stuff being a trend rn, bc I have a few pieces of that stuff in my wardrobe for ages. It’s functional and you get worth out of your money.
Ngl I think that as u said that you don’t live in a even slightly fashion oriented city is why you don’t see this trends. I swear I go to the mall in Orange County & everyone is wearing the same corny streetwear outfit
I'm an old 🐦 so I'm catching up on what the kids are wearing. Fashion is a cycle. The crop-top with baggy jean look is back in my area and made me chuckle.
I like those niche fashion trends. At least it makes you stand out from mass, which is good for me. Trying new trends and styles helps with trying what suits you and shit
People on IG would lose their mind for the Carhartt jacket I took from my Dad that's older than me. Normal people see it and think I'm wearing a dirty old jacket with pipe paint all over it
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon It’s a tough industry to work in. Very fast paced, never ending work. I work in Accounting though but that’s the experience for all other departments as well. I’m exiting the industry next week actually. It sucks, I love fashion but I hate working in it
I never saw a single arcteryx jacket or product in real life. Even on a college campus. And only reason I’ve seen archive pieces is cause I have one friend that loves Rick owens
The reason I don’t see these trends is because I don’t go out

The point you made around 4:20 about focusing on building your own personal style and your own uniform was such a great point. Get to know and embrace yourself and what you like. Fuck what’s trendy, especially when it’ll likely only be desirable for a year or two
Thank you, Haran! Glad you agree
But what the average person likes varies from year to year too
@@LT-zs5nn yeah that’s true. It can never hurt to have good basics though (vintage jeans, tees, basic hoodies)
I live in Japan in a fairly young city where many of the people I see out are in their 20s-30s. I have seen so many different types of fashion styles it’s crazy. Every single one of these styles I have seen and do see everyday. And EVERYONE rocks it. I ALWAYS feel underdressed, even if I at first feel confident with what I’m wearing when heading out. I swear, it’s like everyday I have walking in town is like a runway or my explore page on Instagram and it’s actually kinda intimidating sometimes.
That’s really interesting, thanks for watching! Is there a reason people are more fashion focused where you live?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I don’t live in Tokyo for reference, but I think it’s because my city is the youngest city in Japan in terms of age demographics, and one of the only cities that is experiencing population growth.
@@ieroshd7912 that sounds a lot different than where I live. Do you like it there?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon yes, it’s really fun! Also, imo fashion is also more accessible here, especially in terms of price.
@@ieroshd7912 oh that’s awesome! I’d love to travel to Japan sometime in the future
Bloke core is every middle aged man most weekends in the UK. And has been since I was little. The fact that American tik tokers are trying to make this a trend is hilarious
Being yourself and discovering your own personal style is great but I hate how people love to pretend and say “Trends don’t matter” yet they really do. Trends always die and are reborn and that helps people identify what they’ll stick to and what they consider a “phase” so they actually matter.
That’s a great point! I forget what video it was in, but I said a similar thing along the lines that trends should open you to new ways of expanding your style
It also depends heavily on where you live. Here in Southern California, that archive retro look has definitely been in for a good 2 years now. I see lots of people with vintage retro looking clothes daily, along with retro 80/90s sneakers. Lots of Adidas Sambas/Forums, Various New Balances/ Retro Runners, Birks/Clogs and Doc Marten style boots and loafers. I’ve personally never seen anyone wearing either Bloke or Gorpcore here though.
bloke and gorp are way too niche and distant from normal clothing to where it just doesn't have a strong enough appeal.
Thanks for sharing what you’ve seen! It’s been cool seeing the difference in people’s comments
@@brunchmuncher51 bloke and gorp wear also isn’t a mainstream trend like this video or people perceive it to be. It’s a reality shared within people with the same internet in fashion. You’ve fed your algorithm to give you more of that content to make you think it’s what everyone is wearing
@@mickonYT I mean yeah, though I don't think this vid really portrayed them as mainstream, just only the most recent tiktok fashion fads for people to hop on, which was why they were in the video. Tiktok is far away from reality.
I think the main reason of this talks and “problems with virtual reality trends” are that WE TALK ABOUT IT. There are so many content and rubbish on the internet, people can’t focus on something. Back in the days, people have only tv, own mindset and celebrities for some fashion and I think it’s beautiful.
Thanks a lot for the video!
Yeah I agree. TikTok in my opinion made it so much easier to share trends with mass amounts of people. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate your POV. Fashion is conceptual and people literally waste their money and time trying to keep up with trends. Forget fashion trends and wear clothes that exintuate your personal style 😎
Thank you, Kinyun! I agree with you, my video releasing today will talk about this
Bait trends are becoming a real problem - they come and go so fast these days it's impossible to know what's worth putting money into
That's why you don't chase trends but build your own personal style.
In Poland the most popular sneaker wright now is the panda dunk, a lot of people wear relab hoodies here and the most worn bottoms are straight fit jeans.
same in Europe. Are we still alowed to wear skinny pants tho?
@@dariusiii2922 I personally like wearing baggy jeans so i would say at least go for slim but if you like skinny then thats fine to
@@dariusiii2922 bro tbh i’m happy that the skinny jeans are not in trend anymore, they are so uncomfortable.
Yeah panda dunks are everywhere in America too
szerokie pory i zjechane dunki kurwa mac xD nie po to oskarek inwestuje klocka zeby w tym nie chodzic przez 3 lata
As someone who has been wearing Gorpcore clothes for more than 4 years, it's weird that it is popular now, since most people used to clown people like me buying good quality parkas and protective gear not so long ago.
Have you noticed any changes in the brands you’ve been buying from where they’ve catered to the new audience?
This is a good point! I always valued quality over style, so I bought them parkas or track jackets as well. I didn’t notice any significant price increase. Ofc everything got more expensive, but it’s still “moderate” compared to other things. I think that’s just inflation, and the fact that the euro got weaker in general.
@@arnoanruchig4872 thanks for letting me know, cool to see others experience similar situations
Same here.
all of a sudden ppl started looking like you hahah
I live in Downtown Chicago so I do see see trends more often than probably most places, but the popular trends I usually see at very specific locations - fashion pop ups, shoe releases etc. I think the problem with most trends is that they may not be functional to the average person's daily lifestyle. It's okay to take a stab at certain new styles because it is exciting but you have to consider what your day to day looks like when implementing them into your everyday wardrobe. For example the Jjjound Asics were cool because I actually walk alot so it made sense.
That’s really cool you get to go to fashion pop ups and shoe releases. I agree on trends, finding trends that line up with your current day to day fits are much easier to incorporate into your style long term
I love the uniform or personal style comment like that’s really the best way to do it
Thanks! Glad it added to the video
i live in a large town in Australia and for the most part of 2022, i have seen 1 pair of birckenstock bostons and only a handful of pairs of 550's including my own pair. zero gorpcore or any other big trends have really had an impact here.
That’s interesting! It’s so different depending where people live. Do you see past trends still being worn in your town?
I think that this happens in all niches. What you see in social media is a highly stratified piece of the whole society.
That makes sense, thanks for watching Lucas!
I’m from Australia, live in the Sydney area. We Aussie’s are pretty laid back so that goes in hand with what we wear. Casual fits nothing to fancy, we wear a lot of sportswear like Nike, adidas, Fila etc. Nike TN’s, reverse panda dunks, and north face puffer jackets are pretty popular here.
That’d be an interesting video on how your personality/mentally affects your style. Thanks for watching!
@Afilou lo korim be kolnoa thanks for sharing! What do you like to wear?
Gorpcore and Birks looks like my Midwestern high school circa 2012-2016. We literally had a class called "adventure ed" which was just camping trips, spelunking and rock climbing. It literally made sense for folks to dress like that.
That sounds like fun, I’m taking a similar outdoors class rn. Thanks for watching, Mariah!
Firstly, great video. Watched a few of yours now and they’re very insightful. Secondly, seeing trends in person completely depends on where you are, for example if you go to Soho in London, everyone is wearing gorpcore, blokecore, grown up streetwear etc.
So it’s not correct to say that people aren’t really wearing them, they just aren’t as big as they may be perceived on social media
Appreciate the support! Yeah the comments have shown a very wide range of trends based on location. Thanks for watching, Mark!
When I was in Tivoli in Copenhagen this summer, everyone was wearing wide legged light denim jeans and af1
That’s interesting, I really see way more skinny jeans than wide legged jeans here. Definitely a lot of af1s tho
tiktoks algorithm can act like an echo chamber for trends. some trends online night seem overdone but once you go outside this bubble you'll notice how niche it really is.
Definitely agree, thanks for watching!
Living in a relatively large city you definitely see more of these online trends materialized on the streets. Nowhere as often as online but still they pop up here and there
That makes sense. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment, Sam!
Dude you need to travel to more fashionable places. I live in Nor Cal and people have been wearing patagonia, northface, and arcteryx (gorpcore) for 15+ years because they're such a big hiking/camping/outdoor culture here. If you go to LA you see all the tiktok 2022 trends being worn by all the gen z's. Go to NYC or Paris and you'll see a mix of things with some high fashion and even some archive stuff.
I think (know) you’re right, Martin! Hopefully the channel keeps growing and I can see more places
In France, in my city Bordeaux, the skate has a big influence and a lot of people wear baggy jeans with dunks
Any brands you see these skaters wear a lot?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon carhartt, polar and a lot of vintage
I am also from New England, New Hampshire specifically, and I actually disagree that trends aren't seen 'in the wild'. I moved to Worcester for school a few years ago, and even though it isn't that major of a city the people here dress better on average than at home, often incorporating current trends. In the times I have visited even larger cities, such as Boston, New York, or LA, I have noticed that this effect seems to scale proportionately to the size or 'importance' of the city.
Thank for letting me know! I’ll keep my eye out next time in New Hampshire
In the uk is all about the nike tech fleece, af1s, jordan 1s and jordan 4s
That’s cool, I rarely see Nike tech where I’m at. In high school it was really only athletes wearing it
Depends where you live. In Maine as you said you're not going to see really any trend. I'm in NYC area and I've seen most of these trends besides blokecore and gorpcore (i dont see how this trend is even pratical unless you live in a rainy/rocky area). birksenstocks and asics 100% popular here rn, so the trends that are more catered to streetwear. I agree that NB 550's are more of an online trend from my perspective so totally know what you're getting at. I can see blokecore being more popular in europe since more soccer/football jerseys are floating around there. Some of these trends are def more environment based, while others truly do live mostly on the internet.
Anywhere you go though, the average person is wearing jeans, basic sneakers, and a flannel/graphic tshirt/hoodie/ bomber jacket. Something in that realm. I think the basic outfit is still very much a 2010's basic outfit.
Bro even the asics are so rare to see, salomons even rarer. All I see are dunks, Aforce1, other jordans, and Dr martens.
Even then NYC trends can't really be considered real imo, NYC is just a magnet for shallow people who think they're doing something special and also has tons of fashion influences there. Blokecore, I'm just giving my opinion on it with no basis at all but I think it's just another shallow tiktok trend that UK and any eu person does not care about. I can't see the typical *real* football fan trying that hard to fit in with blokecore.
@@GrimNHTl you forgot the nike blazers that every basic ass hoe has these days, literally everyone be having them aside from maybe the south where what you listed is more popular from what I've seen.
Really great comment that was fun to read! You nailed it with the breakdown
in massachusetts im seeing a lot of the same as you see in maine. VERY occasional blokecore and a lot of skate wear.
Oh that’s sick, haven’t seen many New England comments! Do you notice any brands that are specifically popular rn?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon oh word! i’m in central/western massachusetts and i see a lot of nike and fog essentials. decent amount of smaller brands like teddy fresh, LOTS of vintage/thrifted, especially thrifted workwear, i see a lot of skaters in vintage levi’s and dickies. the richer college students tend towards balenciaga and louis vuitton but never in like a hypebeast way, usually pretty understated stuff. nike definitely dominates in shoes though, depending on how rich someone is it’s either forces, jordans, or dunks. lots of vans and chucks too, and a lot of docs when it starts to cool down
@@xSmythosx yep, I’m seeing the same stuff. Not any real designer pieces though. Thanks for watching and chatting with me
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon yeah man no worries! video’s a banger!
As someone who lives in NYC I see these trends on the subway
Thanks for sharing! Any trends that you really like or dislike?
Honestly, a highly interesting convo for where fashion is at rn that I didn’t think about. Again another great video man!
Thanks Sean for your continued support, really appreciate it!
Literally see 550s everyday and Birkenstocks are literally all people have worn all summer. Blokecore is something that I've literally just found out has been named. I just call it wearing a football kit.
That’s cool, are you in a popular area?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I'm in a place called Kalmar, Sweden with a population of 75-85k. Birkenstock are literally glued to feet here and the 550 is the shoes of choice for the uni goers.
@@LONKALUKSV that’s really interesting how your location really makes the outfits differ. Have new balances always been popular in Kalmar?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I have no idea I've only lived here for 3 years. It was very much a Adidas/Yeezy town when I first moved here. But going back to London where I'm originally from I see alot of new balance. It was a very hipsterish shoe brand and now definitely feels more mainstream.
@@LONKALUKSV thanks for letting me know, that’s interesting.
Blokecore is common especially in England.
It’s probably because there is a massive football culture over here and it’s cheap/accessible.
or because, and dis gone sound brazy but, maybe and i mean JUST MAYBE it says bloke in the name😨😨😨😨
@@unclechuckles108 🤣fr
Yeah all the comments on blokecore seem to say it’s just normal in Europe. It’d be interesting if regional trends became more popular on social media
Living in Geneva, a pretty big and rich city, i can definitely say I see a lot of « TikTok trends » out there. Wether its archive (unsurprising for such a fashion loving city) or gorpcore (also understandable considering the mountainous whereabouts), they’re not that rare. So yeah, really depends on your location
That’s super interesting, thanks for commenting and watching!
I'm from Italy, and you see these trends from time to time. Bloke Core has always been a part of the european culture, and nearly everyone has worn soccer jerseys at least as a young teenager . Also Gorpcore elements are often worn in my area (because I live in the mountains lol), but they kinda have been always worn here, for example salomons or the north face. But most of the people who want to be a part of fashion here still wear oversized hoodies, cargo pants or baggy jeans with Dunks, Air Forces or Jordans, sometimes maybe New Balances or Asics. But i've never seen anyone actually wear an insane archive outfit out, not even in the big Italian cities like Rome.
That’s interesting, thanks for the comment! That’s pretty cool some of the biggest trends of bloke/gorpcore aren’t anything new by you
I live in a small city that it has a lot of luxury tourism and the trends that I see here are everything designer (for the wealthy people) or everything Inditex for the rest.
I’m starting to define my style and it’s a mix of classic menswear pieces and avant-garde. Wide cropped pants, dress shirts, blazers, work jackets, knit jumpers, derby shoes, combat boots, high top sneakers…
I’m influenced by trends for sure like most of the people, but i try not to follow them, I’m more focused on create my personal style.
Those pieces sound really cool together! Have fun continuing to find your style
We are neighbours but not in the same country so I agree totally with this vid.
I see mostly what you said but you forgot Skeechers, Crocs, Bloke core is definitely a thing up north but here’s the thing, ppl are doing it without knowing it. Same thing with gorpcore, I’ve been doing it for years because it freaking rain or snow a lot around here, There’s a lot of superstars instead of samba. Archived fit is a bit subjective, I see a few ppl here and there but it’s usually not done intentionally to be trendy.
True, that’s a good point with a lot of the popular styles rn. They’ve been widely worn before, but now are popular with new groups of people
I live in NYC and I can confirm YES , that’s how they are dressed … I go out every single day for many reasons and yeah people wear GorpCore in summer too
The sweat just beads off the goretex
jordans,sweatpants and a hoodie. or jeans/shorts with a hoodie and converse (florida)
they call that style
Is this what you like to wear?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon i wear cargos and baggy jeans (i skate) i wear sk8 hi's and i own 1 pair of jordans i wear brands like primitive, nike , alien workshop and some bbc icecream.
@@speedyghost4605 awesome👌
I don’t get the bloke core one cuz I’ve been doing that since I was little and I’m scared if I continue to do it people will think I’m doing that bloke core thing
Barely anyone will know or care, it looks good!
u gotta talk bout jewelry trends too
Looks like a few people want this! I’ll look into it👍
In Quebec City I see a lot of digital trends come to life in specific places in the city. I go to a wealthy school and the majority of girls follow Pinterest trends while a lot of guys follow hype beast trends.
That’s interesting, thanks for sharing. Do you participate in any trends?
I live in NYC and I literally haven't seen one gorp core fit. Maybe more people in Manhattan have them even tho I haven't seen them but the other 4 boroughs definitely do not. Shit has to really blow up for certain styles to go main stream. The vitage clothes trend definitely has blown up in NYC. I do see a lot of vintage tees and am starting to see shoes other than dunks, AJ1s, and AF1s around now. Baggier clothing made a comeback with this vintage style as well.
Thanks for letting me know your experience in NYC! A lot of New York comments have said they see all these trends all the time
i think that sometimes the howl fashion comunity is fucked up because if u are wearing something that many other peaople really like and wear u will soon be considerd a hypebeast. But i think even if trends will die and then others will rise, some people will stick to some parts ot trends and throgh out more and more trends find their own style.
I agree! The problem with the term Hypebeast is really it’s pointed at popular trends, but it’s more so about flexing money rather than the actual clothes
The skater look is the biggest thing out here in cali: wide fit pants (carhartt, dickies, levis, etc), skateshoes or dunks, and oversize tee or pullover.
I love this look just based on the comfort. What do you think about it?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I like it, it's kinda the uniform in nor cal
Drew Joiner and Frugal Aesthetic are the goats. Fashion and style needs to be fun and accepting and they both bring great content with positive vibes.

Agreed! They both have great attitudes towards fashion. Thanks for watching, Filip
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon for sure. Binging your content. Keep up the great work 😄👏!
It's really interesting to me as you mentioned being in Maine the regional differences in "trends" being in Florida Bloke Core is seen all over but I don't even know if the people wearing this even know if it's a trend or if they are just rocking their personal fave teams. My friends in Seattle were wearing Gorpcore not knowing it to be a trend but just a part of life with the given weather. I am also in my 30s so there is a touch of nostalgia seeing the Boston clogs come back and it's fun to grab pieces that you've already worn once again. When it comes to trends the nostalgia and availability of the trend is what really makes me smile I feel as though these "trends" are easily thriftable or in your dad or grandparents closets. #NoOneWearsAsicsbutMyDad lol 😂
Love the video
Thanks for sharing what you’ve seen with blokecore and gorpcore around the country! It is pretty interesting how different regions naturally make specific looks more popular. Let your dad know he’s got good taste😂 thanks for watching
personaly I havent seen any of these styles living in a big city, except for "archive" fashion, as there are tons of thrift stores around my city and makes finding unique pieces really affordable. Luckily I've been off TikTok so my style development has been a lot slower and more related to my growth as a person rather than what TikTok tells me is cool. It does suck having been into brands like rick owens and see them gain the hype that brands like supreme used to have, as I'm not sure if the people coming from TikTok really see the same values in the clothes as those who found it for its special design and avant guard appeal when avant guard wasn't popular and seem as something only people deep into the fashion rabithole found as the most enjoyable though. Thats just my take on it though.
TikTok’s take on fashion could be a video on its own. I don’t blame you for not watching the fashion content on there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and incite!
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon oh yeah ofc, fashion has been something that has played a large role in my life for a while now. glad to see someone making good content on their takes on it.
Since I moved to Alps region in Savoie and Haute Savoie, I dress gorpcore even though I've learned the word literally today. I dress this way because I never know if my cycle ride for shopping wouldn't end somewhere next to a waterfall or a random mushroom hunt on a nearby mountain. I dress practically and I'm usually ready for adventures.
My husband dresses the same since he was a kid, because his family always took him into mountains. This is just a local look and has nothing to do with trends.
On top of that, these kinds of clothes usually serve long and are quality built. Some of my husband's clothes are 15-20 years old and they are still in good condition. I hope that this kind of "fashion" stays around. It's comfy, it's easy to style, it's durable and polyvalent.
Most of what I see is active wear for older adults 30+ but for younger adults/teens it’s usually street wear and skate style outfits
In New York City, I see a lot of “Gorpcore”, Shein Girlys mixed with Dunks, Loafer + Cardigan boys, & the Vlone/Gallery Dept/Amiri boys
You think any of these looks will stay long term in NYC?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon Gorpcore for sure, cause of weather, it’s been around since before the newly created title. Avant Garde archival wear is here to stay as well. The Shein/Vlone + Dunk catergory will not even though it’s “mainstream.”
@@saevista agreed, thanks for watching and chatting with me!
I definitely see these trends a lot more in Birmingham and London (the big cities) but you almost never see archive fashion.
That’s for letting me know, that’s really interesting! I would assume archive would be the hardest to see anywhere out of the trends I mention
I noticed 2022 is the year where a lot of past trends minus those awful 2016 skin tight skinny jeans are everywhere, you could get away with 70s, 80s, 90s plain early 2000 stuff like baggy jorts as well as Y2k styles and you won't stand out
Yeah I agree. Wearing like generational styles has become very big. Do you enjoy this or want to see something new?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I actually prefer it since it makes fashion more diverse also somewhat helps with the environment since people are holding onto a lot of their pieces and wearing it in a different way instead of throwing it away when trends die
@@bobateaboy04 true, definitely promotes buying vintage pieces
Idk what yall looking at outside but from my point of view the thrifting 'trend' is one that's getting people into wearing what they really like the fits I have seen outside are yes, a little bit of that on tik tok but also a lot of what I don't even see 'trending' people outside really feeling themselves and I'm loving that.
Yeah that’s a good point. I think it’s easier to find pieces you really like when buying vintage. Do you have any favorite recent pickups?
Gorpcore can definitely be seen wearing by old people in Korea. They all walk around in hiking cloth i kind of want to wear that too😅
That’s cool! It’s common where I live in Maine with older people as well
How is this a surprise? Fashion trends are happing ion the hubs. Of course you don't see archive trends being really out in a small town or only very rarely. But all the mentioned trends are huge in European hubs like Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Paris. And even in these cities the majority dresses "normal". Everybody else here is wearing 550s, soccer jerseys and North Face/ Patagonia/ Arcteryx all the time.
I thought it would be interesting to talk about online trends that seem like they’re everywhere yet aren’t where I’m at. I understand people are going to wear this in cities, but I’ve seen many comments also saying people don’t see a specific trend in cities like NYC👍
I live and LA and only in certain areas you see those styles. Like Melrose, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills. People can't wear jackets when the temps are over 100f. Fashion is very niche and you might see some young ppl wearing it but no teen can afford that.
That’s interesting, thanks for the comment! Most California area comments have made it seem like these styles are very basic and everywhere
where i live (finland) i sometimes see gorpcore / archive outfits, its just that most people do not care about fashion and trends like that / maybe just know a little bit about some jordans etc.
Cool, that seems like the majority of comments!
Idk why every is getting arcteryx for gorpcore... it's expensive af.. all the while I can get a tactical jacket for less that 100 USD which is equally warm and similar in look..
People love buying into the hype. If it didn’t have the logo or signature look then much less people would be willing to spend the retail price
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I've been wearing gorpcore since something like 2013, pretty much since I was a teenager. TBH the whole point of gorpcore is just for comfort, cheap, warm and being away from expensive brand. You are probably going to have a better affect and time getting those clothes in an actual outdoor retail.
Around me, I see bootcut jeans for women coming back. I see some new balance girlies but not much. Distressed jeans were everywhere from May to August but it feels dead now

None of these fashion 'trends' look good.

Nah😂Drew and Frugal Aesthetic both have great views when it comes to clothes
Where I live in England “gorpcore” technically is the most popular, but that’s been the case since before the trends. Where I live people (mostly youth) wear hiking clothing brands such as Mountain equipment, Rab, Montane and The North Face, no idea why though.
Do you wear any of this style or is your style something different/personal?

My style - always loafer, not sperrys - but some nice blue, olive green or pressed cole Hans, rock ports or Allen Edmonds. Top that with chinos, always not in black or khaki, preferably bonobos, Joe’s or J. Brand. Then add a theory v neck merged with a Pendleton flannel or cashmere cardigan.
That’s interesting, do you watch any streetwear content on RUclips?
In france, I see lots of people with 550, ASICS, Birkenstock and blockcore … among the young people. So here trends are actually followed by youngs

I’m still seeing the graphic/vtg tee along with short-shorts, and foam runners where I’m at.
And still seeing dunks
Yeah, if you swap the foam runners with blazers, af1s, or dunks it’s very similar here
Classic look man. Its recreated across the whole world right now. Wherever you go in the world I garuntee youll see vintage relaxed tee, athletic casual short shorts and some nice name brand kicks. International kids just be wearing the fake ones but still pulling off their look. Thats the real basic trend going on and I think its here to stay for a while.
In Michigan it’s nothing but big Balenciaga shoes and whatever shirt/hoodie whould be considered expensive
Oh wow, I wouldn’t expect to see Balenciaga. What do you like to wear?
It’s trendy online but not in the real world. I’ve never seen someone wear 550s in real life but I can’t not see half of a bar wearing Jordan 1s.
Wow that sucks I didn’t know bc, I’ve been wanting to buy the N shoes for years...
bc I have big @ss feet. Yet, I still haven’t gotten around to buying a pare
I live in ky and I do see people wearing this kinda stuff, not gorpcore, but the whole baggy pants and new balance look is pretty popular here.
Interesting, do you wear this style too?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon no I don't😂click on me real quick you'll see what I like to wear. I still like my skinny jeans and vans
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I also like wearing stuff like blackcraft, stay sick, teen hearts etc... basically that alt streetwear look
@@bennyfrank8755 oh sick, sounds like you know your personal style well!
I live in America.....I go out all the time. Literally never seen anyone wearing New Balance, Carhartt, shoulder bags, etc...... And I'm in NASHVILLE. People seem to wear the same stuff. Boots, blue jeans and Basic Tee-shirts.
Nashville..... the capital of fashion.........
@@notoriousfilipe If you read the last sentence you'd see that my point was , it depends heavily on where you are. Smh
That’s surprising, I would think carhartt would be popular in Nashville. Thanks for watching!
@@notoriousfilipe this made me laugh too hard😂😂
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon My mistake. Carhartt is popular but only as Work wear. It's not worn in a fashion sense
I agree with your premise , cause there ain't no kinda way, no how NB retired dad mall walking in mom jeans with a brown leather belt and a Walmart poly polo shirt TUCKED IN is hype.
Middleagedadcore up next📈
I saw a lot of these trends lol. Especially around my uni in London.
That’s cool, the comments have varied a lot by where people live!
Im from vancouver island in a university city. I see a lot of 550s, to the point were I don't even wanna rock them. gorpcore was pretty popular in the spring and I'm assuming will come back this fall since we do live in a rain forest climate on the north west shore, so even old people dress gorpcore without realising. Bostons were pretty popular this summer too. didn't see many asics. Streetwear and athleisure are probably the most popular style here but also a decent amount of thrifted and skate style. don't think I've ever seen someone rock bloke core here
Awesome, thanks for letting me know. There’s a huge difference based on area in the comments!
People never really wear what they wear online, everyone is in the most basic fits ever irl, they’re too scared to wear it anywhere other than in their rooms for a video
That’d be an interesting video idea too! I would think location/norms play a huge role in this
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon in Florida you never really see cool flamboyant outfits, everyone’s too scared to move from the norms and basics graphic tees with skinny jeans and forces
@@khydo what do you like to wear?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon cargo shorts, normal cotton shorts, Uniqlo tees, various Uniqlo colored socks(beige, slate, olive etc) the occasional cargo pants, vans collabs such as the JJJJound and notre, panda dunks, aj3 muslins, sambas, chuck 70s, various loose fitting neutral tees like navy, black, beige, brown, slate grey, etc, trying to get more flannels, short sleeve button down shirts. Trying to get into scarves and thin knitted cardigans
If this helps, nobody dresses like me unless I’m wearing cargo pants, it seems like people in my general area are trying to reach into the comfortable aesthetic like me, but it’s mostly over saturated Jordan’s, skinny jeans, hoodies and random shirts. Nothing too crazy, socks are usually all just Nike too if they’re wearing shorts. People either go all in or don’t care at all with their fits. I don’t find any Unique styles on my fellow college students either. The samba trend is seeping into my area for sure tho, I’ve seen quite a few. I only wear my dunks when I’m not trying to make a fit, never knew I’d step outside to see 5+ pairs or more each day at school
crazy i bought a pair of gel kayano 14s around august and they just now getting trendy cus of the jjjound collab, but i’m gonna still wear them till i can’t no more
How’s the comfort on them?
550's seemed to be a huge trend but I hardly saw them worn in person outside of a few people. That said I've seen many panda dunks at my school in northern california
Oh that’s interesting, pretty similar experience to me. A lot of comments from NYC say they see 550s a lot
ive like bostons for a while, my mom has always liked them and wanted me to have a pair
People have said they’re super comfortable in the comments
I work at a pretty big outdoor-chain. I like the outdoor style. But I'm a scout and outdoor-lover. I don't get why people from the cities wants to walk in such style when they have not seen a real forest....
You gotta admit it looks cool and for that reason along people want to wear it without adopting the lifestyle
I live in The Netherlands in a rich city and I see trends come and go everywhere. It depends on the area/country where you live. When I still lived with my parents in a small town, there where 0 fashionable or trendy people. Everyone there wears light blue skinny jeans and a white tshirt lol
That’s cool you were able to see the difference in styles. Welcome to the channel!
I've always just gone for whatever is the most comfortable and fits most comfortably.
Yeah I’ve leaned into comfortable items a lot more recently. I just noticed I wear things that feel good way more
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon exactly..Light weight purse too..no heavy purses lol
That’s why I’m my own trend I don’t really buy things or involve my decision around something that’s trending or really anything on social media 🤷♂️
That seems to be a great way from feeling self conscious in your outfits
I live in rural midwest so I don't really see anyone wear anything with style lol. People aren't into clothing like that where I live. Basically I could wear something and I'd say 70% of the people never heard of the brand or seen the look
That’s interesting, have their been any specific outfits that people don’t understand or stare at?
I wouldn’t consider myself a hypebeast per se. I’m wearing Yeezys and oversized clothes since 2018, but more because I like the aesthetics than the hype surrounding it. I had to laugh when you’ve talked about the hiking stuff being a trend rn, bc I have a few pieces of that stuff in my wardrobe for ages. It’s functional and you get worth out of your money.
Yeah having products that can last years is great! I have similar pieces
Ngl I think that as u said that you don’t live in a even slightly fashion oriented city is why you don’t see this trends. I swear I go to the mall in Orange County & everyone is wearing the same corny streetwear outfit
Yeah it seems to differ based on location! I’d love to travel more and see the differences
I'm an old 🐦 so I'm catching up on what the kids are wearing. Fashion is a cycle. The crop-top with baggy jean look is back in my area and made me chuckle.
Thanks for watching, Monica! Any trends you’d like to see come back?
Wooden chunky high heels that have less than an inch in platforming. I'm old, so I still see platformed heels as stripper shoes.
I like those niche fashion trends. At least it makes you stand out from mass, which is good for me. Trying new trends and styles helps with trying what suits you and shit
Yeah I agree it’s way easier to stand out where I live by just wearing the popular trends this year. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
I live in Prague and the general public just wears whats in Zara/HM or second hand.
Fast fashion is huge here too, thrifting is another thing that’s become more popular, but the majority of people still buy from these brands
in Austria we got the standart UK menace type beat: jeans or techfleece with a coat and tn's or black forces
Thanks for watching! Do you wear these styles?
nah
People on IG would lose their mind for the Carhartt jacket I took from my Dad that's older than me. Normal people see it and think I'm wearing a dirty old jacket with pipe paint all over it
The perfect if you know you know flex
Trying to by new balance 550 before they disappear is proof of a trend.
In NYC I see a lot of clogs/mules, NB550’s, blokecore and some of these other trends in person all the time
Cool, other NYC comments have confirmed the same thing
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I also work for a fashion label so that definitely helps. Many people dressing trendy
@@newyorkvisionary oh thanks awesome you work in fashion! Do you enjoy it so far?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon It’s a tough industry to work in. Very fast paced, never ending work. I work in Accounting though but that’s the experience for all other departments as well. I’m exiting the industry next week actually. It sucks, I love fashion but I hate working in it
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon The only things I will miss are the free clothes and wearing whatever I want to work
I never saw a single arcteryx jacket or product in real life. Even on a college campus. And only reason I’ve seen archive pieces is cause I have one friend that loves Rick owens
That’s interesting, I’m surprised you haven’t seen arcteryx in person. I can remember a few times, but The North Face is much more popular here
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I also live in a dry ass hot ass desert so that may be why I don’t see much gorpcore in real life
@@katscandance You’re not missing much. Incredibly overpriced nylon bullshit that probably costs $3 to produce and is sold for $600.
