From Tenniscore to Blokette, sport and fashion are more integrated than ever. But these aesthetics are going beyond just specific sports. We’re seeing fashion reflected in a broader range of activities, ones that require movement and time spent away from phones. Enter the 2000s Surf aesthetic, the Retro Camp aesthetic, and now the Granola Girl aesthetic.
This aesthetic is nothing new (shoutout to the outdoors girls who have been wearing Patagonia and Tevas for years). The Gorpcore aesthetic emerged a few years ago, bringing a more edgy, streetwear vibe into the outdoorsy look. Over the past two years, the Fisherman aesthetic brought a more nautical take. This summer, though, the Granola Girl aesthetic mixes practicality with some of the top trends: bright pops of color, stripes, mini biker shorts, chunky sneakers, layered tank tops, balloon pants, and capris. Below are a few outfits you can recreate whether or not you’re braving the outdoors this summer.
Shopping for the modern Granola Girl calls for comfortable activewear in soft pastels, vintage layers, and practical accessories (e.g. fanny packs, wrap around sunglasses, athletic socks, and water bottles). For the perfect mix of traditional and trendy, we recommend brands like Patagonia, L.L.Bean, Merrell, Planet Nusa, Teva, Salomon, Adidas, Form, Outdoor Voices, and Adanola.
This outfit feels like the quintessential 2026 Granola Girl. A striped long sleeve with mini shorts, chunky Salomons, and a fanny pack is both practical and cute.
This one leans more into the classic Granola Girl aesthetic. Earthy tones + trendy details like track pants, a rope necklace, and oval sunglasses.
A striped tank with brown biker shorts and Tevas is easy, comfortable, and put together for a morning on the trail. Swap out Tevas for chunky sneakers or hiking boots if you prefer a closed-toe option.
