Report: Outdoor Fashion and Style Content 1. Executive Summary Outdoor fashion has evolved from purely functional gear (for mountaineering, hiking, camping) into a dominant lifestyle and aesthetic category, often called "Gorpcore" (a term coined by The Cut in 2017). Today, outdoor style content bridges high fashion, streetwear, technical performance, and sustainability. Key platforms driving this content are TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest. The audience ranges from hardcore alpinists to urban commuters seeking comfort and utility.
