"Summary": "<p>In our modern era, blending outdoor apparel with urban/suburban and fashion started a decade ago (I think this also happened in the 1960's, then our modern era starting in earnest in the 1980's as we saw innovation in outdoor products and outdoor sports).</p><p>This has allowed outdoor and non-outdoor brands to cross-over into each other's territory, but with further slicing and dicing of the market by brands to create micro-niches. <br /></p><p>This might be a tough strategy moving forward because a lot of these niche markets drive off of trends, which come and go. If it generally takes 2- years between product development, production and distribution for outdoor brands to come to market, trends could come and go by then. <br /></p><p>Trends are also discretionary spend, which evaporates in tough economic times. Outdoor brands, especially smaller ones, may be better off attracting a die-hard, technical buyer whose hard/soft good purchases are more required spend rather than discretionary spend. <span></span><br /></p><p>https://www.ispo.com/en/sports-business/outdoor-fashion-how-gen-z-defining-new-era-fashion<br /></p>",

OutDoor and fashion have long been a dream team. In the 1990s, rappers like Mase and Notorious B.I.G. made outdoor fashion street-ready and laid the foundations for the gorpcore trend - with windbreakers, colorful cargo pants and dad sneakers.</p><p>A lot has happened since then: the term \"gorpcore\" is no longer enough to describe the complex interweaving of sport and fashion. The two worlds have long been closely linked. The trend will become even stronger in 2024. It's about much more than just making outdoor pieces an integral part of the world's streets and catwalks. Gen Z and soon Gen Alpha are completely redefining outdoor as a lifestyle - and expressing this through their clothing in particular.</p><p>Gorpcore</p><p>The term is made up of the fashion style \"normcore\" (from \"normal\"), which stands for inconspicuous unisex clothing, and the acronym GORP. \"gool ol' raisins and peanuts\" is another term for the trail mix popular among hikers. The term Gorpcore first appeared in 2017 in \"the Cut\", the fashion blog of New York Magazine, and described the entry of functional clothing such as colorful fleece and outdoor jackets, robust hiking boots and hiking pants into our everyday lives. The coronavirus pandemic gave the gorpcore trend another boost: According to a <a href=\"https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/retail/our-insights/state-of-fashion\" target=\"_blank\">McKinsey report </a>sales of outdoor products increased by 24% in 2022 compared to pre-coronavirus times.</p><p class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--instagram paragraph--view-mode--default\"><iframe class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" id=\"instagram-embed-0\" src=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C2HQLWLo7uo/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=14&wp=658&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ispo.com&rp=%2Fen%2Fsports-business%2Foutdoor-fashion-how-gen-z-defining-new-era-fashion%3Futm_campaign%3DCPGN%2520-ISPO%2520RSS%2520Newsticker%2520EN%2520-%25202024-03-06%252010%253A00%26utm_medium%3Dmail_mmg%26utm_source%3Deloqua%26utm_content%3DEM#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3144.0999999046326%7D\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"1208\" style=\"text-align:left;border-radius:3px\"></iframe></p><p>In the keynote at ISPO Munich 2023, Highsnobiety explained which four aspects are driving this development:</p><ul><li>New Players: Traditional outdoor brands are conquering the fashion market, fashion brands are pushing into the outdoor sector.</li><li>New Architypes: OutDoor is freer, more inclusive and more creative than ever before - there is no longer just the one, sporty target group.</li><li>New Creativity: From outdoor loafers to cargo skirts, we're seeing Pieces that haven't been seen before.</li><li>New Consciousness: Gen Z brings with it a whole new awareness - of themselves, the outdoors and the clothes they invest in.</li></ul><p class=\"teaser-context--article paragraph paragraph--type--manual-article-list paragraph--view-mode--default\"><a href=\"https://www.ispo.com/en/outdoor\" class=\"teaser__media\"><img class=\"media__element b-lazy b-responsive b-loaded\" src=\"https://www.ispo.com/sites/default/files/2024-01/Bildschirmfoto%202024-01-31%20um%2016.31.36.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" /></a></p><p class=\"teaser__content\" style=\"padding:0px\"><a href=\"https://www.ispo.com/en/outdoor\">think out of the door: June 3-5, 2024.</a></p><p class=\"teaser__text\" style=\"font-size:15px;color:rgb(112, 112, 111)\">Why you shouldn't miss OutDoor by ISPO 2024:<br />— Place to be for your brand presentation<br />— New food for thought for your business<br />— Forum for the solutions of tomorrow<br />Together we master the challenges of the global outdoor market!</p><p class=\"teaser__read-more\"><a href=\"https://www.ispo.com/en/outdoor\" class=\"read-more read-more--button \"><span class=\"read-more__icon\"><span class=\"svg__image svg__image--normal\"><svg xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"12\"><path id=\"Shape\" d=\"M6.162.023L4.921.74l3.194 5.301-2.917 5.226L6.493 12l.03-.053 3.292-5.89\"></path><path id=\"Shape\" d=\"M.002 5.277L.01 6.718l8.603.042-.008-1.436\"></path></svg></span></span></a></p><a href=\"https://www.ispo.com/en/outdoor\" class=\"read-more read-more--button \">DISCOVER OUTDOOR BY ISPO 2024!</a><p>We show three trends that have emerged from this:</p><h3 class=\"text__headline\" style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:600;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><span class=\"menu-anchor\" id=\"1-outdoor-as-the-new-luxury-1075071\">1.

The focus is not on performance and pushing oneself to the limit, but on the experience itself.</p><p>A TikTok trend that reflects this: Soft Hiking.

Despite this diversification, brands must not lose their core and must remain true to themselves. From performance-oriented athletes to sneakerheads: they all love <a href=\"https://www.ispo.com/en/topic/fashion\" target=\"_self\">fashion</a> and the outdoors - each in a different way.</p><p>The second challenge is also the biggest opportunity: Gen Z is looking for brands that will take them by the hand. This is because they lack the time and expertise to pursue their passion for the outdoors. 67 percent of those surveyed in a <a href=\"https://www.ypulse.com/article/2023/07/10/gen-z-millennials-need-brands-help-to-get-outdoors/\" target=\"_blank\">report by Y-Pulse</a> would describe themselves as \"outdoorsy\", but feel that their time capacities and skills do not reflect this. 38 percent even say that they do not feel welcome in the outdoor community. Whether brand trips or outdoor experiences - it takes more than just products!</p><p>The big benefit: If brands gain the trust of Gen Z, they have the chance to attract customers who will remain loyal to the brand for a lifetime.</p>"
