Haute Hiking

In partnership with CCW Clothing

Make the most of cold weather by exploring the great Scottish outdoors – but be sure to do it in style…

Outdoorsy types will already be familiar with the benefits of practical, weather-resistant clothes, but they have now become key items in the new, post-lockdown uniform of the fashion pack, too. As the likes of Alexa Chung, Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Kanye West and Timothée Chalamet don their fleeces, wax jackets, parkas, puffers and hiking boots, functional countryside attire is now enjoying a serious style revival. This fashion revolution has been coined Gorpcore - extreme outdoor clothing as streetwear – and we are totally here for it! 

Emily Geddes from family-owned outdoor specialist brand CCW said, ‘As a society we have come to appreciate open space again which, for those of us living in Scotland, is a wonderful thing. We have so much beautiful scenery to enjoy and fortunately we have the right type of clothing available to buy that matches that desire.’
