A Variation on the Mori Fashion: Yama, the Mountain Girl

So another branch from the mori girl is the yama girl.  Yama, 山, means mountain in Japanese.  Some chicas have taken the natural vibes of mori and have turned them more rugged.  Hiking is a serious hobby in Korea, and I assume there are pockets of Japan that are quite similar.  And, a girl wants to look cute while trekking up a mountain, right?  So right.  Thus, Yama fashion: Colors beyond the neutrals, warmer layers, and usually more functional clothing.

Starting at the more serviceable end of the spectrum and tapering off int the more mori-inspired interpretations, here are some examples of yama gaaru (山ガール、mountain girls) in pictures.
