I understand what the word 'outmoded' means but I have never heard someone using the word in that way.
Hence my question. Is it natural?
I've heard most people use "old-fashioned'.

Yes, it's perfectly natural. There are lots of ways to say it. Here are a few more adjectives:

- outmoded
- old-fashioned
- stale
- tired
- bygone
- shopworn
- archaic
- dated

Of course, none of them mean exactly the same thing. That's what makes English fun!
