Fashion and clothing are portraits of society, absorbing and mirroring developments over time. But this is also an extremely important area of activity in Portugal. Consumer behavior towards fashion and clothing can be explained by several variables, some of which are analyzed in this thesis. In this context, this work, which aims to analyze the contexts, habits and motivations of Portuguese consumers of fashion and clothing products, has three specific objectives: - To analyze the contexts in which fashion and clothing products are consumed and, in this sense, to observe the types of clothing, the commercial spaces and the main brands sold in Portugal, specifically in shopping centers; - To carry out an analysis of the habits and main motivations of consumers from a panoramic and comprehensive perspective of the market; - Finally, and based on a previously constructed model - "Consumer Style Inventory" by Sproles and Kendall (1986) - the aim is to determine the main consumption habits and main motivations that lead to purchasing decisions, as well as to identify consumer segments.
