description Abstract This paper presents an approach to understanding green aesthetics in clothing and design-for-sustainability that unifies existing theories and describes aspects of green aesthetics. The aim of this paper is to define the dimensions of aesthetic perception in design and commodities, and while doing so the focus is on green aesthetics in clothing.
