ABSTRACT: The work presented in this paper is a part of a doctoral research in Design, which aims to promote sustainable behaviours in everyday life through the use of fashionable wearables. The comprehension of what kind of behaviours can be considered as being sustainable is needed for backing the design solu_ons including the wearables. Thus, a literature review was conducted, followed by a content analysis, intended to explore and frame those behaviours. Akenji and Chen’s (2016) framework was chosen and modified to structure the type and domains of sustainable behaviours. The results suggest a trend for the sustainable behaviours to be associated with topics in the domain of housing, food, goods consumption and mobility. Furthermore, “effuse” behaviours that target positive impacts such as reusing, recycling, conserving and eco-innovative solutions are also frequently suggested.
