본 연구의 목적은 미래의 가장 중요한 소비자계층으로 부상할 대학생을 대상으로 오가닉 의류제품의 구매경험과 라이프스타일에 따른 오가닉 의류제품 구매의도를 파악하고자 하였다. 첫째, 조사대상자의 인구통계적 특성에 따른 오가닉 의류제품 구매경험의 차이에서는 거주지역을 제외하고 성별, 연령, 관련전공, 용돈, 수입에서 집단간 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 조사대상자인 대학생을 대상으로 라이프스타일 요인구조분석을 하였는데 "웰빙지향", "변화추구", "친환경주의", "유행혁신", "보수안전"의 가치관으로 나뉘어졌다. 셋째, 오가닉 의류제품의 "구매경험" 및 "비구매경험"에 따라 라이프스타일 특성의 하위 차원인 "웰빙지향", "변화추구", "친환경주의", "유행혁신", "보수안전"에 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 하였는데 "웰빙지향", "변화추구형", "친환경주의", "유행혁신"은 오가닉 의류제품의 구매경험집단이 비구매 경험집단보다 높게 나타났으며 모든 하위요인 집단들인 "웰빙지향", "변화추구", "친환경주의", "유행혁신", "보수안전"이 오가닉 의류제품 구매의도에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있는 것을 알 수 있다.
