Currently male consumers, Metrosexuals in particular, are becoming animportant segment in the field of consumer behaviour.

This research is to study what variables affect thepurchase of clothes for Thai Metrosexuals. Fishbein and Ajzen’s (1975) theory of areasoned action model is employed as a theoretical framework because it is a wellacceptedtheory for predicting consumer behaviour. Based on this theory, the mainobjective of the study is to examine the influence of attitudes toward clothing buying,self-image, and subjective norms of purchase intention and the purchase of clothes.The population of the study are Thai men aged 25 to 55 years whose occupations fitin three groups, private sector officer, business owner, and government officer, with aneducation level of at least a Bachelor’s degree.
