Concluding Comments and Future Directions

Abstract

This chapter brings the text to a concluding discussion. This chapter assists the reader in providing a list of bullet-points summarizing the main contributions of this text and in the future directions section, suggests that a necessary future step is for a wide-ranging empirical study examining aesthetics. I argue that this is essential for the future growth of this field. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that future studies might not necessarily involving dress. Nevertheless, we would argue that dress has fulfilled and surpassed the contribution of fine art. The layers of depth that dress suggests in our examination suggests it will be difficult to find another suitable exemplar that posseses the richness and potential that dress offers.
