A new innovation offers clothing that fits perfectly

Amazon is about to change all that with an experiment taking place in two locations.

The changing room inside the new Amazon clothing store concept could be a solution to find the perfect fit. Amazon is merging its online shopping experience with a revamped, high-tech bricks-and-mortar fitting room called Amazon Style.

How the tester works

Concept stores in Glendale, California, or Columbus, Ohio offer men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, shoes, and accessories in new and unique ways.

When you shop at Amazon Style, you start by browsing the selections on offer and using your phone to scan the QR codes of any items you want to try on. No duplicate items are displayed in the store, and each item is only one size.

HOW TO CONTACT AMAZON CUSTOMER SUPPORT DIRECTLY

Tap “Start a Room” in your Amazon app when you’re ready to settle in

Once you’re done searching and scanning, select ‘Start a Room’ in your Amazon app. After a few minutes, the app will let you know when your room is ready, and then send you to your styling room, where you can try on, rate, and request more items.

You can unlock your room using your app. Everything you’ve selected will be waiting for you in your fitting room, along with a few additional items that employees can choose from and think they might like.

Suppose you want to order more items or different sizes. In that case, simply use the touch screen located in the changing room and your items will be delivered to a cupboard right next to the coat rack inside your room.

HOW TO MAKE ALEXA TALK MORE LIKE YOU

Once you’re done, you can simply go straight to the checkout and pay with your Amazon account.

Can I book a hair salon in advance?

Yes, you can book a hair salon in advance. You can go online to Amazon.com and reserve a styling room before you even get to the store. Once you arrive, the room will already be set up for you with your name, and you can add more items in the shop or from your style room home screen.

Will Amazon Style reach other places?

Amazon has yet to announce whether it will place Amazon Style stores elsewhere. Still, it might be a good idea for them to consider it.

They already have several Amazon Go stores spread across the country where consumers can grab items and automatically be charged through their Amazon accounts when they leave the store. Amazon Fresh and the tech giant’s purchase of Whole Foods Market across the country instantly made them a serious grocery competitor to mom-and-pop chain stores.
