When the Amazon Echo Look debuted in summer 2017, the online retailer billed its $200 smart speaker as a coach for people who care about clothing. Now, it's looking to crowdsource some of its fashion advice.

The Echo Look, which includes the Alexa digital assistant and a camera, takes full-body selfies to capture what you're wearing and provide feedback to help you decide between two outfits. The Echo Look app doled out its fashion advice based on "machine learning algorithms with advice from fashion specialists." On Monday, Amazon sent a notice to Echo Look owners that the device's app would connect to Amazon Spark, an Instagram-like social network Amazon created for its shoppers earlier this year, so you could ask other users what you should wear. The added integration will only work in the Echo Look's iOS app.
