Apparel Product Listing Experience

Apparel Product Listing Experience

Amazon is standardizing apparel sizes to improve the overall customer shopping experience through consistent and accurate data. Amazon has introduced new Apparel Size Standards, which set sizes based on industry standards. Previously, selling partners used free text to provide apparel sizing information. Going forward, this will be replaced with size attributes, such as body type and height type, which will only allow you to select values from a standardized list. Standardized size values will enable customers to view consistent sizes across apparel products, thereby providing an enhanced browse and search experience.

Amazon will roll out new apparel size attributes in waves across product types. We encourage all selling partners to begin familiarizing themselves with the details outlined below and those included on our FAQ page.

After you select values for these two attributes, a specific set of values will populate for the attributes listed in the following section.

  • Target Gender: Select the gender for which the product is intended.
    • Valid values: Male, Female, Unisex
  • Age Range Description: Select the age range for which the product is intended.
    • Valid values: Adult, Big Kid, Little Kid, Toddler, Infant
