From VR to AI to cloud computing, the March 2024 retail trends are all about technology.
Thanks to the breakthrough success of ChatGPT, there are very few areas left untouched by AI. Some of the latest AI advancements in the retail space include tools that help to personalize the in-store experience. For instance, the luxury menswear label Zegna recently teamed up with Microsoft to introduce the new Zegna X configurator, which merges AI with personalized customer service to fully tailor the shopping experience for guests.
But it's not just AI that's reimagining the way we go shopping. One of the most unique solutions among the March 2024 retail trends is the J.Crew Virtual Closet app, which allows users to browse, style, and purchase J.Crew products while using the new Apple Vision Pro VR headset. Not only can users virtually try on clothes by dressing their personal mannequins, but they can also mix and match pieces, and get real-time feedback from J.Crew stylists.
