Shoppers aged 18 to 34, meanwhile, are more likely to buy clothes from Amazon than those in any other age bracket. A March 2018 survey of 1,103 US adults by Morgan Stanley found that shoppers are turning to Amazon.com for casual tops (68% of respondents purchased), casual bottoms (38%), shoes (48%), and athletic wear (34%).
