Perry Ellis International Inc. has a new ally in its efforts to sell more men’s clothing: Amazon.com Inc.’s Alexa.

The fashion company has created a feature for the voice-activated assistant that offers style tips to male shoppers. The idea is to help men dress for any occasion -- and ideally get them to stock up on Perry Ellis merchandise along the way.
