Zara size chart & fit
Zara runs one full EU size smaller than the standard chart. Size up one number, particularly for tops and outerwear.
Sizing philosophy
European fast fashion — trend-driven, slim cut, aggressive fit. Sizing is inconsistent across collections; TRF runs smaller than the main line.
How Zara shoes fit
Zara shoes run 0.5 small and narrow — size up 0.5.
How Zara clothing fits
Women's runs one full EU size small (a Zara 38 fits like a real 36). Men's runs slim through the shoulder and short in the body. Kids and Zara Home run true.
Width & last
Narrow last on shoes; slim silhouettes on apparel.
