3. The Truth About UK vs EU Sizing at Zara

Meta description:

Think your UK size is a 12? Not in Zara. Here’s how EU vs UK sizes compare — and how Tellar makes it easy.


The Problem: Conflicting Labels

Zara uses European sizes by default, even on the UK site.

EU Size

UK Equivalent

Notes

36

8

Often feels like a UK 6

38

10

Runs tighter in hips

40

12

True for structured tops

  • Assuming EU 38 = UK 10 (not always)

  • Forgetting to convert when shopping in-store

  • Using past sizing that no longer matches your shape


Tellar’s Fix

When you enter your body measurements into Tellar.co.uk, it converts your data into brand-specific sizing, including:

  • UK → EU

  • Inches ↔ cm

  • Store-specific variations

🎯 Avoid conversion headaches
