🔧 Why the Difference?
Even though both brands are Spanish and list EU sizes, their internal charts and fit philosophies vary:
-
Zara focuses more on trends and volume, allowing for oversized styles in many lines.
-
Mango leans toward more consistent tailoring, especially in formalwear and occasion clothing.
This means the same labelled size may feel completely different when worn.
