Zara trouser fit

citygirldc

Hi all. I love Zara although at times they are hit or miss for me. I mostly get tops or sweaters and the occasional shoe but was wondering how the pants fit.

I wear 6 petites (4 regular) in pants and I'm know most of Zara's stuff will be long and/or small for me. In terms of rise, are they typically low rise? Mid rise? Should I size up? The reason I ask is that I'm thinking of ordering pleated cropped styles online since I couldn't find it at the store.

I only have one pair of Zara pants and they fit odd. I'm a rectangle without a lot of waist definition and they are too big in my waist but fit everywhere else (butt, hips, thighs, etc.). I wear a 4 or 6 and ordered the 6. I'm not sure if this is standard or not.

I am a rectangle too, and I have the same waist issue as Sara with them. I am usually an 8 or 10 at Gap, and I wear an 8 or 10 in Zara skirts, and a 10 in their pants.

Definitely size up at Zara for bottoms.

I seem to have exactly the bottom-half situation as Sara L., so another vote for sizing up, especially if you are between. As for rise, I think they offer a full range, so that's a good thing. In denim skinnies, for example, they have both low- and mid-rise offerings, and I am pretty sure I have seen some higher-waisted pants too. So lots to try.

I don't buy Zara pants. I'm a little leggy for someone who is only 5'6", but still... very short. Sizing up has not worked for me because then they're simply too large and too short.
