How Zara's lines hold up

Zara button-ups — what owners report

Reviewers who try the shirts on describe the fabric quality as ordinary for the price, while conceding the shirts look dressier than they cost, with solid collars and comfortable cotton. The dominant complaint is sizing: cuts are slim, run small, and vary between items — one reviewer found himself an M, L, or XL depending on the shirt. Most see the value as strongest on markdown, when reviewers call the shirts a solid buy for business-casual wear.

Strengths
current-looking, dressy designs at low prices, especially on sale
Watch out for
quality and sizing inconsistency from item to item is the most repeated complaint
Sizing
slim European cut that runs small — reviewers commonly size up, sometimes by two sizes
