Zara alternative with same aesthetic for "petite" male

Hi there! I'm MALE from Italy, and sometimes I can find what I need but 90% of the time every Zara clothes it's one size bigger than i need.... infact, S size it's a bit bigger for my body. If only there could be a smaller size like XS for tops or 38/40 for pants. I was wondering if there are very similar brands like ZARA with the very very very similar aestethics. I've considered something else like H&M, etc, but the aestethic is not the same. Help me please :)!

Zara offers a decent range of aesthetics- can you give us a more precise idea of what aesthetics you're looking for and then from there we can start looking for brands that match that and have the right sizing?

I can see this yes Alright a lot of these are pretty simple items (solid-color sweaters, polos, pants etc) that should be at most major retailers

In the price range of Zara, you’d want to look at Uniqlo and maybe Abercrombie and Fitch (who seem to be the closest match to what Zara are up to nowadays) There’s a lot of high-texture knitwear in this board Which I really like For a lot of sweaters and other knit items looking for used on ebay is probably your best option at the pricepoint as knitwear ages very well And it’s also going to give you access to a wider range of body types than a large retailer will carry

Zara is owned by Inditex who also own a ton of other similar brands. Try pull and bear, bershka, Massimo Dutti. You could also Mango.

from the Pinterest board I'm thinking you might like both Arket and Cos as well Ambercrombie and Uniqlo both mentioned are good options too though

https://www.vinted.it/ would be a great place to search for cheap 2nd hand / vintage chunky knitwear. You can save a search in XS size and just keep an eye on it until something cool pops up

I believe Abercrombie is quite size inclusive too so it would be good for you too

Thanks you! I'll try All those store XS size and let you know! What about pants too? By far, ARKET, MANGO and COS are the best ones, but really expensiiiive. Are there any other brands??
