Sizing Comparisons

Which brand runs smaller?

The same size label means a different garment in every store. These comparisons put two brands' size charts side by side and answer the question directly — which runs smaller, where the charts disagree, and how to convert your size when you switch.

Zara vs H&M

Zara runs smaller — especially by letter size

Updated June 10, 2026

Updated June 10, 2026

Zara vs GAP

Zara runs smaller — your GAP size is usually one size down from your Zara size

Updated June 10, 2026

Zara vs Levi's

Different systems, not a fair fight — Zara runs small, while Levi's labels are honest waist inches that vary by fit

Bershka runs smaller — same labels, slimmer youth cut, and jeans on their own scale

Updated June 10, 2026

Updated June 10, 2026

GAP vs Bershka

Updated June 10, 2026

Old Navy runs bigger — Levi's jeans fit the number on the label; Old Navy's often measure a size over it.

Updated June 10, 2026

Mango fits smaller — the letters match up to L, but Old Navy's garments run large and its top sizes cover more body

Updated June 10, 2026

Old Navy vs Banana Republic

Banana Republic fits smaller — the charts nearly match, but Old Navy's generous cut and BR's tailoring pull the garments apart

Updated June 10, 2026

Old Navy vs Primark

Updated June 10, 2026
