Zara just solved a major online shopping problem
The gift that keeps on giving

The gift that keeps on giving
There are few things worse than getting that Zara package delivered to your office, only to discover that the dress that looked so amazing on the countless influencers on your Insta feed, doesn’t fit properly.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel, for Zara has come up with another ingenious hack that’ll mean you never have to face the disappointment of filling in a return form ever again. Hopefully.
The clothing website has introduced a new tool that lets users enter their body measurements, so it can then recommend the best size for you.
Here’s how it works: whenever you are on a product page, such as this lovely striped tunic, you’ll see a ‘what’s my size?’ option below the usual sizes.
Click on it, and a pop up will let you enter your height, weight and how you like your clothes to fit.
The click on ‘Find my size’ and it’ll suggest the size (or sizes) that will fir you best.
