Planning to order something from Massimo Dutti but want to know how their pieces fit before checking out? Here, I’m sharing everything I know about how the Inditex brands sizing works so you’re not caught short.

Massimo Dutti became known for its classic take on menswear— think chinos, blue shirts, and brown suede shoes—but they rose to popularity by becoming the go-to place for chic womenswear. Their luxe designs are heavily inspired by the sleek, tailored style of Northern Italy, which many high-end brands are from.

Under the same company as Zara—Inditex Group in Spain—Massimo Dutti stands out from other brands for its sophisticated touch on basics and highly stylised clothes that can compete with pieces from luxury brands. Even their shop windows exude the same modern elegance as high-end stores.

I’m still surprised that they offer clothes that look like something from a Prada or Chanel campaign for purse-friendly prices. But are they true to size?

Their parent company Zara has been criticized for their unrealistic sizes, which can make anyone worry about buying clothes from Massimo Dutti—even if their designs look great. I know you want to know which size you should get, but it’s always better to go in-store to try different sizes before buying something.
