Zara’s summer catalog it’s news. And for a reason that probably won’t be liked too much at the Inditex headquarters. Over the last few days, several TikTok users have published videos in which they report that by wearing one of their pants they have allegedly suffered falls and trips.
There is no official confirmation or response from the company, but there are two undeniable facts. The first is that on networks you can find a good handful of videos on the subject that show falls and even injuries. The second is that the matter has escalated to reach media such as NY Post, cnn either Le Parisian.
unexpected protagonist
@cnn Some women are posting online about a pair of Zara trousers that they claim have caused them injury. People say the wide-leg trousers are so wide that they trip over them. CNN reached out to Zara, and they did not respond.
When a fashion brand launches a press, it expects it to leave its mark on the market, but due to its sales and success among customers, it does not. for its riskswhich is what has happened to some flowy pants Zara women’s clothing.
The piece in question costs 22.95 euros and stands out for its design palazzo. Tight at the waist and with a loose leg, they are light, fresh and, above all, versatile. Depending on how they are combined, they serve both a casual and formal style.
The problem is that, in this specific case, the designers seem to have opted more for aesthetics than functionality. According to shared videos by several users and media on TikTok, the pants are so baggy and long that when the person wearing them walks with them can trip.
That is what several recordings published on the platform show and that can be found with the labels #zaratrousers, #zarattrousersdangerous either #deadlyzarapantsin which the garment is identified as part of the Zara catalog. In its official website At least one very similar garment can be seen.
@camilariberaroca think a THOUSAND times before buying them @ZARA should have a warning on the label of these pants💀⚠️ #deadly #zarapants #falling #zaratrousers #fyp
Many of the recordings come from private accounts showing trips, often captured by security cameras. Some users even shows wounds supposedly caused by falls.
Over the last few days, however, complaints they have been escalating until reaching international media, such as the chain cnn, Le Parisian, Telegraaf, NDTV, Metro, First Post either New York Post. They have also addressed the issue influencers with thousands of followers, like Shivani Khoslawho tried the pants in person two days ago. His piece already has around 14,000 likes.
The Australian media Nine assures that in total they have been published more than 2,000 videos on TikTok about a phenomenon that some (including that same headline) have dubbed “deadly pants” either “murderers”. The truth is that the topic has generated a wide conversation on networks in which irony is not lacking.
@gracewils0nx Thnx Tom for laughing after you’ve picked me up off the floor xxxx @tomorford2301 @ZARA #deathtrousers #zara #zaradeathtrousers
“There should be a Netflix documentary about them”, joke a user. Others slip that the garment should be sold “with helmet and knee pads” or, in a deeper tonereport the injuries that a bad trip can cause.
From what the recordings show, the problem would be the design of the legsso long and loose that when you run the risk of tripping over them. At the moment neither Zara nor Inditex have commented on the matter.
At Xataka we have written to both (both Zara and its parent company) without having yet received a response at the time of publishing this article.
