The INSIDER Summary:
- One woman is giving Zara products hilarious, more honest names on Twitter.
- Her tweets are going viral.
- She calls a pair of shoes with a removable faux fur detail, "Shoes with Removable Pieces of Toast."
- She also renamed a pair of high-waisted pants "Magic Leg Shortening Trousers."
You never know what you'll find when you go shopping at Zara. Sometimes, you can find affordable high fashion dupes, and other times things get a little weird.
Lucy Clemson noticed that sometimes Zara products have misleading names, so she decided to give a selection of items more honest names, as we first saw on the Daily Mail. Clemson, a businesswoman based in London, UK, posted her sarcastic creations on Twitter and now they're going viral.
Take a look some of our favorite ones:
She calls Derby Shoes With Removable Faux Fur Tongue ($49.90 USD) "Shoes with Removable Pieces of Toast."
Things took a decidedly morbid turn when she renamed the Contrasting Textured Sweatshirt ($49.90 USD) a "Roadkill Textured Jumper In 'A127 Badger' colourway."
Clemson said what everyone was thinking when she called the Sweatshirt With Text ($19.90 USD) the "Meaningless Words Jumper."
Next, she pointed out that the pattern on the High Waist Checked Trousers ($49.90 USD) made the model's legs appear shorter than they are, calling them "Magical Leg Shortening Trousers."
Alluding to the popular book and TV series "Little House on the Prairie," she renamed the Corduroy Wide-Leg Trousers ($39.90 USD), "Little Trousers on the Prairie."
Clemson called the Checked Wide-Leg Trousers ($89.90 USD) "Too-Long-For-Five-Foot-Ten-Model Trousers" as a sort of warning. Seeing as the pants are too long for a 5 foot 10 model, the average US woman, who is 5 foot 4 inches tall, would seriously need to get them hemmed.
At the time of this story, Clemson's most popular tweet about Zara had over 2,000 retweets and 6,000 likes. People seem to love her roundups, which she has posted every few days since September 17.
Meaningless slogan - good call. There should be an uprising against meaningless slogans on tops.

I think they should employ you. I'm loving your new names - they certainly add a certain something to their clothing.
