I’m a Zara expert – the secret symbols on clothing tags and how to use them to find a better fit | The Sun

FOR the untrained shopper, Zara can feel like an endless maze of dresses, blouses, pants, and other fashion finds.

But with one store secret, you'll soon be on your way to finding the most flattering clothes at the popular retailer.


The next time you head on a Zara shopping spree, take a look at the clothing tags.

You may find a small shape next to the size label, which serves a bigger purpose than being decorative.

According to the fashion and beauty Instagram account Dailychiclife, there's a reason Zara tags have the symbols on them and you can use the shapes to find a better fit.

In a video, the Zara expert wrote that the square symbol means that the clothing item is true to size.

Meanwhile, a triangle on the tag means that item runs small and you may want to size up.

Lastly, a circle symbol on a Zara clothing tag indicates that the item runs big, meaning you may want to size down if you want a tighter fit.

In the comments section, some people seemed annoyed that Zara would label their clothes this way.

One wrote: "They could just make clothes that fit properly."

Another added: "Zara be playing squid games."

"'Hey boss should we label it as a medium?' 'Nah fam, small with a circle,'" a third commenter joked.

However, one Zara employee argued: "I’ve been working in Zara for more than 4 years and the shapes only show the category of the clothes."

They added that a square symbol means that a clothing item is part of the basic collection and a circle means it's in the women's collection.

Additionally, a triangle meant it's in the Trafaluc collection, which was a collection marketed towards teens that is no longer in production.
