The next time you go on a Zara shopping spree, take a look at the clothing labels.
You may find a small shape next to the size label, which serves a greater 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 the garment fits true to size.
Meanwhile, a triangle on the label means the item runs small and you may want to size up.
Finally, a circle symbol on a Zara clothing label indicates that the item runs large, meaning you may want to size down if you want a tighter fit.
In the comment section, some people seemed annoyed that Zara would label their clothes this way.
One wrote, “They can just make clothes that fit right.”
Another said: “Zara plays squid games.”
“‘Hey boss should we label it as medium?’ “No fam, small with a circle,” joked a third commenter.
However, a Zara employee argued, “I have been working in Zara for over 4 years and the shapes only indicate the category of the clothes.”
They added that a square symbol means a garment is part of the basic collection and a circle means it is in the women’s collection.
In addition, a triangle meant it was in the Trafaluc collection, a collection that was marketed to teenagers and is no longer in production.
In other Zara tips, a savvy shopper revealed why you should never shop on the first day of a Zara sale.
Meanwhile, a fashion expert shared the necklines that are most flattering for larger-chested ladies.
