Many of us fancy ourselves as shopping experts, but there's always a new trick to discover.

In fact, one woman has just dropped a bombshell about Zara that has left shoppers gobsmacked.

Liv, known on TikTok as shopprizedraw, is famed for her savvy shopping tips, but her latest insight has truly stunned her followers. It turns out the small symbols on Zara's clothing tags aren't just for show – they have secret meanings.

Unbeknownst to many, these icons could actually tell you something important about the outfit. In a revealing video, Liv shared: "So, I was just talking to my friend about Zara, and she didn't know this hack, so I figured I might as well just tell you. Have you ever noticed that Zara has tags, and they'll have little symbols next to them?"

She theorised: "Well, each of those symbols actually means something different. If you see a square on your clothes, that means it's going to fit true to size. Triangle means it's going to run small, and circle means it's going to run big."

Liv advises checking these symbols before making a purchase, as they can be a reliable indicator of whether an item will fit properly. Even the most self-assured fashion lovers are finding this revelation eye-opening.

Since Liv's video went live, it has racked up dozens of views, with many expressing their astonishment at not knowing about Zara's hidden sizing guide sooner.

Reports have surfaced with some suggesting that the symbols on clothing labels can be a useful indicator of sizing, while others argue they're meant to distinguish between different clothing collections rather than sizes. There's a belief circulating that Zara's TRF collection generally offers smaller sizes, prompting customers to size up when shopping for TRF items.

Others believe the Basic collection tends to fit true to size, whereas the Woman collection's sizing could be more unpredictable. Essentially, there are several theories out there.

For those who have been on the hunt for the "perfect fit" at Zara, the retailer provides a sizing guide on their website, which helps shoppers determine their ideal size by entering their height, weight and preferred fit. You can also try garments on in store to get the most accurate idea of if they'll fit nicely.
