Zara shoppers stunned to find 'secret hidden message' on every price tag

High street giant Zara has stunned shoppers after one discovered a 'hidden message' on all of its clothes tags.

The 'secret code' has been in front of our eyes for years, but it's only now people have realised.

Earlier this month, TikTok account Officially_ Outfits claimed that there is a secret clothing symbol on the price tags indicating how it fits, as discovered by OK Online.

The shopping hack TikTok star claims that a grey square means you should choose your normal size, while a triangle means that you should size up.

The TikTok video went viral and racked up over 460,000 views with hundreds of Zara fans commenting on how good this little hack is.

A fellow TikTok user, @cooookiemonster210, supported the video and explained how a member of staff once told her this trick while she was purchasing some clothes.

They explained: "The lady working on the register said anything with a triangle on it means you need to size up as their clothes are fitted based off European sizes”.

Kym Marsh ’s stylist Martine Alexander decided to investigate herself to see if the rumours were actually true.

Martine said: “I went into Zara and asked one of the members of the team, 'Can you dispel the myth?'

A member of retail staff said: "So it's the different brands, whether it’s Zara woman, Zara basic or Zara TRF. TRF comes up slightly smaller, Zara woman does come up a little on the generous/ true to size, and Zara basic is just basic and is true to size."
