I visited Zara’s cheaper sister store that just opened in the US — and it was the shopping experience of my dreams

The denim section is also pretty limited. When I visited, the store only had mid-rise skinny jeans and high-rise mom jeans in sizes US 2 to 8 available. Both styles cost $30.

Bershka also did not sell “plus-size” denim when I visited.

Online, Bershka includes sizes 00 to 12 in its denim sizing chart. However, those sizes were not in stock when I visited the store.

When I asked a store employee if Bershka would be stocking extended sizes, she said she didn’t know. A representative for the retailer did not respond when I asked if the NYC pop-up shop would stock sizes larger than a US 8.

The store also had $30 “Push-Up Pants,” which felt more like constricting plastic wrap than clothing meant for humans. I tried on the pants in my typical size 6, but they were way too small for me.
