What to know about Bershka
Bershka is a Spanish fast-fashion chain launched in April 1998 as a youth-focused brand within Amancio Ortega's Inditex group, alongside Zara and Pull&Bear. It sells women's and men's clothing, footwear and accessories across its Bershka, BSK and Man lines, leaning on baggy denim, cargos, graphic jersey, going-out dresses and trend pieces turned around quickly at low prices. The brand runs roughly 850 stores in about 68 markets plus a large e-commerce operation, and markets itself through music, social platforms and viral internet culture rather than traditional fashion advertising.
How Bershka fits
Overall fit
runs small
Shoppers widely report Bershka's sizing skews small and inconsistent, with slim-cut basics feeling tight and requiring a size up, while the oversized and baggy trend pieces fit generously as intended.
Tip: Take one size up from your usual high-street size on anything fitted, and stick to your normal size (or even go down) on pieces already labelled oversized or baggy.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | mostly relaxed to oversized with dropped shoulders | Stay with your normal size for the intended slouchy look; only size up if you want extreme volume. |
| Jackets | runs small | narrow shoulders and short body on tailored and bomber styles; puffers and workwear pieces are roomier | Size up if you plan to layer a hoodie or knit underneath. |
| Jeans & denim | runs small | baggy, loose and skater cuts are the core, with slim options cut very narrow | Size up on the waist; the leg will already be roomy enough on the baggy styles. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | slim through the chest and armholes, with some relaxed/boxy resort styles as the exception | Size up one, especially if you have a broader chest or longer arms. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | mixed | regular-fit tees are narrow and short; the boxy graphic and 'oversized' tees are deliberately wide with dropped shoulders | Size up in the standard fit tees, but buy your true size in anything labelled oversized or boxy. |
| Trousers & pants | runs small | wide-leg, cargo and parachute silhouettes dominate, but waistbands measure tight to the label | Go up a waist size and expect to shorten the leg. |
