While Costco fans thrive online, most sources interviewed for this story say they go to the store in person, and that’s because shopping at the warehouse is unlike any other retail experience. Usually located in the middle of the store, the clothing section includes dozens of tables with pieces stacked on top of each other, topped with black-and-white signs with brand names such as Nike, Adidas and Eddie Bauer, as well as the company. own label, Kirkland. The deals speak for themselves—Calvin Klein leggings for $19.99, Banana Republic shorts for $14.99, and more. – including a no-frills shopping experience, hyper-curated merchandising and ubiquitous crowds at malls and boutiques. However, it’s all full of today’s biggest fashion trends: On a recent visit, I saw low-cut pants, slacks, and tracksuits. (Costco declined to comment on how they source their merchandise.)
