I’ve never been very familiar with Bench, since I’ve always associated it with the skater community — which I’ve never been apart of. So when I was approached to review it’s latest collection in March, I really didn’t know what to expect.

Turns out, going in with no expectations was the best thing I could have done. I was pleasantly surprised by the options. From shirts and skirts perfect for almost any occasion to stylish activewear, I didn’t have a hard time picking out a few pieces for myself.

I ended up opting for three of the same sweatshirts in different colors. I’ve been looking for casual shirts that can be dressed up or down depending on my mood and these were perfect. Although I worked them mostly into daytime looks for now, I can easily see myself throwing  them on top of some leather pants with heels for a fun night out.
