{brand Spotlight}: Bench Festival Collection

Rompers, maxi dresses, and tropical prints oh my! Get to know the new festival collection from Bench.

Those of you who follow me on snapchat I know that I’ve been working on a project with Bench. Whenever you’re planning a shoot with a brand it’s your job to pick out looks to shoot so of course you become super familiar with EVERYTHING they sell. Recently I caught up with store manager Thelma at the Bench at Mic Mac Mall to pull my looks for an upcoming project, and boy are there so many pieces I want for summer. 
Instructed to pull two looks I seriously struggled I WANTED EVERYTHING. I’m obsessed with the duality of everything at Bench, and how you can wear the same items to yoga and for drinks after. And everything is SUPER comfortable. I mean if you’re going to be in the same outfit allllllll day it should be comfortable right?
Just recently Bench launched the Bench Festival Lineup Collection which inspires movement through free flowing fabrics, and features the latest must have pieces like: rompers, maxi dresses, bomber jackets all in fun patterns and prints. I’m obsessed with the jungle inspired theme, and maybe because it’s been so dismal here in Halifax with rain and fog lately, but I basically wanted everything is the pink tropical pattern. You’ll see what I mean below.  It’s the perfect pic me up!

With Bench’s #24life approach to clothing (which basically suggests that’s their clothing can literally wear them around the clock) it only seems logical they would create super comfortable festival inspired collection. From floral bombers (obsessed) that you can wear with jeans or dress to a romper to can basically live in (and repeat) there’s so much to choose from. I’ve narrowed it down a little and pulled (and linked to) some of my favorites below:

CRABISKLAND TOP

 REFERENCE TOP 

 DETACH BIKINI TOP

ELQUEMANO SKIRT

UNBEATABLE SHORTS

JOAQUINA JKT

THURSOEAST ZIP

CAUTIOUS DRESS

Honestly in LOVE with so many of these pieces, and had that Crabiskland top and the Superbank C Romper been at the Mic Mac location they would have been MINE! Curious about what I pulled for the shoot? You’ll have to wait and see 🙂
Although not all including the festival collection I’ve also pulled some more Bench pieces I’m currently loving for summer.
