All the new designs perfectly represent the cool and laid back UK inspired style but with a chic edge that makes them an accessory that can easily transcend from day to night.

Colour is still a big look on the watch style scene and the new ladies BC0355PP Bench watch is a vibrant purple tone, featuring a highly polished purple polycarbonate bracelet strap, a purple dial and the iconic Bench logo boldly displayed diago
nally across the entire dial in striking white. This style of watch is incredibly fashion forward and the bold logo immediately integrates the strong and unapologetic Bench attitude!
A cool and statement style with a slick urban edge has always been a prominent look for Bench and the new BC0353WHBR Bench watch for men is a great example of this. Featuring a smart brown leather strap with a worn-in style textured finished, the main focal point is the dial with angled and defined edges, and a case made of polished stainless steel to add a contrast of textures and materials. The square white dial is boldly designed with blue, black and white accents and the Bench logo is also displayed. This watch is definitely masculine and edgy, yet also smart and chic.
Something a little more contemporary and different from the regular Bench watch styles, the BC0356BK watch is a unisex style and simple in design with a black rubber strap with grooved line detailing and a multi-functional digital dial complete wi
th a red LED display. This watch though minimal in design, shows real style attitude and would look great dressed up or down. Sometimes less is definitely more!

Bench watches can be mixed and matched with a variety of looks and can be used to dress down and add a gritty edge to a more feminine outfit for the girls for example, whilst creating a more casual finish to a smart look for the guys.

So, which one is on your wish list for this season??
Surfer style
It’s that time of year again, when all of Europe’s coolest clientele descend on the UK’s south coast for the biggest surf, skate and music festival of the season– Boardmasters. Fast, fun and full of fashionable folk that have a penchant for that laid-back, ‘just threw it on’ look, that’s so difficult for everyone else to achieve; Newquay is the hottest place to be right now.
With stretches of sandy bays, swells that would make you shudder and a swarm of surfers, there’ll even be a sprinkling of celebs too, as the music festival will see headliners including Groove Armada, The Zutons, Morcheeba, The Pigeon Detectives and The Futureheads blasting out the beats. Even Radio 1 is setting up camp on the Cornish coast, so if you’re thinking of heading down, or are planning to escape to the great British seaside at some point this year, make sure you don’t forget your toothbrush, sorry, sunglasses.
Dealing with sand, spray and fresh sea salt on an everyday basis is enough to make anyone’s eyes red raw, which is why surfers and their trusty sunnies are never far apart. An essential tool, despite surfers always looking the part, style isn’t always top of the list when it comes to picking sunglasses – it’s the UV protection that’s imperative instead. However, since more and more surf, skate and snowboard brands have been filtering into the mainstream, labels like Ripcurl, Quicksilver and Oakley are allowing such surfer types to have their cake and eat it as they’re being offered style and protection in one. Style-wise, as well as highly efficient lenses, surfers need their sunnies to be close fitting, and often favour wrap-around styles to prevent UV rays creeping in from the sides, but if you’re watching from the beachside bar or sandy sidelines, feel free to experiment a little more. Both Von Zipper and Dragon have styles that lend themselves to the carefree craze, although if you want to fit right in, Oakley ooze that must-have surfer style.
On the celebrity circuit, Cameron Diaz, Adam Sandler, Matthew McConaughey and Paris Hilton are all avid sufers.
