13 Brands Like Bench for Casual Urban Fashion
Type the old Bench web address into your browser and you land somewhere else entirely. bench.co.uk now redirects to Superdry, which sells Bench under licence after relaunching the label in March 2026. The hoodies and joggers still exist, but the shop you used to browse doesn't, and a wardrobe built on one label suddenly has a gap in it.
These 13 brands cover the same ground Bench built its name on: soft hoodies, relaxed joggers, logo tees and denim you can wear on a Tuesday. Some sit cheaper, some sit smarter, and a few will push your casual rotation somewhere Bench never went.

Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters is a mid-range US retailer that sells its own casualwear alongside outside labels, which makes it the widest single stop on this list. The hoodies, oversized tees and relaxed denim share Bench's comfort-first cut, but the styling pulls from thrift-store Americana rather than British high-street sportswear.
The trade-off is consistency. Because the floor mixes in-house pieces with dozens of other labels, quality moves around within one order, and you'll want to read the fabric composition rather than assume it. Sizing runs generous on the oversized fits, so the size you took at Bench may be one size too many here.
We keep a separate guide to Black-owned brands like Urban Outfitters if you'd sooner spend the same money with smaller labels.
Best for: Vintage-leaning casualwear with an indie streak.
H&M
H&M is the cheapest reliable route to the plain end of the Bench formula: cotton hoodies, jersey joggers, tees without a wordmark across the chest. Its Divided line covers the younger, trend-led half of the range, and we've written up the difference between the two in H&M vs Divided.
Treat H&M as your base-layer supplier instead of the source of the piece anyone comments on. Buy the four hoodies you'll wear until they go grey, then spend what you saved at Superdry or Lacoste on the one that has to look good in photographs.
Divided pieces run smaller and shorter in the body than the main line, which catches people out when both land in the same basket.
Best for: Plain hoodies and joggers to build a base on.
Pull & Bear
Pull & Bear is the Inditex label aimed squarely at under-30s, and it's the closest thing here to Bench's original mix of relaxed fits and printed tees at budget prices. New prints land constantly, so the range you browse in March looks nothing like the one in June.
The graphics lean sillier than Bench ever did. Cartoon references, skate imagery and washed-out colour blocks fill the tee wall, which either sells you instantly or doesn't. Denim is where the brand quietly does its best work, in relaxed and baggy cuts that hold their shape better than the price suggests.
Stock moves fast and rarely comes back, so buy the print when you see it.
Best for: Fast-moving prints and relaxed fits.
ASOS Design
ASOS Design is the in-house label of ASOS, designed by the retailer's own teams and sold as its entry-price own-brand line, according to ASOS plc. That matters for a Bench replacement because the label carries hoodies and joggers across Curve, Tall, Petite and Maternity fits instead of one standard block.
Choice is the reason to start here and the reason it gets tiring. Hundreds of hoodies sit behind the same filter and the descriptions blur together, so shop by fit and fabric rather than by scrolling. Returns are the pressure valve. Order two sizes, keep one.
We'd point you here first if Bench's sizing never sat right on you, because no other brand on this list offers as many fit variants of the same piece.
Best for: Size range and volume of choice.
Nike Sportswear
Nike Sportswear is the non-performance half of Nike, and it's the mid-range pick when you want the sports-fleece feel Bench did but built to a heavier spec. Tech Fleece joggers and Club hoodies do the everyday work, and both survive two years of washing better than most high-street fleece.
You pay for that. A Nike hoodie costs a multiple of an H&M one, and the swoosh is doing some of the pricing. Where Bench ran its wordmark across the chest, Nike keeps branding small on most Sportswear pieces, which makes them easier to wear under a coat.
Buy here for the joggers first. The fleece weight and the ankle cuff are what people notice.
Best for: Sports fabrics worn off the pitch.
PacSun
PacSun is a California retailer built on skate and surf styling, and it's the pick if your version of casual runs sun-bleached rather than city-grey. Baggy denim, washed tees and hooded fleece make up the core, sold alongside outside skate labels at mid-range prices.
The gap between PacSun and Bench is climate. Bench dressed for a British autumn and PacSun dresses for a car park in July, so the fleece runs lighter and the colours run warmer. Shipping to the UK adds cost and time, which is the real friction here rather than the clothes.
Its own-label denim is the strongest part of the offer, and the loose fits sit closest to what Bench sold.
Best for: West Coast skate and surf shapes.
Superdry
Superdry is where Bench lives now. Superdry signed a non-exclusive licence to sell Bench across the UK and Europe, relaunched the label in March 2026, and runs a dedicated Bench section on its own site alongside shop-in-shops.
Its own range overlaps heavily with what you came for: heavy cotton hoodies, padded jackets and printed tees at mid-range prices, with regular multibuy offers (organic cotton tees run at 3 for £50 in the men's range and 3 for £45 in the women's). The house style is louder than Bench, with Japanese lettering and layered branding across the chest.
Start here if you want the Bench pieces themselves rather than a substitute for them.
Best for: Buying Bench itself, plus heavier casualwear.
Bershka
Bershka is Inditex's loudest young label, and it's the budget option when you want the silhouette exaggerated. Cargo trousers cut wide, cropped hoodies, oversized prints and grunge detailing fill the range, refreshed against micro-trends faster than any other brand here.
That speed cuts both ways. You get a shape six months before the high street does, and you get a fabric weight that matches a budget price, so the cotton feels thinner in the hand than a Bench hoodie did. Read the composition before committing to anything you plan to wear weekly.
Use Bershka for the one statement piece in an outfit and buy the plain layers elsewhere. That's the balance that works.
Best for: Oversized, trend-chasing streetwear.
New Look
New Look is the British budget retailer that stretches furthest past the hoodie. Its casual range sits next to workwear and going-out pieces, so one order can cover a Saturday and a Monday, which Bench's range never tried to do.
Nothing here shouts. The hoodies and joggers are plain, cheap and cut close to the standard block, which makes New Look the safe reorder rather than the exciting one. Womenswear runs much deeper than menswear, so men will find the casual selection thin next to the other names on this list.
Think of it as the brand you buy from when you need the piece by Friday and want a shop you can walk into.
Best for: Casual pieces that still work at the office.
PrettyLittleThing
PrettyLittleThing is a womenswear-only brand, and its loungewear side is the part that overlaps with Bench: matching jogger sets, cropped hoodies and oversized sweatshirts at budget prices.
The styling is built for a camera. Cuts sit shorter and tighter than Bench's, colours are brighter, and sets are sold as sets so the top and bottom match, which is harder to pull off buying separates. Sizing runs small across the loungewear and the on-site reviews flag it consistently, so size up rather than guess.
Prices drop often enough that paying full price on anything is a choice. If you liked Bench's tracksuit logic but wanted it in a colour, this is the closest budget match on the list.
Best for: Matching jogger sets and cropped hoodies.
Lacoste
Lacoste is the mid-range French sportswear house behind the L.12.12 polo, and it's the upgrade path from Bench rather than a like-for-like swap. Sweatshirts, track tops and joggers all carry the same crocodile, but the finish is cleaner and the fits sit closer to the body.
The extra money buys longevity and a piece that reads as smart-casual rather than weekend-only. What you give up is the slouchy line Bench did well, because Lacoste cuts everything with more structure through the shoulder and waist.
Our full guide to brands like Lacoste covers the rest of that tier if this is the direction you're heading.
Best for: Sportswear with a smarter finish.
FILA
FILA is the Italian sportswear label whose nineties tracksuits, velour tops and colour-blocked fleece came back into circulation and stayed. Prices sit mid-range, and the Settanta and Ventisei lines carry the retro styling most people are shopping for.
One practical note. The US site at fila.com currently carries a notice that its shop is paused, so buy from the UK store, which trades normally. FILA's regional sites run separately and stock differs between them.
Where Bench used its wordmark as decoration, FILA's branding has tennis heritage behind it, which is why the same logo lands differently. Our nineties streetwear guide covers the rest of that revival.
Best for: Nineties tracksuit revival pieces.
Stradivarius
Stradivarius is the third Inditex label on this list and the softest of them. Where Bershka goes oversized and Pull & Bear goes printed, Stradivarius keeps the trend-awareness and dials the volume down: knits, relaxed denim, plain sweatshirts, budget prices.
That makes it the sensible pick for the layers underneath everything else. Fewer logos, calmer colours, and cuts that don't date within a season. The range is womenswear throughout, so it answers Bench for women rather than for the household.
If the thing you miss about Bench was a plain hoodie that fit properly and cost little, start your search here before the louder names.
Best for: Softer, less logo-driven everyday basics.
How to Choose the Right Brand for You
Start with the obvious one. If you want Bench pieces, buy Bench at Superdry, because that's where the licence sits now. Everything else on this list stands in for the look rather than the label.
For the plain layers you replace every year, H&M and Stradivarius cost least and do the job. For a hoodie you'll still wear in three years, Nike Sportswear and Lacoste justify the jump. And if the fit was the problem all along, ASOS Design carries more variants of the same piece than anyone else here.
