January energy, why summer makes us move

There’s something about January. Longer days. Warmer nights. More activity but less stress. Suddenly you’re up earlier, staying out later, and moving more without really planning to.

Summer doesn’t ask you to train harder or commit to a routine. It just makes you want to be outside. Early morning swims. Evening walks when the sun’s still out. Movement that doesn’t feel like work.

Welcome to summer activewear season. Pieces that move with you, breathe with you, and keep up with that special kind of energy that comes with summer. Outfits for movement that happens naturally. 

The psychology behind summer movement

Science backs what you already feel. Summer brings more sunlight and your mood shifts, your energy lifts and you’re naturally pulled towards movement. Longer days for meandering walks, extended conversations and more time outside. 

Your body responds to summer. You wake up earlier when it’s light. You stay active longer when the sun’s still out. Movement is a natural part of your day, not something you squeeze in before the light fades. 

January feels different. There’s no back-to-school rush yet. Work is quieter. You’ve got space to move at your own pace in ways that feel good. No cold mornings. No dark commutes. Just you, the sunshine and the opportunity to move however you want.

Movement that doesn't feel like exercise

Summer movement looks different for everyone. Early swims before the beach gets busy. Evening walks after the heat finally breaks. Stretching on the grass because you can.

Movement comes naturally in summer. The sun’s out, the air’s warm, and your body feels better when it moves.

The In Motion collection is built for this kind of movement. Yoga, pilates, walks, stretches. Soft, breathable fabrics that feel good all day. High-waisted fits that stay put whether you’re bending, reaching or just sitting on the beach.

These lightweight activewear pieces work for studio sessions and everything else. Morning coffee runs. Sunset stretches at the park. Effortless movement that blends into your day needs effortless activewear that keeps up with your summer routine (or lack of!). 

Swims that set the tone

There’s nothing like an early swim to start your day right. Soft morning light reflecting off the ocean. Soft sand, still smooth from the high tide. You dive in and suddenly you’re awake, energised and ready for the day.

The energy of a summer swim stays with you long after the adrenaline rush of the first plunge. A clear head all day, a lighter mood that lasts through your afternoon. 

Our Sweat-to-Splash® collection is activewear you can swim in. Elevated silhouettes that resist sun, salt and chlorine. Pieces that work in the pool, on the sand and everywhere between.

Wear them for your morning beach job or stretch session straight to your swim. No outfit change needed. Just versatile activewear that moves through your day with you.

Evening energy: walks when the sun's still out

Longer evenings are full of potential. Time for a beach walk after dinner. A run after work. A stretch outside before bed.

A joyful part of summer, these after-hours moments shift your mood and reset your energy after the day.

This is where In Tempo shines. Designed for high-energy movement like running, HIIT or power walks, it’s supportive, breathable and built to keep you cool when it’s still warm at 8 pm. Pieces that transition from a run to an easy walk to sitting outside with friends.

Summer activewear doesn’t stop when your workout does.

Why it works

Summer movement feels lighter. You’re not dragging yourself out of bed in the dark or battling chilly mornings. You’re moving because it’s easier to say yes than no.

Longer days give you flexibility. Mornings feel possible. Evenings feel long. You can move when it suits you, not when the schedule demands it.

Better moods make movement feel good, not hard. You want to be outside, to swim, walk, stretch, explore. Summer energy is real, and your body responds to it.

The key is having pieces that support this kind of movement. Activewear that works for early swims and evening walks. Fabrics that breathe when it’s hot. Fits that feel good all day long.
