It's always the season to get in touch with nature, but surf, sand, and sea never feel so—honestly—seductive as they do come spring and summer. With the days getting longer and the sun getting hotter, we're collectively itching to ditch our sweaters and jackets in favor of pieces made for sunshine and fresh air. What could be better than a collection inspired by the mother of all Mother Nature hot spots, Bali? (Trick question, because the answer is nothing.)

Glowmode's new "Go Glow" collection is a one-stop shop for an athleisure wear update that will have you almost feeling the spray of crashing surf. Designed in collaboration with Nature Dream Bali, an artisanal Indonesian brand, Glowmode combines premium quality with stylish, affordable functional pieces, offering a versatile collection of athleisure staples such as crop tops and flare leggings, breezy crochet sets, and handmade details ideal for studio sessions, lounging, hiking, and travel. Go Glow empowers you to showcase your inner and outer glow, while a portion of the proceeds supports local sports communities and female career education initiatives with Nature Dream Bali. IOW, essentially the closet of someone who lives in a romantic hut next to the ocean, and wakes daily to the sound of birds chirping. (And even if that's kinda the polar opposite of your actual reality, it's nice to play fantasy with your clothes, no?)

Prepare to shop for pieces you'll wear for sweating and lounging and swimming and dancing and, ya know, everything.

A smooth and stretchy yoga set is one of those closet heroes you end up reaching for all the time (and definitely not just for workouts). This one is made with buttery-soft material and has cute seashell details. But the real starring detail: It's reversible.

White tees work everywhere, very much including Bali (or your Bali state of mind, obv.). This one's made of luxe pima cotton and has a cool boxy cut, plus embroidered details on both front and back. Plan on wearing it with shorts, over a swimsuit—yeah, all the time, basically.

Sun, sand, and style go hand in hand, whether you're lounging on a tropical beach or enjoying a backyard getaway. Add a touch of charm to your beach look with crochet handbag charms—playful, boho, and undeniably cute. Handmade by local women in Bali, these stylish bag charms add personality to your tote, whether it’s filled with sunscreen or beach reads, and give off major vacation vibes. Perfect for pairing with breezy outfits or bright sun hats, they’re the ultimate touch of fun for your seaside days.

Um, sorry, but what could be more "I'm just here to chillax" than a sunshine-bright crocheted crop top? (Right answer: Nothing, nothing at all.) The perforated mesh cut is inspired by retro crochet but way softer, making your bliss that much easier to attain. Don't forget the matching shorts!

A swimsuit that's also a workout basic that's also...whatever you want it to be. The Bali version of yourself is ready for anything, at any time, which makes this cute tropical flower-inspired cutout design a fab pick. Plus, it's got the prettiest crochet trim on the back.

If Bali living had a uniform, it might just be this super-soft two-for-one. Yup, you heard that right: With this oh-so-cleverly constructed dress, you can take out the removable cups from the top, detach the straps, and fold over the fabric for a swingy skirt you'll want to live in.
