Cold swims at dawn, reef dives in the Maldives, surf breaks in Cornwall – more and more women are getting back in the water, not just for fitness, but for focus. The sea offers an antidote to the overstimulation of everyday life: a reset button you can’t find on land. It’s grounding, exhilarating, and, as anyone who’s dipped into wild water knows, strangely addictive.

That rise in women seeking out the water is being matched by a new wave of kit designed to meet them there. Amsterdam-born brand Wallien is leading the charge with waterwear that actually fits, performs, and looks good – while steering clear of petroleum-based neoprene and plastic-heavy fabrics. Instead, its wetsuits are made from Yulex® natural rubber and its swimwear from recycled ocean plastics. It’s a refreshing approach: sustainable, stylish, and built to last.

The Horizonia Yulex® Springsuit is a standout – flexible, warm, and cut with a streamlined fit that feels like a second skin. For calmer conditions, the signature one-piece swimsuit is sculpted for movement and comfort, whether that’s wave-watching in Newquay or snorkelling in Laamu. Post-swim, the all-weather changing robe earns its keep, keeping you warm and dry when the elements don’t play nice.

This isn’t just about gear – it’s about giving yourself the tools to get into the water more often, whether you’re diving off a boat in the Red Sea or joining a sunrise swim club closer to home. Because the ocean is more than scenery. It’s a place to reset, to reconnect, and to remember what your body can do.

Wallien's approach makes answering that call easier: thoughtful design, sustainable materials, and kit that performs as well as it looks. In other words: everything you need when the water’s the only place that makes sense.
