Getting ready for summer

There’s something magical about summer. The longer days, the spontaneous adventures, the promise of sun-kissed memories — it’s the season when everything feels lighter and brighter. As Singaporeans gear up for another sweltering few months, there’s no better time to prep yourself from head to toe. Whether it’s refreshing your wardrobe, protecting your skin, or even toning up for beach days, getting ready for summer is practically a ritual. Here’s how to breeze into the season looking and feeling your best — and how using flexible payment options like Atome can make it all a little easier on your wallet too.

Shield Your Glow

First things first: sunscreen is non-negotiable. With Singapore’s tropical sun in full force, safeguarding your skin should be at the top of your summer checklist. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or just braving your daily commute, a good sunscreen protects against premature ageing, dark spots, and of course, sunburn.

Sephora remains a go-to destination for finding high-quality sun protection. From lightweight, invisible formulas perfect for everyday wear to water-resistant options ideal for outdoor adventures, there’s no shortage of choice. Brands like Supergoop!, Dr. Jart+, and Shiseido are just a few standouts that offer broad-spectrum SPF without that dreaded greasy feel. Remember, sunscreen isn’t just a beauty product — it’s your skin’s lifelong bodyguard.

Turn Up the Heat (Fashionably)

Summer style is all about effortless cool — breezy fabrics, vibrant colours, and silhouettes that dance in the wind. Say goodbye to stuffy layers and hello to dreamy dresses, relaxed co-ords, and flirty skirts.

Lovet is known for its flattering cuts and easy-to-style basics that can take you from brunch to beach with minimal fuss. Modparade, on the other hand, offers playful, trend-driven pieces with a touch of whimsical charm — perfect for making a statement during your summer outings. If your vibe leans towards chic and timeless, The Closet Lover has summer staples that are as versatile as they are stylish.

Building a summer wardrobe might sound like an indulgence, but with Atome, you can easily split your haul into three manageable payments. That way, you can stock up on all the breezy pieces you need without melting down over your budget.

Stay Cool on the Go

In Singapore’s unforgiving humidity, a portable fan is practically a fashion accessory in itself. Whether you’re queueing for hawker food, exploring outdoor markets, or commuting during the mid-day heatwave, a compact fan is a summer essential.

Metapod offers sleek, lightweight fans that are powerful enough to keep you cool while fitting neatly into your handbag or backpack. Many models even come with USB charging options, so you’ll never have to worry about running out of battery when you need it most. A portable fan might just be your best friend during a heatwave, second only to your sunscreen.

Sculpt and Sweat

Beyond the outfits and accessories, summer is also about feeling your strongest and most confident. If you’re dreaming of those “feel-good” endorphins and a little extra tone for your beach days, it’s time to roll out the mat and get moving.

The Flow Studio offers Pilates classes that focus on strength, flexibility, and body awareness, all while being gentle on the joints. From reformer sessions to mat work, the low-impact nature of Pilates makes it a fantastic way to build lean muscles and improve posture. Plus, the mind-body connection you develop can help you manage stress better.

By investing in a few classes, you’re not just prepping for summer aesthetics, you’re nurturing your health for the long haul. And with payment options like Atome, even committing to a class package feels a lot more manageable.

Juggling all your summer prep plans? That’s where Atome comes in. As a leading digital financial services platform, Atome lets you split your purchases into three easy, interest-free instalments.
