If you're still plugging away at that New Year's resolution to be more fit in 2025, first: Good for you! Second: It's a universal fact that nothing inspires people to work out more than cute new clothes.
What if you could also support Texas brands while restocking your bicycle shorts, athletic dresses, and swimsuits?
We first introduced you to five fitness-focused Texas clothiers in 2021 — all of which are still operating — but here are some new brands you'll want to add-to-cart:

Tito's x William Murray
Hit the links in special-edition golf gear from this collab between Texas' oldest legal distillery and the Austin-based golf clothing brand inspired by legendary funnyman Bill Murray and his brothers. The partnership first came about in 2011, and has since expanded from its initial three shirts.
The polos and button-downs are made using moisture-wicking, four-way-stretch material and sun-protection technology, while the tees are 100 percent ringspun cotton. You can even buy a Tito's x VESSEL caddy cooler for your back-nine cocktails.
As a bonus, a portion of each merch sale goes toward the buyer's choice of five nonprofits, which include Emancipet, Hire Heroes USA, Meals on Wheels America, Musicians On Call, and the National Park Foundation.

Touted as Fort Worth's first athleisure boutique, Move was founded by Kara Baker in 2018. It stocks more than 20 on-trend brands that merge athletic wear, street wear, and swimwear, in a setting that's designed to empower women.
The shop is so dedicated to an enjoyable shopping experience that they offers beverage service and even have a big-screen TV for those that want to watch the game.

Hunter Bell Swim
Houston-based designer Hunter Bell is bringing her bold prints to the water, with a new collection of swimwear debuting just in time for summer.
The collection, inspired by the Gasparilla Inn in Florida, includes eight beautifully crafted pieces, ranging from one-pieces to bikinis, rashguards, and sarongs.
This swimwear drop follows Bell's successful collaboration with swim and resortwear brand Marysia in 2024.
Bell's new offerings also include the return of her popular Hunter Bell Kids line, as well as a collaboration with fellow Houston-based brand Freya on two new hats.

Speaking of swimwear, those who are blessed with, erm, less in the chest area should be aware of Dallas designer Hartley Lynn's line of suits, which are aimed at women with AA to C cups.
A self-proclaimed member of the “Itty Bitty Titty Committee,” Lynn wanted to design swimsuits that wouldn’t “fake it” but simply enhance what she had without lumpy padding or inserts.
What began in 2022 with just five items has now expanded into 40-plus, along with cover-ups, towels, and other beach or pool-side accessories.

DBS Living
Houstonians Larry Leonard and Sukaina Rajani (of Macaron by Patisse fame) launched a line of athleisure apparel called DBS Living (Don't be Scared) in 2023.
They recently added pickleball gear — with four-way stretch and two pockets for balls — that includes tops, shorts, and paddles for men and women.

You can't ever have enough pickleball gear, and that's why Houston-based tennis and pickleball pros Jimmy Celli and Scott Farwell created their line of bags, trucker hats, socks, tanks, and accessories.
The bags especially feel like a status symbol, and if you can't make it to the North Houston shop then there's free shipping for all online purchases.

Soley Fit
Former ABC13 Houston reporter Stefania Okolie founded Soley Fit to support and unite women while telling the story of who they are.
The online brand rocketed to fame with its best-selling sporty onesies and has since expanded into tennis dresses and skirts, sports bras, tanks, tops, and leggings.
The brand's blog is also packed with advice, ranging from tips about hot yoga to what to wear to a pilates class.
