Hey babes! Okay, real talk — last weekend I was strutting along Byron Bay in my Lyra Bikini – Purple, iced oat latte in hand, hair salty and windswept, and I swear every girl at the surf club did a double-take. One even asked, “Wait, is that a bikini two piece from Dekota Swim?” — yes queen, you guessed it. That moment right there? Proof that the right bikini isn’t just a piece of swimwear, it’s confidence in two pieces.

Let’s be honest: shopping for bikinis in-store is basically a test of your patience. Dim lighting, weird fitting rooms, bottoms that mysteriously vanish in your size… if your bikini can’t take you from Bondi brunch to a Bali beach bar without a wardrobe malfunction, is it even worth it? That’s where a bikini two piece from Dekota Swim comes in — designed for glowing up, sassy summer vibes, and TikTok-worthy snaps that scream main character energy.

In this post, I’m spilling the tea on why the bikini two piece is your ultimate summer staple, my fave styling hacks, and how to slay every beach-to-bar look with minimal effort. Let’s dive in.


Why a Bikini Two Piece is the Summer MVP

First things first, babes — a bikini two piece isn’t just a practical pick; it’s a whole mood. Unlike one-piece suits that sometimes feel restrictive (sorry, not sorry), a two-piece gives you:

  • Mix-and-match freedom – Pair a top from your Maya Bikini – Starfish with a bottom from the Penelope Bikini – Black, or go full monochrome for sleek vibes.

  • All-day versatility – Brunch, beach, surf, pool party — one set does it all.

  • Confidence boost – A two-piece hugs your curves in all the right places and lets you show off a lil’ skin without feeling exposed.

If you’re still not sold, babes, consider the influencers. @ella.in.bali was recently flaunting the Brooklyn Bikini – Citron on her IG reel, and let me tell you, her squad was immediately asking for links. That’s bikini brand Australia energy done right.


Choosing Your Perfect Bikini Two Piece

Okay, let’s get down to the juicy part: picking a set that actually slays. Dekota Swim makes it easy because every piece is designed with longevity in mind — none of that fast-fashion flimsy nonsense.

1. Find Your Flattering Cut

Every body is a bikini body, babes, but shape matters. Here’s the lowdown:

  • Triangle tops like the Lyra Bikini – Pink are perfect for small-to-medium busts and give max cleavage vibes.

  • Bandeau styles like the Calliope Bikini – Green are ideal for tanning sessions — no strap marks, all sun-kissed glory.

  • High-waisted bottoms (hello Penelope Bikini – Nude) elongate legs and provide that retro glamour we’re all secretly living for.

Pro tip: Don’t just eyeball it — grab your tape measure and check the sizing guide online. Buying swimwear online is so much better than in-store drama, trust.

2. Colour & Print Game

Summer is not the time for safe neutrals (unless that’s your vibe). Think Maya Bikini – Fruit Salad for playful, TikTok-ready pops of colour, or Brooklyn Bikini – Myrtille for chill, pastel sophistication. Mixing textures, prints, and bold colours elevates your bikini two piece from cute to “OMG she’s glowing up” status.

3. Fabric & Feel

Quality-first swimwear = happiness. Dekota Swim focuses on durability, so your summer bikini lasts season after season. Yes, we’re talking curve-hugging, chlorine-resistant, soft-on-skin goodness — basically, the sustainable bathing suit of your dreams without the environmental greenwashing.


Styling Your Bikini Two Piece Like a Main Character

Okay babes, now that you’ve snagged your perfect set, let’s talk style hacks. I’m not just talking towels and sunnies — we’re talking main character energy all day, every day.

  • Beach-to-bar ready: Throw on a sheer sarong or oversized linen shirt, add slides, chunky sunnies, and your latte (or cocktail) — instant Insta-ready.

  • Layer your jewellery: Minimalist chains, stacked bracelets, and tiny hoops instantly elevate your bikini two piece.

  • Play with textures: Crochet, ribbed, or matte fabrics? Pair them together for a high-fashion, effortlessly sassy vibe.

And babes, don’t forget the ultimate trick: UGC power. Snap that mirror selfie, tag @dekotaswim.official, and you might just be featured. Nothing screams influencer vibes like real-life reviews and reels showing off your summer bikini.

  • Penelope Bikini – Black: Sleek, chic, and a classic black two piece bathing suit you’ll reach for every summer.
