When it comes to swimwear, there’s one piece that reigns supreme—the black two piece bathing suit. Effortlessly elegant, undeniably powerful, and eternally flattering, this classic combination is the definition of refined summer style.
At Dekota Swim, we’ve taken the traditional black bikini swimwear and elevated it with our signature cuts, luxury fabrics, and an Australian edge. Whether you’re lounging poolside, diving into waves, or simply soaking up the sun, our black two pieces are built to make you look and feel unstoppable.


Why Black Always Wins

Black isn’t just a colour—it’s a statement. It flatters every skin tone, streamlines every silhouette, and adds an element of sophistication no other colour can replicate. It’s sleek. It’s bold. And it never goes out of style.

Here’s why women everywhere love it:
• Flattering on all body types
• Easily styled with cover-ups or accessories
• Ideal for photos—black pops in golden-hour light
• Transcends trends—it’s always in fashion

A black two piece is the swimwear version of the little black dress. If you only own one bikini, let it be this one.


The Dekota Difference

Not all black bikinis are created equal. At Dekota Swim, we design each black two piece bathing suit with precision:
• High-cut bottoms to elongate the legs
• Supportive tops that lift and shape
• Buttery-soft fabrics that hug your curves
• Sustainable options available in select collections

Each piece is tested in real-world conditions—saltwater, sun, and sand—to ensure it looks just as good after 50 wears as it did on day one.


Bestselling Black Two Pieces

  1. The Stella Bikini – Fierce & Feminine
    This sculpted two-piece features a bandeau-style top and cheeky bottoms with ruched detailing. Seen in campaign photos on Zara Dekota with a surfboard in the background, it’s a fan favourite.

  2. The Calliope Bikini – Minimalist Magic
    A modern triangle design that offers adjustable support, perfect for sunbathing or swimming. Its classic black finish makes it endlessly wearable.

  3. The Penelope Bikini – Model-Approved
    Clean lines, matte black fabric, and micro-strap sides—this set was made for elevated simplicity. It’s subtle, sexy, and supremely comfortable.

Each of these is part of our black swimwear capsule, curated to give every woman her dream fit.


Explore Our Bikini Icons: Four Ways to Wear Black

When we say the black two piece bathing suit is iconic, we mean it literally. At Dekota Swim, we’ve curated four signature styles under our Bikini Icons collection—all in jet black and all designed to make a lasting impression.

Each bikini reflects a different facet of the modern woman—bold, soft, edgy, or classic. Whether you’re looking to show off your curves or embrace minimalist elegance, you’ll find your match in this legendary line-up:

  1. Penelope Bikini – Understated Luxe
    Penelope is our answer to effortless style. Featuring slim, adjustable straps and minimalist bottoms, this set is perfect for the woman who values simplicity with an edge. It’s clean, sleek, and endlessly versatile—your go-to bikini for tanning, layering, or poolside lounging.

  2. Scarlett Bikini – Bold with Structure
    The Scarlett is made for impact. With a deep-V neckline and sculpted cups, it’s the bikini you choose when you want all eyes on you. Pair it with a maxi skirt and you’ve got an outfit that transitions from beach to bar without missing a beat.

  3. Calliope Bikini – A Classic Reinvented
    Calliope reimagines the triangle bikini with updated proportions and luxe finishes. It’s ideal for long days at the beach, offering comfort without compromising on style. The string-tie bottoms add a flirtatious touch that’s loved by our beach babes and surf queens alike.

  4. Stella Bikini – Power Meets Play
    And finally, there’s Stella—the crown jewel of the collection. Sculpted, high-cut, and totally unforgettable, the Stella black bikini is pure attitude in swimwear form. Recently featured in our sunset shoot with Zara Dekota splashing through the waves, this piece embodies everything we stand for: freedom, confidence, and feminine strength.

That moment—sunlight catching the water, Zara laughing as the tide rolls in, the silhouette of her Stella bikini glowing against the horizon—perfectly captures the Dekota Swim vibe. It’s not just about the bikini. It’s about the moment you become unforgettable in it.


A Symbol of Confidence

There’s something undeniably powerful about slipping into a black two piece. It’s sleek, commanding, and quietly fierce. Our customers tell us they feel more confident, more put-together, and more themselves when wearing it.

That’s because the black bikini isn’t about hiding—it’s about owning. You’re not trying to stand out. You just do.


Versatility That Goes Beyond the Beach

Your black two piece isn’t limited to sandy shores or poolside lounging. Our pieces are designed to pair effortlessly with:
• Linen shirts and wide-brim hats for casual brunches or daytime strolls
• Maxi skirts and gold hoops for chic rooftop parties or sunset gatherings
• Oversized blazers for modern resortwear looks that transition seamlessly from day to night

It’s swimwear, yes—but also a stylish base layer for summer fashion essentials. Whether you’re heading to the beach, a beach club, or a lively pool party, this bikini works perfectly for every vibe and occasion.
