Hey babes 🌞 — can we talk about the magic of a Black Two Piece for a sec? So last weekend, I was sprawled out on Bondi’s north end, playlist blasting (obviously), iced oat latte melting in the sand beside me, and wearing my Penelope Bikini – Black. The sun was doing that golden shimmer thing, the waves were practically applauding, and I swear every second person walking past glanced twice. Even my mate Tash, who literally lives in linen pants, whispered, “Wait… you’re glowing.”
That’s the thing about a black two piece bathing suit — she’s not trying hard, she’s just effortlessly iconic.
Okay, let’s be honest. Shopping for swimwear in-store is chaos.
Tiny fluorescent-lit change rooms. Weird mirrors that warp your vibe. Half the sizes missing. And those clingy sales assistants who somehow appear the second you dare to try something on — but disappear when you actually need another size.
And don’t even get me started on how many “black bikinis” end up looking navy in daylight. The betrayal. 😭
That’s why I stopped playing the fitting room lottery and started to buy black two piece online — specifically from Dekota Swim. Because once you’ve felt the main character energy of unboxing your bikini at home (cue dramatic reveal in your full-length mirror with perfect lighting), you will never go back.
Why a Black Two Piece Is Always That Girl
Let’s call it what it is: the black two piece bathing suit is the Audrey Hepburn of swimwear. Timeless. Chic. Universally flattering.
When the hot pinks and neons trend come and go, black stays unbothered — glowing in her quiet luxury era.
Here’s why I’m obsessed:
It slays every skin tone. Whether you’re post-Eurotrip bronzed or just easing into your summer glow, black makes your skin pop.
It’s TikTok-worthy from every angle. Honestly, I’ve filmed like six mirror reels in my Penelope Bikini – Black and they all hit. Even the bloopers.
It pairs with everything. Oversized white shirt? Sheer sarong? Denim shorts? Black is the neutral queen.
It gives high-fashion vibes without trying. Think @ella.in.bali sipping coconuts or @sydneybeachbabe doing golden hour twirls. The whole feed just levels up.
Styling Tips to Make It Serve
A black bikini might be classic, but she’s never boring if you know how to style her. Here’s my cheat sheet for peak main character energy:
Statement sunnies. Go full glam — think oversized 90s frames or skinny Y2K styles. Black swimwear loves drama.
Layered jewellery. Gold hoops and delicate chains instantly make your bikini two piece look editorial.
Textures + contrasts. Throw on a breezy white linen button-up or crochet cover-up for that effortless beach-to-bar look.
Pop of colour accessories. Neon tote, citrus slides, or even a bold red mani against black swimwear? Iconic.
And if you want a subtle switch-up without leaving the black vibe, the Scarlett Bikini – Black brings this high-shine finish that photographs so well. It’s giving “supermodel off-duty” in Capri.
Where to Buy (Without the Stressy Vibes)
So here’s the tea: if you want to buy black two piece online in Australia without risking an existential crisis in a changing room, explore our full range of bikini two piece styles at Dekota Swim.
What makes it worth it?
Quality-first design. These aren’t the kind of bikinis that stretch out after two dips. They hold their shape and their sass.
Made in smaller batches. No overstock piles, just thoughtful production runs.
Timeless cuts. Think flattering high-waisted bottoms, curve-sculpting triangle tops, and fits you’ll love next summer and the summer after that.
At Dekota Swim, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional.
While our current swimwear isn’t made from recycled fabrics, we prioritise durability, quality, and timeless designs over throwaway trends. That means fewer replacements, longer life, and less waste. We’re working toward more sustainable choices with each season — starting with our packaging and conscious production runs.
If you’ve ever wondered what makes a sustainable bathing suit better, it’s this: it lasts. When a bikini doesn’t fall apart after one summer, you’re reducing waste without even trying. That’s slow fashion, baby.
Bonus: How to Nail Your Fit Online
I know what you’re thinking — “Zara, what if I get the size wrong?” Babes, I’ve got you:
Use the size guide. It’s shockingly accurate. Measure once, glow forever.
Check the fabric stretch. Most of our styles, like the Penelope Bikini – Black, have a soft stretch that hugs your curves without digging.
Read reviews. The girlies are honest (bless them) — and you’ll often find twinsies with your body type sharing fit tips.
And if you ever feel unsure, the team is honestly the sweetest — just shoot a DM or message through the about us page. They actually reply (wild, I know).
Black Two Piece = Your Summer Investment Piece
Let’s be real — summer wardrobes change faster than TikTok trends. But a black bikini? She’s not going anywhere.
Buying swimwear online doesn’t have to be a gamble when you stick to classics that actually last. The Penelope Bikini – Black is my go-to because it’s:
Versatile: Beach day, yacht party, poolside lounging — she adapts.
Flattering: Sculpted cut that somehow gives every body “just came from Pilates” vibes.
Confidence-boosting: I swear I walk taller in it. Like… is this what glowing up feels like?
It’s also perfect if you’ve been eyeing those bikini model bikini reels on TikTok. You know the ones — glowy skin, salty hair, slow-mo twirl in perfect light. Yeah. That can be you.
