Hey babes! 🌞 So, picture this: I was strutting along Bondi Beach last weekend, oversized sunnies on, playlist blasting, and yes — fully owning my Maya Bikini - Bluebottle vibes. The waves were doing their thing, the sand was sparkling, and honestly… I realised something. The hottest trend this summer isn’t just neon prints, cheeky cuts, or TikTok-worthy poses — it’s eco fashion swimwear. Yup, swimwear that slays and makes you feel like you’re doing a tiny little good for the planet.
Let’s get real for a sec. Shopping for bikinis is stressful. You either end up in a fluorescent fitting room wrestling with cups that don’t fit, or worse… buying pieces you’ll wear once and toss. And if you’re anything like me, you’re over the fast-fashion frenzy. That’s why the rise of eco swimwear is giving me life. Not only are these bikini two piece styles curating major main character energy, but they’re also designed to last — no landfill regrets here, babes.
So, whether you’re a beach babe, poolside influencer, or just here for the glow-up, I’ve rounded up all the reasons why sustainability in swimwear is actually sexy — plus some tips on how to pick your perfect summer bikini without losing your sass.
Why Eco Fashion Swimwear is the Ultimate Power Move
First off, let’s talk about what I mean by eco fashion swimwear. No, you don’t need to knit your bikini from hemp while meditating under a palm tree (unless that’s your vibe, props!). At Dekota Swim, it’s about quality-first pieces you’ll wear beyond the season. Think timeless designs, curve-hugging cuts, and durable fabrics that survive chlorine, saltwater, and your spontaneous TikTok dance challenges.
Case in point: my Penelope Bikini – Black has been through three weekend getaways, a rooftop pool party, and a cheeky midnight swim — still perfect. This isn’t just sustainable bathing suit energy; it’s “I look good, I feel good, I don’t waste my money” energy.
If you’re scrolling through Instagram and spotting influencers like @ella.in.bali or @sydneybeachbabe rocking a Maya Bikini – Flower Field, you’ll notice one thing: these bikinis aren’t just cute, they’re intentional. That’s the eco swimwear flex. Less “throwaway trends,” more “investment pieces that actually slay.”
Picking the Perfect Eco Fashion Bikini
Here’s where it gets juicy. Picking a bikini isn’t just about the colour or pattern — it’s about fit, cut, and confidence. Here are my insider tips for choosing your next bikini brand Australia loves:
1. Know Your Shape & Embrace It
Stop pretending your body needs to fit a template — your bikini should fit you. For small-chested babes, triangle tops like the Brooklyn Bikini – Citron create that extra oomph. For curvier babes, structured halters like the Penelope Bikini – Red are your best friend.
2. Think Longevity, Not Trend
A bikini two piece might be giving you TikTok-worthy vibes today, but will it survive beyond one summer? Invest in quality-first swimwear like the Stella Bikini – Red or Maya Bikini - Bluebottle. Durable fabrics = fewer replacements = less waste. That’s sustainability you can actually feel proud of.
3. Mix Prints & Colours Fearlessly
Eco fashion swimwear doesn’t mean boring. Pair a solid Penelope Bikini – Nude bottom with a patterned Maya Bikini – Poppy top. It’s playful, confident, and Instagram-ready. Trend alert: mismatched sets are officially hot this summer.
4. Size Isn’t Just a Number
Buying swimwear online can be tricky, but don’t mess! Dekota Swim makes it easy with guides that help you find your perfect fit without stepping foot in a fluorescent nightmare. Explore our full range of bikini two piece styles and find what actually works for you.
Why Sustainable Choices Make You Look Good
Here’s a hot tea moment: being eco-conscious in swimwear is straight-up attractive. Confidence isn’t just in your curves; it’s in your choices. Wearing eco swimwear or a sustainable bathing suit says: “I care, but I still slay.” And honestly, babes, nothing is hotter than responsible main character energy.
And yes, I get it — some brands hype “eco-friendly” fabrics, but at Dekota Swim, we keep it real:
“At Dekota Swim, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional. While our current swimwear isn’t made from recycled fabrics, we prioritise quality, durability, 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.”
So when you choose a summer bikini from our sustainable swimwear collection, you’re not just looking fab — you’re making a choice that feels good in your heart and your feed.
Tips for Styling Your Eco Swimwear
Let’s get to the fun part — styling! Because, babes, no one wants a cute black two piece bathing suit that just chills in the drawer. Here’s how to make your eco fashion swimwear shine:
Accessorise Wisely – Oversized sunnies, a straw hat, layered gold necklaces, and a woven tote scream beach goddess.
Layer Up – Denim shorts or a flowy sarong over a Maya Bikini – Ocean? Chef’s kiss.
Photo-Ready Poses – TikTok-worthy content isn’t accidental. Golden hour, low angles, and waves at the right spot make your beach pics pop.
Confidence is Everything – Slay isn’t about size, it’s about energy. Own your choice of eco swimwear like you own the day.
