Hey babes! 🌞 Okay, so picture this: last weekend I was cruising through Byron Bay, iced oat latte in hand, hair still salty from the surf, and rocking my Lyra Bikini – Pink from Dekota Swim, because yes, it’s that iconic. Honestly, I hadn’t even hit the café before three girls stopped me mid-walk, gasping, “Where’s that bikini from?” That’s when it hit me — finding eco swimwear Australia that actually looks this good and lasts? Totally a glow-up for your wardrobe.
It got me thinking… why is it so hard to find swimwear that actually checks all the boxes? Cute, flattering, long-lasting, and conscious of the planet? Enter: eco swimwear Australia. Today, we’re diving into all the ways you can slay the summer season with swimwear that looks fire and is made with intention — because babes, looking good doesn’t have to cost the earth. 🌊
Why Eco Swimwear Actually Matters
Let’s keep it real: the fast-fashion swimwear game is wild. You know the type — flimsy fabrics, fading colours, elastic that gives up after one beach day. It’s a nightmare if you’re trying to build a wardrobe that lasts beyond a single season. Enter eco swimwear Australia: pieces designed for longevity, not landfill.
At Dekota Swim, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional. Our current collection isn’t made from recycled fabrics yet, but we prioritise:
Durable pieces → fewer replacements, less waste
Timeless designs → styles you’ll love season after season
Smaller batch production → less overstock, less landfill
Plastic-free packaging → because even little things matter
Basically, we’re giving you slow fashion swimwear, made with intention, without compromising on the vibes.
The Rise of Eco Swimwear Australia: Trends to Try Now
1. Bold, Beach-Ready Colours
Forget sad neutrals. 2025 is all about vibrant, TikTok-worthy colours. Think citrus shades, electric blues, and luscious pinks. My personal fave? The Brooklyn Bikini – Fleurs. It’s literally a glow-up in fabric form. Pair her with oversized sunnies and a woven beach tote, and you’re giving main character energy at every beach café stop.
Styling tip: Mix-and-match colours with neutral covers or hats. The bolder your bikini, the better your grid looks — trust me, @sydneybeachbabe would agree.

2. Curve-Hugging, Flattering Cuts
Nothing screams confidence like a bikini that fits just right. The Penelope Bikini – Nude is a classic black two piece bathing suit alternative that slays every body type. High-waist bottoms? Check. Adjustable straps? Double check. Comfortable enough to eat all the gelato you want post-swim? Obviously.
Pro tip: Look for bikinis with ruching, adjustable ties, or supportive tops — because if your swimwear isn’t making you feel unstoppable, it’s doing it wrong.
3. Timeless Prints and Minimalism
Sometimes, less is more. If you’re not about constant micro-trends, the Lyra Bikini – Purple is calling your name. A minimalist cut, chic colour, and an effortless vibe that will make you feel like a beachside influencer without even trying.
Pair with a linen button-down for brunch, and you’re basically channeling @ella.in.bali without leaving your local shores.
4. Patterns That Pop
From florals to tribal motifs, playful prints are still a massive mood. The Maya Bikini – Strawberry is perfect for girls who love a little sass with their surf. Every wave, every sunbeam, it just pops in photos. And babes, you know your Instagram grid will thank you.
Pro tip: Match your bikini with neutral accessories if you’re doing patterns. Let the print speak for itself.
