Hey babes! It’s your girl Zara here ✨ Okay, real talk. Not every summer moment makes the grid — but trust, every one of mine is soaked in style. From cheeky sun-chasing escapes to spontaneous beach picnics, I live for the stories that start in the sand. And what you wear? That’s your first chapter. So today, I'm spilling the iced oat tea on my ultimate swimwear edit — where every look serves and every piece comes from my go-to bikini brand in Australia, Dekota Swim.
We’re talking about pieces that hug you in all the right places, look fire in your stories, and feel like a second skin (minus the itch). Plus, I’ll be sharing some major styling tips, my top bikini two piece picks, and some behind-the-scenes reasons why Dekota Swim has my heart.
Ready to glow up your swim drawer? Let’s dive in.
📸 Main Character Energy: Bikini Trends That Rule My Feed
Trend alert: summer bikinis are getting bolder, better, and seriously more photogenic.
1. Colour Pop QueensNothing hits harder on cam than unapologetic colour. Say hello to my current obsession: the Brooklyn Bikini in Peach. She’s feminine, sunkissed, and screams "soft glam, poolside edition."
Other colourways worth the post:
Brooklyn Bikini in Citron for that lemon drop pop
Brooklyn Bikini in Fleurs if you’re into flirty florals
Pro tip: Shoot these during golden hour. You’re welcome.
2. Moody & MinimalSometimes a girl needs to go full black-tie but make it beach. That’s where the Calliope Bikini in Black comes in. This black two piece bathing suit is a certified slay with a high-gloss tan and layered gold chains.
It’s sleek, sculpting, and oh-so-Instagrammable. Pair it with retro sunnies and a silk headscarf? Obsessed.
3. Prints That Speak Fluent IconFrom tropical chaos to wild waves, printed swimwear is having a moment.
My faves:
Maya Bikini in Fruit Salad (cutest chaos)
Maya Bikini in Poppy (floral but fierce)
Maya Bikini in Aztec (boho baddie)

✨ Fit Check: Perfectly Snatched & Flawlessly Comfy
We need to talk about the fit, because honey, if it’s riding, sagging, or digging — it’s a no from me.
Dekota Swim nails it with pieces that are:
Double-lined for support
Stretchy AF but still sculpting
Designed for actual movement (dance break in the sand, anyone?)
Whether you’re curvier, petite, or somewhere in-between, there’s a style that hugs your body like it was designed for you.
🌊 Fabric That Feels Like a Sunset Kiss
What even is a bikini model bikini?
A "bikini model bikini" is the one that turns heads before you post it. It's that iconic cut, made for cameras and confidence.
Dekota Swim’s fabric feels like a gentle kiss from the sun — soft, breathable, and luxe without the guilt.
Let’s be real, babes: We all want the look and the values.
What makes a sustainable bathing suit better?
While Dekota Swim doesn’t yet use recycled fabrics, we’re focused on:
Longevity over landfill
Slow fashion drops — small batches = less waste
Plastic-free packaging — love that for us
We’re not perfect — but we’re intentional. Learn more on our About Us page.

ℹ️ FAQs: Babe, I Got You
How do I choose the right size?Check out the size guide — but if you're between, go for the larger one. Dekota Swim fits true-to-size but curve-hugs like magic.
Is buying swimwear online risky?Not with us. Friendly support, fast shipping, and an easy returns policy = no stress shopping.
Do you make eco swimwear?While we're not certified yet, we design every piece with durability and intention, to be loved longer.
💼 Shopping Tips from Your Swimwear Bestie
Always check the size guide before you buy — trust me, babes, nothing ruins a beach vibe faster than an off-fit top while you're trying to pose like a queen. Know your measurements and own them.
Don’t just buy one. Trust me, your bestie will try to steal it the second she sees you glowing in it. And you’ll end up “accidentally” matching at the beach — which, okay, can be iconic.
Want versatility? Go for black two piece bathing suits or timeless solid tones. These are your ride-or-die looks that pair with literally everything — hats, sarongs, sunnies, and moods.
Printed styles = peak story content. Think loud florals, bold patterns, or anything that pops under sunlight — your IG will thank you later.
And babe, let’s be real — confidence is the real accessory. But a perfectly fitted, curve-loving bikini in a killer shade? That’s the icing on the sun-kissed cake.
🌟 Final Thoughts: Stories Worth Wearing
Whether you’re packing for paradise, planning content days, or just hitting the backyard blow-up pool, your swimwear should make you feel something. Confidence. Comfort. Captivating energy.
With Dekota Swim, every piece is a story waiting to happen.
Until next time babes, stay snatched, stay sun-kissed, and don’t forget — she’s giving main character energy.
