Introduction
Hey babes, let’s talk holidays in Australia. You know the vibe — you’ve finally booked that trip, visions of Aperol spritzes and endless sunshine are dancing in your head… and then bam. You open your drawer, pull out last year’s bikini, and realise the straps are stretched, the colour’s faded, and the fit is straight-up betrayal. Time for a Sustainable Bathing Suit that actually lasts and keeps you slaying on every holiday.
We’ve all been there. Fast-fashion swimwear has tricked us into thinking it’s normal to buy a new bikini every trip, only for it to give up after three wears. Not only does it burn through your wallet, but it’s also a one-way ticket to landfills.
But here’s the glow-up: investing in a sustainable bathing suit in Australia (i.e., a timeless, quality-first piece that lasts) means you can slay on holiday and feel good about your choices. Dekota Swim is here to deliver just that — curve-loving cuts, holiday-approved colours, and designs that aren’t just for one summer, but for all your summers.
So today, I’m breaking down the sustainable bathing suit looks that will make your next holiday feel like main character energy. We’ll cover what makes them better, the hottest styles right now, and how to pick the one that feels like you.
Why a Sustainable Bathing Suit Is the Move
Okay, let’s spill. What makes a sustainable bathing suit different from a throwaway bikini?
• Longevity over landfill: Durable fabrics and timeless cuts mean fewer replacements.
• Quality-first design: No saggy straps, no see-through disasters, no regret purchases.
• Holiday confidence: You’re not worried about a wardrobe malfunction mid-beach-club.
At Dekota Swim, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional. While our current swimwear isn’t made from recycled fabrics, we focus on slow fashion swimwear, featuring smaller batch production, plastic-free packaging, and designs that remain relevant long after the TikTok trend cycle has passed.
That’s what makes a bikini brand in Australia like Dekota Swim worth your energy: your bathing suit is more than just fabric, it’s an investment in yourself.
Holiday Looks That Actually Slay
Here’s how to build a holiday swim wardrobe that feels chic, versatile, and totally Instagram-ready.
1. The Bold Statement Bikini
When the resort is basically your runway, nothing hits harder than a stand-out print. Enter the Maya Bikini – Aztec. She’s colourful, playful, and looks like she was designed for golden-hour poolside cocktails. Pair her with oversized sunglasses, slicked-back hair, and a linen button-up left open for the drama.

2. The Chic Black Classic
Every holiday suitcase needs a little black bikini. Think of it as your swimwear LBD — timeless, sultry, and impossible to get wrong. The Penelope Bikini – Black is a black two piece bathing suit that screams sophistication without even trying. Dress it up with chunky gold hoops and a sarong, or keep it minimal for those early-morning dips.
This one lasts, babes—no fading, no sad elastic, just forever chic.

3. The Playful Pop of Colour
Vacations = an excuse to wear colours you’d never dare to rock at home. I’m obsessed with the Brooklyn Bikini – Orange because she’s loud in the best way. Perfect for beach clubs, boat days, and when you’re channelling that “yes, I’m the main character” vibe.
Style tip: add a sheer white cover-up, slick your hair into a bun, and you’re instantly serving rich auntie on holiday.
4. Modest but Major
Sometimes you want coverage without compromising style. That’s where the Lyra Bikini – Purple comes in hot. With more support and a flattering cut, she’s ideal for days when you want to move freely (snorkelling, paddleboarding, or just chasing the sangria guy on the beach). It’s giving confidence with ease.
Styling Tips for Holiday Swim
Your bathing suit is the base. Here’s how to elevate it:
• Layer like a pro: Sarongs, oversized shirts, crochet dresses — instant outfit transformation.
• Jewellery matters: Chunky earrings or body chains make your swim look fashionable.
• Mix & match: Pair tops and bottoms from different sets (like mixing a Calliope Bikini – Green top with a Brooklyn Bikini – Peach bottom).
FAQs — Because I Know You’re Wondering
Q: What is a bikini model bikini?
A “bikini model bikini” is basically that head-turning, editorial-worthy set that looks straight out of a campaign shoot. Think bold colours, flattering cuts, and fits designed to show off. At Dekota Swim, pieces like the Scarlett Bikini – Silver and Maya Bikini – Starfish give that exact vibe.
Q: What makes a sustainable bathing suit better?
Durability and timelessness. Instead of a flimsy piece that lasts only one holiday, a sustainable bathing suit from Dekota Swim is designed to accompany you season after season. That means less waste, less shopping stress, and a whole lot more confidence.
