Hey there, babes! It’s your girl Zara here ✨ Okay, let’s talk facts: nothing hits harder than a black two piece bathing suit. She’s bold. She’s timeless. She’s giving iconic beach energy. And let’s be real—if you don’t have one yet, what are you even doing?

But hold up—you know I’m not about to let you stop at just the bikini. Styling is everything, and today we’re diving deep into how to accessorize your black bikini for max impact. From chic sunnies to body chains that slay, I’m dropping all the styling gems to take your look from cute to cover-worthy.

Let’s get into it, shall we?


💕 Why Every Babe Needs a Black Two Piece Bathing Suit

Let’s just get this out of the way — the black two piece bathing suit is basically the little black dress of swimwear. It’s flattering AF on every body type, ultra-versatile, and basically a blank canvas for all your styling fantasies. Seriously, if you don’t have one yet, don’t mess!

My current obsession? The Penelope Bikini in Black. This beauty hugs in all the right places — think curve-enhancing fit meets soft stretch that feels like a vacation hug. Whether you’re soaking up sun poolside or living your best life beach clubbing in Mykonos (yes, babe, a girl can dream), she’s got your back. And your front. All day, every day.

The best part? A black two piece is timeless — it never goes out of style, making it the perfect staple in your swimwear rotation. Pair it with bold accessories, throw on a chic cover-up, or keep it minimal for that effortless cool vibe.

💎 Top 5 Accessories to Elevate Your Black Bikini Look

Babes, you don’t need to do much to make a black bikini pop—but a few accessories? Absolute game changer.

1. Layered Body Chains

Okay… obsessed. A delicate gold or silver body chain instantly adds luxury vibes. Wrap it around your waist or drape it across your torso. She's giving main character energy.

Hot Tip: Pair the Stella Bikini in Black with a gold body chain and oversized hoops. You’re not just showing up, you’re shutting it down.

2. Wide-Brimmed Hat

Shade, but make it fashion. A wide-brimmed straw or black hat adds instant glam while keeping your skin protected. Don’t forget your SPF, babes!

3. Statement Sunnies

Oversized. Angular. Maybe even a pop of color. Your sunnies should match your mood. Think Rihanna in the Bahamas.

4. Beach Sarong or Sheer Skirt

You’re not walking to the cabana in your towel. Throw on a sheer black sarong or a slinky mesh skirt over your bikini bottoms. Bonus points if it matches your jewelry.

5. Chunky Sandals or Strappy Heels

Whether you're at a rooftop pool or a beach bar, footwear matters. Opt for comfy-chic sandals or level up with platform heels for those golden hour pics.


Fit Check: Perfectly Snatched & Flawlessly Comfy

Let’s break it down: the Penelope Bikini in Black is made for movement and moments. The high-cut bottoms snatch your waist while the top gives just the right amount of support. Whether you’re lounging or dancing on the sand, she’s not budging.

Fit Tip: If you’re in between sizes, size up for that ultra-relaxed beach fit. Need more help? Check out our About Us for info on sizing, customer care, and our brand values.


🌺 Fabric That Feels Like a Sunset Kiss

Alright babes, here’s the tea — at Dekota Swim, we’re not about those quick-fix, throwaway trends. Our swimwear, including that iconic black two piece, isn’t made from recycled fabrics just yet (we’re working on it, pinky promise!). But what we do obsess over is longevity and slow fashion — because a bikini that lasts is a bikini that truly slays.

When you rock a black two piece bathing suit from us, you’re not just flexing on the 'Gram for one summer and tossing it aside. Nope, honey, you’re investing in a piece that’s designed to live with you through all your sun-soaked adventures.

Here’s what makes our fabric feel like a sunset kiss every time you slip it on:

  • Durability that defies seasons — Our fabrics are crafted to last way past that one summer fling. You know that feeling when you find a summer bikini that hugs you just right and never lets go? Yeah, that’s Dekota.

  • Smaller batch production — Less waste, more exclusivity. By producing in smaller runs, we avoid overstock disasters and keep things fresh. That means fewer bikinis gathering dust in a warehouse and more loving homes for your fave styles.

  • Plastic-free packaging — Because saving the planet is always in fashion, and we want to do our bit with eco-conscious packaging that doesn’t scream “single-use disaster.”

So, babes, when you choose a Dekota black two piece, you’re choosing quality-first swimwear made with intention. It’s not just a look — it’s a lifestyle. A vibe. Main character energy, but make it sustainable.

If you’re here for the long haul and ready to level up your swimwear game, you gotta check out our full range of slow fashion swimwear — designed for longevity, not landfill. Trust me, your future self (and the planet) will thank you.


💄 Q&A: Let’s Spill the Bikini Tea

Q: What is a bikini model bikini?
A: Babes, a "bikini model bikini" is just code for a jaw-dropping, high-impact suit designed to hug every curve. It’s usually minimal, fitted, and made to shine in front of a camera or IRL. The Calliope Bikini in Black? She’s that girl.

Q: What makes a sustainable bathing suit better?
A: It’s not just the fabric, it’s the mindset. A sustainable bathing suit is all about longevity, conscious production, and low-waste living. At Dekota, our focus is on small batch runs, timeless cuts, and durable fabric—so you buy less, wear more, and feel good doing it.

🚀 Final Thoughts: Confidence Is Your Best Accessory

Babe, never forget—it’s not about the bikini, the accessories, or the lighting. It’s about how you own it. The way you walk into that beach club like you designed it. The way your laugh turns heads before your bikini does.

So whether you’re rocking the Penelope Bikini or living your best life in the Stella, just know: You are the moment.

Let’s stay vibing, let’s stay bold, and let’s keep slaying one bikini at a time.

Stay hot, stay hydrated — and I’ll catch you poolside ✨

Xx, Zara
