A bikini two piece isn’t just for the beach anymore—it’s the ultimate summer wardrobe essential. At Dekota Swim, we believe that your bikini should work as hard as you do: sun-up to sundown, sand to street, surf to soirée.
Whether you're lounging poolside, heading to a long lunch, or dancing barefoot on the sand, the bikini two piece is more than a swimwear staple—it’s a fashion statement. The beauty of two-piece sets is in the versatility: you can mix, match, layer, and elevate your look in countless ways.
Here’s your ultimate guide to styling a bikini two piece for every summer moment, using some of our favourite pieces from the Dekota Swim collection.
☀️ 1. Sunrise Beach Walk
Early beach walks are sacred in Australia. The sun’s rising, the air is crisp, and the ocean is calm. Pair your bikini two piece with:
• A linen oversized button-up
• Straw visor or cap
• White sneakers or barefoot confidence
We love pairing our Stella Top and Calliope Bottoms with a sheer neutral-toned shirt—it’s breathable, effortlessly cool, and lets your bikini shine through. The perfect look for morning mindfulness with style.
🧺 2. Coastal Brunch Vibes
After a dip, head to brunch without changing outfits. How? Use your bikini as your base and build up from there:
• Add a flowy wrap skirt or high-waisted palazzo pants
• Gold layered necklaces or shell accents
• Slides or woven sandals
The Scarlett Bikini in black becomes instantly elevated when worn with a silky maxi skirt and statement earrings. It’s laid-back luxe that screams “I woke up like this.”
🛻 3. Road Trip Chic
Australia’s coastlines are made for road trips. A bikini two piece is your road trip MVP—it dries fast, layers well, and keeps you photo-ready at every stop. Think:
• High-rise shorts
• A crop hoodie or ribbed tank over your bikini top
• Chunky sneakers or hiking sandals
We recommend bold colours like the Penelope Bikini in orange—it pops against dusty roads and outback tones. Throw on a wide-brimmed hat and keep your camera ready.
🏖️ 4. Pool Party to Afterparty
Nothing says summer quite like a pool party that turns into a night out. For this, your bikini two piece needs to be stylish, sexy, and multifunctional:
• Choose metallic or luxe fabrics (try the Zara Bikini in Emerald)
• Add a mesh cover-up or mini dress
• Finish with platform slides, bold sunnies, and glossy lips
Don’t be afraid to show a little more skin—it’s the perfect moment for confidence and sparkle.
🌊 5. Surf-Ready Simplicity
When you’re in and out of the water, functionality is key—but style doesn’t have to take a back seat. Choose:
• Sportier silhouettes
• No-slip coverage (we design with movement in mind)
• Add a rashie or zip-up if needed
Our Ari Bikini Set offers comfort without compromise. Designed for motion, it stays in place whether you're riding waves or paddling through shallows.
🍹 6. Beach Bar Sunset Hour
Sunset cocktails call for a soft, romantic vibe. Layer your bikini into a dreamy, feminine look:
• Sarong tied as a midi
• Drape a fine-knit cardigan or open kaftan
• Add glowy skin and statement hoops
The Lyra Bikini in lilac or blush is your sunset star. Pair it with a low bun and bronzed makeup for that effortless “golden hour goddess” energy.
🌴 7. Island Holiday Escape
When you're jet-setting to tropical islands or exploring hidden beaches, packing light is key. A bikini two piece becomes the foundation of your entire holiday wardrobe:
• Wear the top with high-waisted shorts or a wrap skirt
• Match the bottoms with oversized tees for lounging
• Mix and match across colours for variety without bulk
Dekota Swim’s mix-and-match collections are made exactly for this reason. A few versatile sets give you unlimited outfit potential without overpacking.

🌟 How to Choose the Right Bikini Two Piece
Here are our golden rules when building your bikini wardrobe:
Invest in neutrals: Black, white, sand, and blush tones are timeless and easy to pair.
Add a pop colour: Something like red, orange, or emerald to mix in when you want to stand out.
Pick a flattering cut: Whether you love triangle tops, bandeaus, or underwire—comfort + confidence is the winning combo.
Focus on fabric: Soft-touch materials and natural fibres make a world of difference.
Accessorise smart: Your bikini should feel like fashion—jewellery, hats, and bags complete the look.
