Hey there, babes! It’s your girl Zara here, reporting live from my sun-drenched balcony with a coconut in hand and the cutest bikini on—because yes, we’re talking all things swimwear shopping today. Whether you're diving into summer vacay prep or just want to slay by the pool (as you should!), you need this guide.
Shopping for swimwear online can feel like decoding a bikini puzzle—but don’t worry, I got you. I’m breaking down my top tips for finding that perfect fit, sharing my fave pieces from Dekota Swim, and answering the questions you babes keep sliding into my DMs with. Let’s get into it!
Why Shopping Swimwear Online is a Whole Vibe (If You Know How)
No crowds, no fitting room meltdowns, and all the aesthetic browsing while you sip a matcha? Yes, please. But here’s the thing: fit is everything. So let me help you avoid a flop moment and get you into your dream bikini two piece.
1. Know Your Body, Babe
Start with measuring tape, a full-length mirror, and a no-BS mindset. Knowing your bust, waist, and hip measurements means you can actually use those size charts.
Zara Tip: If you’re between sizes, size up. A little tailoring or tie adjustment is better than squeezing into something that won't even let you breathe.
2. Read the Reviews Like Your Life Depends on It
Babes always spill the tea in the reviews. See what other girls your size and shape are saying—especially about the fit, coverage, and stretch.
3. Stretch Matters More Than You Think
Swimwear with a good amount of stretch molds to you. It’s like a second skin. All of our pieces at Dekota Swim are made with durability and curve-hugging comfort in mind.
4. Look for Adjustable Straps & Tie Backs
Not all swimwear is created equal. Adjustability is your BFF for the perfect fit. That’s why I love styles like the Calliope Bikini in Black — she's sleek, minimal, and lets you customize the vibe.

Bikini Trends That Are So You (and Me)
Let’s talk about the styles I’m currently obsessed with—because duh, every babe deserves a rotation.
The Brooklyn Bikini - Fleurs
She’s floral, she’s flirty, and she’s totally giving main character energy. This is your go-to for vacays, beach pics, and picnics that turn into pool parties.
The Maya Bikini - Fruit Salad
Bright, bold, and fun. If your vibe is playful but put-together, this is the summer bikini to make waves in.
The Penelope Bikini - Black
Talk about a black two piece bathing suit that’s anything but basic. Penelope in black gives that timeless, sleek silhouette with a bit of sass.

Fit Check: Snatched AND Comfy? Yes Please.
Here’s the tea, babe: Dekota Swim pieces don’t just fit—they flatter. Whether you're poolside posing or diving headfirst into the deep end, these bikinis are built to move with you and keep everything right where it should be. No tugging, no awkward gaps, and definitely no saggy bottoms (ew, no thanks).
The secret? It’s all in the fabric and thoughtful design. These suits hug your curves like a loyal BFF, with stretchy, shape-retaining materials that bounce back every time. They’re snatched in all the right places, and honestly, it’s giving main character energy.
Plus, most of our styles feature adjustable straps, ties, and ruched details—so you can customise the fit to suit you. Wanna go full bombshell or keep it lowkey cute? The choice is yours.
