Hey babes! 🌞 Picture this: I just landed in Byron Bay for a weekend escape, oversized sunnies on, playlist blasting, and yes — fully owning my Maya Bikini - Blackberry vibes. I’m talking TikTok-worthy strut from the poolside cabana straight to the sunset cocktail bar. But here’s the tea: pulling off resort swimwear style isn’t just about picking a cute bikini (though that helps, obviously). It’s about how you layer, accessorise, and make a statement from sun-up to sundown.
If you’ve ever stared at your suitcase thinking, “Do I really need five bikinis and three cover-ups for one weekend?” — trust me, I’ve been there. And that panic? That’s why we’re diving deep into everything you need for that flawless resort swimwear style that makes you feel confident, glowing, and basically untouchable.
From pool lounges to sunset cocktails, here’s your ultimate guide to slaying the resort scene with swimwear that works as hard as you do.
Why Resort Swimwear Style Is More Than Just a Bikini
Okay, let’s get real. The struggle with swimwear is real. You’re either rocking a bikini that’s too basic, or you’ve gone full overboard with sequins that scratch your back when you try to lounge. 🙄
In-store shopping for swimwear is the worst. You spend hours trying on bikinis under fluorescent lighting that makes you question all life choices. By the time you settle, you’re exhausted, frustrated, and likely overpaying for something that will be out of style in a season.
Buying swimwear online with a brand like Dekota Swim means you get high-quality, stylish bikinis designed for longevity, delivered straight to your door — no awkward fitting rooms, no fluorescent lighting, just pure poolside slay.
Honestly, there’s nothing more satisfying than unboxing a bikini model bikini and feeling main character energy immediately. Quick tip: a bikini model bikini is that perfect cut that hugs your curves, gives you Insta-ready lines, and makes you feel like you stepped out of a resort editorial. Think our Maya Bikini - Blackberry — clean, chic, and effortlessly playful.
Key Resort Swimwear Trends You Need
So, what’s hot for resort swimwear style this season? I’ve been stalking reels from @ella.in.bali, @sydneybeachbabe, and yes, some cheeky TikTok influencers, and these are the looks that keep popping up.
1. Bold, Block Colours
If you’ve ever doubted a statement bikini, let me fix that. Bold greens, blues, and oranges aren’t just for the pool — they’re for making your cocktail hour entrance unforgettable. The Maya Bikini - Blackberry is a perfect example: vibrant, flattering, and giving sunset vibes all day long. Pair it with neutral linen trousers or a white sarong for maximum versatility.
Pro tip: don’t shy away from mixing solid colours with prints if you’re feeling cheeky. A solid green bottom with a printed top instantly elevates your look — slay the resort vibes without even trying.
2. Timeless Neutrals
Yes babes, bold is fun, but there’s something undeniably chic about a black two piece bathing suit. It’s literally the Chanel of swimwear: sleek, versatile, and can take you from sunbathing to sipping martinis in the hotel rooftop bar. Our Penelope Bikini – Black is literally proof.
Throw on oversized sunnies, chunky gold hoops, and you’ve basically created a resort-ready outfit without packing half your wardrobe. And yes, this works for those “just-rolled-out-of-bed-but-glowing-up” vibes we all aspire to.
3. Cut-Outs & High-Waist Magic
High-waist bikini bottoms are your best friend, babes. Not only do they elongate your legs, but they also pair effortlessly with cut-out tops or bandeaus for that modern, editorial aesthetic. A summer bikini like the Scarlett Bikini – Light Blue brings sophistication and playfulness in one, keeping your resort swimwear style elevated from the morning pool to evening cocktails.
4. Layer Like a Pro
Here’s where we get really strategic: your bikini is just the base. Resort style is about layering:
Sarongs & Kaftans: Perfect for poolside brunch or spontaneous seaside walks.
Oversized Shirts: Tie one at the waist, knot a sleeve — instant chic.
Statement Accessories: Big hats, layered necklaces, and strappy sandals.
A pro move? Pack a neutral cover-up over a bold solid bikini like Maya Bikini - Blackberry. This gives you that effortless “I woke up like this” energy without looking like you raided a toddler’s dress-up box.
Why Investing in a Quality Bikini Pays Off
Babe, listen: not all bikinis are created equal. A sustainable bathing suit isn’t just about being eco — it’s about pieces designed for longevity, not landfill.
At Dekota Swim, here’s the honesty:
“We’re not perfect — but we’re intentional. Our swimwear isn’t made from recycled fabrics (yet), but every piece is built to last. Fewer replacements, longer life, less waste. And yes, our packaging is plastic-free.”
So when you snag a bikini two piece like the Maya Bikini - Blackberry, you’re not just choosing style — you’re choosing a quality-first bikini that’ll keep you glowing up season after season.
Influencer-Inspired Resort Vibes
If you’ve seen @sophiesummer’s reel in our teal bikini two piece, you know why this set is the moment. Her poolside strut, matching cocktail hat, and perfectly tossed hair? Literal goals.
Here’s the fun part: you can recreate the same vibes with your own twist. Play with:
Statement sunglasses (oversized = bonus points)
Chunky sandals for the perfect clack on the wooden deck
Layered gold jewellery over a bold solid summer bikini
And yes, babes, don’t forget the confidence. It’s the secret ingredient to slaying any resort scene.
Resort Swimwear Style Hacks
Mix & Match: Don’t be afraid to pair a solid top with a printed bottom. Your suitcase will thank you.
Pack One Statement Cover-Up: One chic kaftan or linen dress can turn three bikinis into six outfits.
Shoes Matter: Even at a pool, stylish slides or espadrilles elevate the look.
Sun Protection Can Be Cute: Think big-brim hats, sheer wraps, or cropped long sleeves. Functional and TikTok-worthy.
