Hey babes! It’s your girl Zara here, And if you’ve ever stared at your screen wondering “Why is online swimwear shopping harder than choosing a Hinge date?” — I got you.
Whether you're prepping for Euro summer, chasing sunshine year-round, or just in a “treat yourself” mood (as you should), finding the perfect bikini online doesn’t have to feel like decoding the Da Vinci code. 👙💻
I’ve rounded up my fave picks from Dekota Swim, plus all the juicy tips you need before you hit that checkout button. So grab your iced latte, sit back, and let’s talk about bikinis that’ll have you serving main character energy all season long.
✨ Why Dekota Swim Deserves a Spot in Your Cart
Before we get into fits and favs — let’s talk why Dekota Swim is my ride-or-die bikini brand in Australia.
At Dekota, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional.
No greenwashing here, honey. While we’re not using recycled fabrics (yet), what you do get is:
Longevity over landfill
Timeless styles that don’t expire with trends
Slow, conscious production that skips the mass-manufactured chaos
And yes — plastic-free packaging, because your bikini doesn’t need bubble wrap drama
It’s giving quality-first, not fast fashion vibes.
🔥 Zara’s Fave Picks (That You Can Actually Shop)
Okay, babes. Let’s get to the fun part.
Here are my current Dekota Swim obsessions, from bikini two pieces to classic curve-huggers — and yes, I wear them all with zero shame and max confidence.
1. Brooklyn Bikini – Fleurs
She’s flirty. She’s floral. She’s the one you wear when you know your ex is watching your story.
The Brooklyn Bikini in Fleurs is my go-to summer bikini when I want to feel soft and spicy at the same time. The print? Stunning. The fit? Snatches without suffocating.
Style Tip: Pair her with a breezy white button-up and gold hoops for a post-beach spritz moment.

2. Penelope Bikini – Red
If you’re not wearing a red bikini at least once this summer, what are you even doing?
The Penelope Bikini in red is main character energy, no notes. It’s cheeky without being too revealing, and the structured top gives that lil lift we all love.
Girl Talk Tip: This one’s a yes for both tanning and frolicking. No weird slips, no awkward digs.
3. Calliope Bikini – Black
Everyone — and I mean everyone — needs a black two piece bathing suit that just works.
Meet Calliope in Black — sleek, elegant, and a total throw-in-your-weekender staple. It’s the little black dress of swimwear, but make it hotter.

💁♀️ Fit Check: Perfectly Snatched & Flawlessly Comfy
Shopping for bikinis online = a gamble. But with Dekota Swim, I’ve never had a sizing horror story.
The Brooklyn runs true to size with a comfy, stretch band that hugs the waist (no dig-in drama).
Penelope gives a lil more coverage if you’re booty-conscious but still wants a flirty cut.
Calliope offers adjustable straps and double-lined bottoms = chef’s kiss.
If you're in-between sizes? Size up, babes. Comfort > squeezing into something “just to say it’s a small.” We’re too grown for that.
☀️ Fabric That Feels Like a Sunset Kiss
Now let’s talk material, because I do not do itchy swimsuits.
Dekota’s swimwear isn’t made from recycled fabrics (yet — manifesting it 💫), but what you do get is buttery-soft, high-stretch, fade-resistant material with a luxe feel you’ll obsess over.
Translation? It won’t fall apart after two swims or lose shape.
This is swimwear made to last, babe — timeless, reliable, and oh-so snatched.
💡 Real Talk: FAQs You’re Too Shy to Ask
Q: What is a bikini model bikini?
Great question, queen. A bikini model bikini is that jaw-dropping, confidence-boosting kind of set you see on IG that turns heads IRL. Think: sculpted fit, flattering cuts, and total ✨ main character ✨ vibes.
Dekota’s got a few. Try the Lyra Bikini in Pink or the Scarlett Bikini in Silver for that ultra-bold look.

Q: What makes a sustainable bathing suit better?
Truth bomb — not all “sustainable” claims are real. At Dekota Swim, we’re all about swimwear that actually lasts, not just sounds good in a caption.
Fewer replacements = less waste
Timeless shapes = not buying a new set every season
Plastic-free packaging = chef’s kiss for the planet

🧭 Tips for Buying Swimwear Online Like a Pro
1. Know your vibe.
Flirty? Sporty? Classic? Choose based on what makes you feel hot, not just what’s trending.
2. Check the size chart.
Dekota’s sizing is accurate (bless), but double-check your bust and waist if you’re between sizes.
3. Read the return policy.
Dekota gets it — if it doesn’t fit right, send it back easily. Zero guilt.
4. Buy now, wear forever.
You don’t need 12 bikinis. Just a few timeless, flattering ones. Quality > quantity, always.
