Hey there, babes! It’s your girl Zara here, coming in hot with the ultimate summer bikini style guide you didn’t know you needed — but trust me, you do.
This season is all about making waves, turning heads, and serving looks — whether you're lounging by the water, hitting the beach with your besties, or dancing barefoot at a bonfire under the stars. I’ve rounded up my fave Dekota Swim looks to help you slay from sunrise swims to sunset sips. So grab your SPF and get ready, because we’re diving into vibe-central, one bikini at a time.
☀️ Your Summer Moodboard: Beach Babe Energy, Activated
Summer isn’t just a season — it’s an attitude. Think carefree, confident, and completely YOU. And nothing says main character energy like a bikini two piece that hugs in all the right places.
Here’s the tea: at Dekota Swim, we’re not chasing trends — we’re setting them. These styles are designed for longevity, not landfill, which means you’ll keep rocking them year after year. That’s what I call intentional fashion.
🌴Trend #1: Bold Colour Blocking
Featured Look: Brooklyn Bikini - Myrtille
She’s bold. She’s juicy. She’s giving luxe Euro vacay vibes.
The Brooklyn Bikini in Myrtille is basically a blue dream wrapped in minimalist perfection. With a structured top that lifts and supports, and bottoms that sculpt your waist like magic, this set is my ride-or-die for poolside posing.
Style Tip: Pair with gold hoops, a slicked-back bun, and oversized sunnies. She’s unbothered and untouchable.

🖤Trend #2: Classic & Chic
Featured Look: Penelope Bikini - Black
There’s just something about a black two piece bathing suit. It's timeless. It's iconic. It's giving Audrey Hepburn if she was born in Byron Bay.
The Penelope Bikini in Black is your go-to summer bikini for effortless elegance — with a flattering scoop top and cheeky bottoms that hit that perfect balance between coverage and sass.
Style Tip: Throw on a sheer sarong and minimalist slides for a rooftop pool party vibe.
🌺Trend #3: Playful Prints, Main Character Moments
Featured Look: Maya Bikini – Fruit Salad
Okay, let’s get vibrant. The Maya Bikini in Fruit Salad is for women who aren’t afraid to show off their fun side. Bursting with color and personality, it’s the ultimate summer bikini two-piece for beach days that turn into beach nights.
Style Tip: Add a bucket hat and tinted lip oil — instant Gen Z goddess energy.
💚Trend #4: Earthy Tones & Intentional Choices
Featured Look: Calliope Bikini - Green
You already know I’m here for that grounded goddess aesthetic. The Calliope Bikini in Green is subtle, sophisticated, and designed to last — no fast fashion here, hun.
Dekota Swim may not be made from recycled fabric yet, but it’s all about quality over throwaway trends. Every piece is created in smaller production runs, so your fave bikini isn’t just another mass-made suit — it’s made with intention.

🔥Trend #5: Red-Hot Everything
Featured Look: Stella Bikini - Red
Let me just say it: red bikinis are undefeated. The Stella Bikini in Red is for the girl who commands attention. With its sleek silhouette, vibrant tone, and mood-boosting energy, it’s the summer bikini that’s giving “lead actress at a Mediterranean beach club” — and you are her, unapologetically bold and totally unforgettable.
Style Tip: Add a body chain and a frozen cocktail. Don’t forget the attitude. 😉
👙Q&A Time — Because I Gotchu
Q: What is a bikini model bikini?
A: Think of it as the showstopper bikini. It’s the one that fits flawlessly, flatters every angle, and makes you feel like you're walking a runway instead of the shoreline. At Dekota Swim, every style has that “bikini model” energy — because we design with real bodies and real confidence in mind.
Q: What makes a sustainable bathing suit better?
A: It’s all about longevity. A so-called “sustainable bathing suit” isn’t just about recycled materials (though that’s fab when possible); it’s about how long it lasts, how well it holds up, and how it avoids ending up in landfill. Dekota Swim pieces are made to stand the test of time, with timeless designs and smaller batch production that reduces waste.
