Summer Bikinis in Bold Prints & Dreamy Colours

Hey babes! It’s your girl Zara here — reporting live from poolside bliss 💦☀️ in my fave summer bikinis, obviously.

If you know me (and I know you do 😉), you already know I live for bikinis. And not just any bikinis — we’re talking bold prints, dreamy colours, and curve-hugging fits that make you feel like the ✨main character✨ of summer.

Today, I'm breaking down the summer bikinis that are givingggg everything, straight from the racks of Dekota Swim, your go-to bikini brand in Australia. Whether you're beach-hopping with your crew or posting up in the sun with a spicy mocktail, I’ve got styles that will make your warm-weather wardrobe pop.

Ready to turn heads and collect compliments? Let’s dive in, babe 💁‍♀️

She’s Bold, She’s Bright: Meet the Print Queens

If there's one rule for summer? Go big or stay in the cabana. Bold prints are the MVP of this season — they’re loud, proud, and totally unapologetic. And trust me, when I say the Maya Bikini is the blueprint, I mean it.

Top Picks:

• Maya Bikini – Fruit Salad: She’s playful. She’s juicy. She might steal your boyfriend. 🍓

• Maya Bikini – Flower Field: Romantic but spicy. A summer fling in bikini form.

These summer bikinis are all about colour without the chaos. Think playful patterns in flattering cuts designed to make you the star — not the swimwear.

✨ Style tip: Pair the Maya Bikini with retro sunnies and a sarong tied low on the hips. Throw in a glass of something bubbly and voilà — instant Insta gold.

Minimalist Babes, We See You

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear black two piece bathing suits and sip iced matcha while ignoring their ex’s DMs.

The Calliope Bikini in Black is for the girl who knows less is more — but still wants to make jaws drop. With its sleek lines and stay-put fit, it’s giving: “I booked the villa, now come take my pics.”

Pair with body oil and a messy bun for that “just rolled off the yacht” aesthetic.

Other must-haves for minimalist icons:

• Penelope Bikini – Nude: A true neutral for my tonal queens

• Stella Bikini – Black: She’s timeless, like your favorite Audrey Hepburn quote

These summer bikinis may be simple, but they slay just as hard.

Colour Crush: Dreamy Pastels & Power Hues

When it comes to summer, colour is non-negotiable. Think watermelon pinks, icy lilacs, sun-kissed blues. These summer bikinis were made for golden hour selfies and beachside daydreaming.

Obsessed is an understatement with:

• Brooklyn Bikini – Peach: Sweet and cheeky, like me.

• Scarlett Bikini – Light Green: A pastel goddess moment

• Lyra Bikini – Purple: Dreamy AF — trust.

Dekota Swim nails the colour game without veering into “tween” territory. Everything is elevated, elegant, and extra flattering.

What’s a Bikini Model Bikini, Anyway?

Q: What is a bikini model bikini?
A: It’s the kind of bikini that looks like it was made for your body. High-cut, curve-friendly, and confidence-fueled. It’s what I call a Dekota Swim moment. If it makes you feel like you belong on the cover of a beach magazine? Babe, that’s a bikini model bikini.

Zara’s Featured Favourite: The Brooklyn Bikini in Citron 🍋

She’s THE moment, babes. The Brooklyn Bikini in Citron is the flirtiest, most citrusy way to scream hello summer. She hugs in all the right places, stays put while you dance, and looks bomb under literally any lighting.

I wore this on a weekend yacht party and someone actually stopped me mid-sip to ask where it’s from. The answer? Dekota Swim, duh.

It's one of those summer bikinis that makes you feel effortlessly iconic — no filter, no fuss, just pure glow-up energy.

Let’s Talk Longevity, Babes

So here’s the real tea: While Dekota Swim isn’t using recycled fabrics yet, what they do focus on is quality-first swimwear. That means:

• Timeless cuts you won’t want to toss after one summer

• Durable materials that won’t stretch out or fade

• Small-batch production to avoid overstock and waste

• Plastic-free packaging (yaaas to conscious shipping!)

💬 At Dekota Swim, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional.
Each piece is made with care, designed to last, and meant to be loved season after season.
