Hey babes! 🌞 Last weekend I was in Byron Bay, rocking my Scarlett Bikini – Purple, salty hair perfectly tousled by the surf, iced oat latte in hand, and I swear every girl at the surf club stopped me mid-walk asking, “Where did you get that?” Like… do I hand out business cards or just strike a TikTok-worthy pose? Honestly, this is what happens when you find the best summer bikini for your body type — confidence served on a silver platter.

Let’s be real: shopping for swimwear in-store can be a nightmare. Squeezing into fluorescent-lit fitting rooms, wrestling with straps, and praying that the thong doesn’t roll… we’ve all been there. Enter Dekota Swim, your cheat code for summer bikini vibes that make you feel unstoppable.

Whether you’re curvy, petite, athletic, or rocking a classic hourglass, there’s a bikini model bikini designed to make you slay. And babes, I’m breaking it down, style tip by style tip, so you can stop guessing and start glowing up.


1. Hourglass Hunnies: Embrace Your Curves

Hourglass figures deserve a bikini that hugs in all the right places without feeling like a wrestling match. The Scarlett Bikini – Purple is giving lift, shape, and zero fuss. The structured triangle top highlights your bust, while the mid-rise bottoms accentuate your waist and hips perfectly.

Styling tip: Pair with a lightweight kaftan for that effortlessly chic beach-to-café transition. Don’t forget gold hoops and a messy bun for instant main character energy. If you’ve seen @ella.in.bali in her Dekota bikini two piece, you know why this set is iconic.


2. Athletic Beauties: Add Some Feminine Vibes

Athletic babes, this one’s for you. Sometimes you want to soften a straighter silhouette or add curves in playful ways. The Scarlett Bikini – Purple nails it with adjustable straps and a flattering cut that gives feminine shape without extra fuss — truly the best summer bikini for adding curves and confidence.

Styling tip: Layer with a sheer mesh cover-up and strappy sandals — it’s pure TikTok-worthy. Add delicate gold necklaces for a subtle luxe touch.


3. Petite Perfection: Play With Proportions

Petite babes, don’t sleep on this one. The Scarlett Bikini – Purple has high-cut legs to elongate pins, and the adjustable top ensures the perfect fit without overwhelming a smaller frame.

Styling tip: Add a straw hat and oversized sunnies. Bonus points for snapping a beach reel — your feed will never recover. Pair it with Dekota’s slow-fashion approach for pieces made to last, not landfill.

If you’re into buying swimwear online, petite-friendly cuts like this are totally stress-free. Explore our petite-friendly bikini two piece options.


4. Curvy Queens: Support Meets Style

Curvy babes, support is non-negotiable — but that doesn’t mean boring. The Scarlett Bikini – Purple has a structured top with adjustable straps and mid-rise bottoms that hug your curves in the right places. You’ll feel secure, stylish, and ready for anything.

Styling tip: Pair with a linen wrap skirt for brunch post-beach. Minimal accessories like a dainty anklet keep the focus on your best summer bikini glow.

Dekota’s swimwear is all about quality-first fabrics, deliberate cuts, and small-batch production — so you can slay season after season without worrying about wear and tear.


5. Plus-Size Power: Flaunt Your Assets

Plussies, it’s your time to shine. The Scarlett Bikini – Purple offers high-impact confidence with full-coverage yet cheeky bottoms and a supportive top. No slipping, no awkward adjustments — just pure, radiant slay energy.

Styling tip: Go bold with oversized earrings and a statement tote. Layer with a kimono or sheer wrap to accentuate curves while staying cool in the sun.

Dekota Swim’s pieces are designed for longevity, not landfill, so your summer bikini investment keeps giving season after season.


6. The “I Don’t Do Trends” Club: Timeless Styles

Some babes just want a classic fit that never goes out of style. While the Scarlett Bikini – Purple is bold, its clean lines and flattering cut make it timeless — truly one of the best summer bikinis you’ll ever own. Minimalist, chic, and flattering on literally everyone — a true wardrobe hero.

Styling tip: Keep accessories simple — black slides, oversized sunnies, and neutral beach bag. Let your bikini do the talking.
