Yes queen, I’m talking about the Penelope Bikini in Black — the black two piece bathing suit from Dekota Swim that’s sending shockwaves across shores and scrolls.
If you haven’t seen her yet... where’ve you been hiding? This bikini two piece isn’t just a swimwear moment — she’s a movement. In today’s post, we’re diving into the hype, styling inspo, fit deets, and why this babe is seriously unmatched for summer 2025. Ready to get snatched in style? Let’s gooo.
Why Every Girl Needs a Black Bikini Two Piece in 2025
Because some things just never go out of style.
A classic black bikini two piece is like the little black dress of the swimwear world — it works anywhere, anytime, and on every body. It’s giving main character energy, minimal effort, max effect. Whether you're beachside, pool-hopping, or just catching rays in your backyard, black swimwear always delivers.
But not all black bikinis are created equal. The Penelope Bikini in Black? She’s in a league of her own.
The Penelope Bikini in Black: Meet the Moment
So what’s the hype about? Let me break it down for you:
Top: Adjustable bandeau-style top with a flattering scoop neckline
Bottom: High-cut leg with a cheeky back that lifts everything
Fabric: Buttery soft, curve-hugging, double-lined perfection
Finish: Matte black that looks luxe, not basic
It’s bold. It’s minimalist. It flatters your curves like no tomorrow. Honestly, don’t mess — this is the bikini two piece you’ll reach for every. single. time.
✨ Fit Check: Perfectly Snatched & Flawlessly Comfy ✨
You know how some bikinis look cute but they ride up, cut in, or slide around when you move? Not this one.
The Penelope Bikini is designed to stay put and slay. The adjustable straps on the top mean you can go from relaxed lounge mode to active babe real quick. And the bottoms? Snug in the best way. They hug your hips without pinching and make your peach look, well… peachier 🍑
Size-wise: I’m a true size 8 AU and wear a Small. If you’re in between, size up for comfort or down for a tighter hold — both work, she’s that versatile.
💋 Fabric That Feels Like a Sunset Kiss 💋
Let’s talk texture, babes. This set is double-lined, meaning zero see-through drama, even post-swim. The fabric is breathable, quick-dry, and made to last season after season.
And while Dekota Swim doesn’t use recycled fabrics yet, here’s what makes this bikini a conscious choice:
“At Dekota Swim, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional.”
Instead of throwaway trends, their designs are crafted for longevity and style you’ll wear year after year. Think slow fashion swimwear made with intention — not landfill.
You’ll get miles out of this bikini, which means fewer replacements and less waste. That’s hot.
How to Style Your Black Bikini Two Piece Like a Pro
This set is the ultimate chameleon — dress her up, down, or somewhere in between. Some of my go-to pairings:
For the Beach Club Babe: Sheer sarong, chunky gold hoops, oversized sunnies
For the Minimal Queen: Barefoot, salty hair, a slick of gloss
For Insta Gold: Black mesh pants, cowboy hat, a flash of shimmer on your collarbones
Trust me, she eats every time. And the black color makes mixing and matching with other pieces too easy.

❓ Your Bikini Questions Answered
Q: What is a bikini model bikini?
A bikini model bikini is the type of bikini you see all over Insta — flawless fit, photogenic cuts, and usually worn by models (duh). But here’s the tea: you don’t have to be a model to rock one. The Penelope in Black is 100% bikini model bikini vibes — minus the pressure, plus all the confidence.
Q: What makes a sustainable bathing suit better?
It’s not just about recycled fabrics. A sustainable bathing suit (or what I call swimwear made to last) focuses on quality, durability, and smart design choices that reduce waste over time. Think smaller batch production, timeless cuts, and plastic-free packaging — all of which Dekota Swim is slaying right now.
