Hey there, babes! It’s your girl Zara here, and if there’s one thing I know—besides how to serve face in every selfie—it’s how to make a bikini two piece pop on camera.
Whether you’re striking a pose by the shore, capturing that cheeky poolside snap, or flexing in a mirror pre-beach day, the right bikini colour can take your content from cute to certified fire emoji. And let’s be real—if your swimwear isn’t popping on cam, did the vacay even happen?
Today, I’m spilling the tea on the Top 5 Bikini Colours That Pop on Camera – all tested, worn, and approved by yours truly. And of course, they’re all bikini two piece styles from Dekota Swim – because we don’t settle for basic.
1. Peach
Let’s start with a softie that brings serious energy. The Brooklyn Bikini in Peach is that girl when it comes to golden hour. Think blush tones that reflect the sunset, compliment every skin tone, and add a warm filter effect to your pics without a filter.
Pair it with a woven beach hat and a juicy gloss and bam! Instant beach goddess.
2. Purple
Purple is giving mystery, magic, and a little main character drama—in the best way. The Lyra Bikini in Purple has this luxe lavender vibe that totally stands out in both bright light and shadowed shots. It’s like wearing a real-life photo enhancer.
Tip: Shoot with a flash at dusk or indoors for that rich, moody aesthetic. Chef’s kiss.
3. Pink
You already KNOW pink was gonna make the cut. The Penelope Bikini in Pink is your playful, flirty, "Hi I'm a beach Barbie" moment. It catches the light just right, adds instant vibrancy to your grid, and makes your tan pop like no other.
I wore this to a villa pool party and couldn’t even get through my drink without three compliments. Don’t mess.
4. Bleue (aka Baby Blue Perfection)
The Brooklyn Bikini in Bleue is calm, cool, collected—and hella photogenic. Blue tones reflect the ocean, the sky, the water in your Aperol spritz... okay maybe not that last one. But seriously, this shade makes every beach backdrop better. The crisp contrast makes your skin glow and adds that dreamy, editorial feel.
5. Black
You didn’t think I’d skip a classic, right? The Calliope Bikini in Black is pure power. Whether you’re going full glam or laid-back luxe, this black two piece bathing suit creates sharp lines and a strong silhouette that STUNS on camera. It’s timeless, elegant, and secretly sexy. A must-have.
Pro tip: Wet hair, gold hoops, and a side-eye smirk? Deadly combo.
💼 What is a model-style swimsuit?
A model-style swimsuit is all about pieces that flatter from every angle and absolutely slay in photos. It's not just about showing skin — it's about showcasing your shape, your style, and your confidence. These swimsuits are designed with camera-ready details in mind: sculpted fits, snatched waistlines, cheeky cuts, and colours that pop against any backdrop — from sandy shores to rooftop pools.
Think elevated bikini two piece sets that hug in all the right places, hold up under flash, and give off that “just stepped off a shoot” energy. Whether you're posing under palm trees or dancing by the water, this kind of suit makes sure you’re always the moment.
And babe, that’s exactly the kind of heat Dekota Swim brings.
🧼 What makes a sustainable bathing suit better?
Let’s clear it up, babes — when we talk about “sustainable,” we’re talking about more than just slapping a buzzword on a tag. A truly conscious bikini two piece or one-piece swimsuit isn’t just about fabric (though that helps!). It’s about making thoughtful, long-term choices that support both you and the planet.
At Dekota Swim, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional.
Our pieces aren't made with recycled materials yet (we're working on it!), but what we do prioritize is longevity, small-batch production, and plastic-free packaging. That means every sustainable bathing suit is designed to be worn season after season — not just for one summer snap and then forgotten.
We believe in timeless cuts over fast trends, quality materials over cheap throwaways, and limited runs that avoid waste and overstock. When you invest in a Dekota piece, you’re choosing something that won’t stretch out, fade out, or fall apart after a few wears. And that’s a win for your wardrobe and the environment.
Because let’s be real: fashion should last, not land in a bin.
Slow fashion, baby — and she’s worth the wait.
🛍️ Shopping Tips
Size Smart: Check size guides and customer reviews if unsure. Our cuts are true to size but curve-hugging.
Style for You: Are you a classic black girlie or a colour-pop queen? Don’t be afraid to mix it up.
One Piece or Two Piece? Totally your vibe. But two-piece sets give you more styling flexibility (aka more pics, more likes).
