Whether you're brunching poolside, diving into salty waves, or snapping beach pics just to make your ex regret everything—your swimwear better be working overtime.

This blog? Oh honey, it’s not just another cute scroll. I’m breaking down your go-to summer bikini for every vibe, highlighting my fave picks from Dekota Swim and giving you tips, recs, and allll the sass along the way. 🌞👙

So, grab an iced coffee (or a spicy marg), and let’s dive in. Because this summer bikini moment? She’s giving main character energy.


✨ The Ultimate Summer Bikini Vibe Check

When I say a bikini can change your whole mood, I mean it. Here’s how to match your mood to your moodboard:

1. The “Beach Brunch Babe” Look

Let’s talk soft girl glam. Think pastel smoothies, oversized sunnies, and a bikini that hugs in all the right places.

My pick: Brooklyn Bikini – Rose.
She’s sweet. She’s soft. She’s giving romantic with a lil’ edge.

Pair it with a mesh sarong and glossy lip balm for that “I just woke up looking like this” glow.

2. The “Pool Party Princess” Moment

This look? Loud, confident, and 100% photo-ready.

My pick: Scarlett Bikini – Silver.
Because if you’re not sparkling under the sun, what are you even doing?

Stack on gold jewelry, grab a platform sandal, and run the pool deck like it’s a runway.

3. The “Sunset Lover” Mood

You know that golden hour where everything looks ✨romantic✨? You need a bikini that matches the vibe.

My pick: Maya Bikini – Poppy.
With its bold floral print, it’s giving carefree dream girl. Add a straw hat and you’ve got the boho babe fantasy on lock.


🔥 Fit Check: Perfectly Snatched & Flawlessly Comfy

Let’s be real—looking cute is non-negotiable, but if it’s not comfy, I’m out.

Every bikini at Dekota Swim is designed to feel as good as it looks. Like…

  • Supportive fits that hug your curves without digging in.

  • Adjustable straps (because we love options).

  • No awkward padding or stiff wires, ever.

From XS to XL, the fit is thoughtfully done to make every body feel like THE body.

So yes, you can cannonball, cartwheel, or catwalk—comfortably.


💫 Fabric That Feels Like a Sunset Kiss

Let’s talk textures, babes.

Dekota Swim’s bikinis are made with luxurious, durable fabric that moves with you—and lasts beyond the season. This isn’t fast fashion that fades after one summer. Nope.

We’re talking:

  • High stretch, soft-touch fabric that flatters.

  • Quick-dry materials, perfect for all-day wear.

  • Rich color retention, so your black two piece bathing suit doesn’t turn fifty shades of grey.

And while we’re not claiming full “sustainable swimwear” just yet, here’s the real tea:

At Dekota Swim, we’re not perfect — but we’re intentional.
While our current swimwear isn’t made from recycled fabrics, we prioritise quality, durability, and timeless designs over throwaway trends. That means fewer replacements, longer life, and less waste.
We're working toward more sustainable choices with each season — starting with our packaging and conscious production runs.

Slow fashion? That’s hot. 🔥


Okay, this one is a moment. A black two piece bathing suit that works for literally every summer situation.

  • Penelope Bikini – Black is the definition of chic.

  • High-leg cut? Check.

  • Sculpted cups? Obsessed.

  • That subtle sexy? Deadly.

Perfect for your airport-to-resort transformation. Throw on linen pants and a sleek bun, and boom—you’re already serving before you hit the pool.

💡 Bikini FAQ — With the Zara Sass You Deserve

Q: What is a bikini model bikini?

Great question, babe. A bikini model bikini is the type you see on IG baddies and fashion week babes. It’s usually minimal, cheeky, and made to turn heads—aka exactly what Dekota Swim does best. ✨

Q: What makes a sustainable bathing suit better?

A sustainable bathing suit (when it’s truly certified) usually means it’s made with eco-minded fabrics, ethical practices, and low-impact production. But here’s the plot twist—durability is just as important. That’s why I stan Dekota Swim. The focus is on quality, longevity, and timeless design. Whether you’re packing for a vacay or just vibing by the pool, a good summer bikini should slay all season long. Less landfill. More slay.
