Why I Love My Black Two Piece Bikini (And You Will Too)




Why I Only Wear the Ones That Slap — Not Sag

Hey babe — real talk.
Why is it so hard to find a black two piece bathing suit that makes you feel sexy and supported?
Every summer, I go in hopeful. “This is the year,” I tell myself. And yet, somehow, I end up under fluorescent lights, pulling at itchy straps and tugging up bottoms that belong in the bin. Sound familiar?
Here’s the issue:
Most black bikinis are made for mannequins — not real girls with curves, confidence, and a calendar full of beach days. They are boring, flimsy, and fade after one wash.
But I am not here to settle.
So neither should you.
At Dekota Swim, we design black two piece bathing suits that actually deliver. Think buttery-soft fabrics, clean modern cuts, and luxe finishes — all made to flatter and last. These are the bikinis that make you feel like that girl the second you step onto the sand.
👇 Let’s dive in.

🌴 Why Every Babe Needs a Good Black Two Piece Bikini

A black bikini is a summer staple — versatile, timeless, and effortlessly chic. But not all are created equal. The difference with Dekota?
Intentional design.

  • Premium fabrics that hug without squeezing

  • Rich black tones that will not fade in the sun

  • Styles that stay put (even when you don’t)

Whether you are surfing in Bondi, lounging in Bali, or sipping cocktails poolside in Noosa, your black two piece should work as hard as you do. And trust me, Dekota Swim’s black bikinis never clock off.

✨ The Penelope Bikini – Black

This is my go-to black two piece bathing suit. I take her everywhere — Byron, Bali, even Hanauma Bay in Hawaii. She’s flattering, comfy, and has that classic triangle cut with just the right amount of cheek.

Why I love her:

✔ Adjustable for the perfect fit
✔ Double-lined (so nothing peeks through)
✔ Dries fast — beach to bar ready
✔ Matches every single thing in your suitcase

Pair it with an oversized shirt and gold hoops? You’re a whole vibe.

🔥 More Black Two Piece Bikinis That Slay

Not vibing with triangles? Don’t stress — there’s a black two piece bathing suit for every kind of beach babe.

Ruched, flirty, and curve-enhancing. This one’s made for the girls who want glam without the fuss.

Sporty and structured. Whether you're playing beach volleyball or diving off a boat, this one’s got your back — and your boobs.

💁‍♀️ Fit That Stays Put

Dekota doesn’t mess around with fit. Each black bikini set is wear-tested on real women (no mannequins here), meaning:
✔ Tops support without squish
✔ Bottoms don’t ride or sag
✔ Everything feels good and looks good
✔ Confidence included, no extra cost

🌞 Tanning? We Thought of That Too

You know those bikinis with weird straps and cutouts that leave you looking like a zebra? Not here.
Dekota’s black two piece bathing suits are designed with tanning in mind — clean lines, flattering coverage, and nothing that gets in the way of your glow.

Picture this: me, on Coogee Beach, sun hat on, SPF 30 applied, iced coconut in hand. My Penelope bikini stays in place while I soak up rays, read my book, and work on those perfect tan lines.

🧳 Travel Light, Pack Right

I never over pack swimwear anymore. With Dekota, 2–3 bikinis do it all.

Here’s my travel checklist:
✔ One staple black bikini
✔ One fun, bold print
✔ One that doubles as a crop
✔ A couple mix-and-match bottoms
✔ Foldable mesh pouch to store damp suits

Dekota bikinis are built for sun, sand, and suitcase life — they dry quick, fold down flat, and always look fresh.

🌱 Sustainability: The Slow Fashion Swimwear Vibe

Let’s be honest: the world doesn’t need more fast fashion bikinis. That’s why Dekota Swim is focused on:
🌿 Small-batch production
🌿 Plastic-free packaging
🌿 Long-lasting styles that survive more than one summer

We are not claiming to be 100% sustainable — yet. But we’re building better, slower, more thoughtful. And that’s worth wearing.

💬 Bikini FAQ

Q: What is a “bikini model bikini”?

It’s a suit that flatters you. Think sleek lines, curve-loving cuts, and energy that says: “I didn’t come to play.” Our black bikinis bring that.

Q: Why should I choose a sustainable bathing suit?

Because you're worth it. Good bikinis should feel great, last seasons, and reduce waste. Dekota’s focus on slow fashion means you get more wear, less guilt.

💌 Final Thoughts: Babe, She’s Not Basic — She’s Built to Last

A black two piece bathing suit should be more than just a backup bikini.
It should be the one — the suit that lifts your confidence, hugs your body, and travels with you through every adventure.
Don’t settle for less.
Find the one that makes you feel unstoppable.
