SI Swimsuit model Sixtine is often in a bikini, whether she’s on a tropical getaway, tanning in Central Park or reminding her TikTok fans that all bodies are bikini bodies. The body neutrality content creator knows the struggle of finding the perfect mid-size bikini. The two-time SI Swimsuit model also knows what a rewarding feeling it is when a two-piece fits you perfectly, hugs you in the right places and shows off what you want to show off.

Sixtine, who made her debut in Dominica last year and traveled to Belize to pose for the 2024 issue, tells us that over the years, she has discovered her favorite swimwear brands and styles that work for her. On the luxurious, more pricey end, she highlights Monday Swimwear. The brand’s high-quality suits are flattering and, in her opinion, splurge-worthy.

On the more affordable end, the model is a huge fan of PacSun’s bikinis. She has tested pieces from the brand several times as part of her viral Swimsuit Series and felt confident in them from the jump.

“On the cheaper end, I’ve always loved PacSun. Their swimsuits ... I don’t know what they put in them,” Sixtine tells SI Swimsuit. “[They are] so stretchy ... they know what they are doing.”
