The Rena is pictured below (size Medium) Yesterday, a wonderful, and early, package arrived, it was my Rena One Piece, a late night purchase I made on Saturday and which to my surprised arrived Tuesday morning after only getting a notification of the item shipping Monday afternoon. Lets break down the newest collection from triangl (which more one pieces from a new collection are on the way) As always, the online chat is fantastic! They ask for your bust, waist, hips and height (from shoulder through crotch back to the shoulder) measurements and you have to supply your measurments in cm. After that they will come back with a bit of sizing help and their recommendation. I talked in the chat probably close to 20 times before just hitting "checkout". My measurements: Bust: 91 cm Waist: 70 cm Hips: 98 cm Height: 162-163 cm (its the measurement of your torso) I am 5'9 in height. With those measurments I was told, a small for my waist, a medium for my bust and hips and a large for my height. So, I took a risk and spend $139 (including shipping) to purhase a suit that I did not know if it would fit me.. Well it does &&& I LOVE it! Bust= perfect size Waist= the small would have made it more form fitting which is the desired fit, and it is a little roomy in the open back area because of it Hips= surprisingly perfect since I order a Large bottom in the two pieces Length= ideal, surprisingly FYI: The suit is the Cheeky cut, but due to coverage the suit provides it adds a flattering look to the one piece. The Packaging: Black Box, Plastic Bar Coded Bag, Foam Triangl mat The foam Triangl mat is used to keep the suit from creasing and in the box the suit is wrapped around the foam. All I know is I cant wait to wear it. Due to my larger hips I don't always like the looks of two pieces, I can say I love how this looks on my body and is extremly flattering! xoxo Megan

That is the real question, but before we get into the discussion, I have a new set on the way.. hello Gigi Blue Moon (let's just say with all the cons, I STILL LOVE THEM)
We already know the bikini itself is gorgeous, but what is it like to wear and more importantly is it worth the money?? I am about to break it down for you. Putting it on..
What happens on your walk to the beach..
Impact of the water..
After..
Overall.. Your assumption would be that I hated my experiences wearing my Triangl suits, but truthfully I did not. I do think I was a little uncomfortable sitting in hot summer sun, but I did always reach for my Triangls over typical swimsuits. I do not recommend purchasing a Triangl if you do not think you can care for the suit. They are affordable, but a lot of money for the work involved. The tops I have found are more low maintenance if that is your thing. If you do not mind hand washing, packaging carefully, and sweating a little to look cute, go for it, you will fall in love. * I have found that the zipper bandeau styles do cause you to sweat a lot, this specific style is extremely thick and is tight fitting, but I think it has the most support in it. Enjoy your Triangl experience, xoxo Megan * Lets be real, people want to always rip you off and try to fool you. AND IT SUCKS. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED and if you're scared, order off the Triangl website. Authenticate your Triangl ...this post is really referring to sites such as EBay, Poshmark, Mercari etc. where people resell items. * First and foremost.. know what the styles Triangl actually offers. If its an older style that they have discontinued, and you see it reposted as someone selling that style it is probably a dupe. (A lot of the dupes are fantastic quality just not worth the authentic price tag) * After you know that the style you are looking at purchasing in fact is a style that is currently sold on their website, take a good long look at the picture. Is the picture their suit or was it taken off google? Does all of the coloring and stitching look symmetric? Use your best judgement. * Look for the plastic bar code bags. Authentic Triangl only comes in a plastic bag with barcodes on the bags, no size dot stickers! The barcode is ALWAYS on the top bag and is on the bottom bag for the cup style bikinis that come in one of their black boxes. For the triangle style bikinis the barcode is on the drawstring bag and no barcode on the bottoms. Dupes are starting to catch on and some are starting to make barcodes on their bags but they look a little different. * The stitching on the clasp has no sharp cut off. You can not see the inside material in an authentic bikini. Their is a fabric covering over it. On the Marley style, the covering is more of a stitching then a material overlay. * The inside coloring of the bikini normally is a bright neon color as in orange or pink. Only some of their older styles have a black inside. Styles again such as the Marley, Ruby, Billie etc have the same color inside as they do their outside. * The crochet detail as in the Farrah and Gigi is almost a yarn like material. It is not a netting. Also, you can see the suits coloring come through the crochet material. It is not overdone that you can not see any coloring. Please if you have any questions leave a comment or send me an email to [email protected]. xoxo Ruby Ruby Ruby.. So this bikini was one of the first cheeky styles out, and it only comes in cheeky there is no option for normal bum. The top: it is a very very dark blue almost black maybe even charcoal colored. The bottom: BRIGHT either purple, a mint green or pink depending on which style you purchase. There is a normal triangle style with purple cheeky bottoms, a cup style with mint bottoms and the one I purchased was the zip up front strapless with pink bottoms. Breakdown: this color pink was SO bright and beautiful and being pink is my favorite color having it matched with this charcoal colored top was stunning. Sizing: So this is tricky.. Top: I purchased a medium.. and it fit perfect. If you read my other posts you know that I am either a small or small + in their other styles. But this medium was tight.. I could run a marathon in it. At the same time it actually gave a little push up affect.. because it was tight. The zipper unzips completely and that actually gives you more room for the bigger girls, and if you keep it zipped it will fit those smaller girls. All in all LOVE this style top. Bottoms: My first ever cheeky bottoms. Lets start out by saying, i'm not a cheeky kind of girl. But I loved these colors so I went for it and I had to try it out. I also purchased a medium in it because I was unsure if those ran larger since its less fabric?? Well they didn't, I needed a large again. The mediums I could live with, but a large would overall look more flattering. So lesson learned, cheeky or normal, it's the same size. If you're debating purchasing this beautiful set, I'd tell you go for it, its simple but so cute.
I hate to break it to you, but its a trial and error guessing game. Missy- Young Hearts Beautiful isn't it? I failed... (Thanks to Mercari and Poshmark reselling is SO easy) I purchased: Small top, Large bottom My Sizing: Full B cup (34B) in non push up NOT VS bras and a 4 or 6 in American Eagle jeans, typically a size medium bottoms in general but have wide hips (38 inch). The outcome: Lets just say I looked at the top and laughed.. I then tried it on and laughed harder. It was tiny. Needless to say, I sold that. However, the bottoms fit PERFECT and they are a bright mint and I kept them because I fell in love, and the obsession began. Coming soon, a breakdown of every suit I've purchased and owned from Triangl and how it fit ME. (All new styles) SIZING HELP Here are my recommendations: Tops 1. Know your bra size in a non push up bra 2. Know the amount of side boob and coverage you actually want to display 3. ASK. and ask again. 4. Look at the actual bikinis that you know what size the photo is of because you can kind of tell the cups or triangle size visually 5. In each style you may be a different size (I go from S, S+, & M depending on style) 6. Cup styles run true to listed cup size on the website Bottoms (Normal or Cheeky Bum) 1. XS-00 S-0/2 M-2/4 L-4/6 XL-6/8 2. If you have no hips or no butt, you can probably stay true to size, the above sizing list is pretty true to size, to slightly sized up. 3. Each style fits different, but I do find that the newer solid bottom styles have a comfy stretch but still no stretching feel (if that doesn't make sense it will when it's on your body) What is Triangl Swimwear you ask? Well maybe lets start out by asking, what isn't Triangl Swimwear? Triangl is different then any other Bikini you will ever own, it's unique. It is made out of neoprene material, aka wet suit material.... in bikini form? wait WHAT Literally it is fabulous and it forms to your body like a glove. Goals girl, GOALS Oh by the way they are in bright colors and cute patterns, can it get any better? Website: http://triangl.com |
