Continuing my obsessive love for Triangl, my next purchase was the Chloe top in Miami Mint in XS.
Clearly the Chloe top is different from your average triangle bikini tops. Oh boy, I nearly spelled “triangle” as “triangl.” Guys, Triangl is getting to me.
The main difference is that the triangles are shifted a bit more to the side, so there is a bit more cleavage while the triangle extends to nearly under your armpit, distance-wise. Since there is no padding, the ties cause the cup to stretch when worn, pushing down on your boobs and creating more cleavage in the front. From the side, this top also causes your boobs to look a bit more flat if you’re a member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Again, this isn’t really an issue for me as I am okay with my Itty Bittiness, but if you’re around the same size as I am (32A/B) want to look fuller all around, this may not be the top for you.
If you have a fuller chest, this shouldn’t be an issue. In fact, if your chest is full enough, this top may cause cleavage, side-boob, and under-boob, so if you love showing off your boobs, this’ll be awesome for you. If not, you may want to look into other Triangl bikinis.
Another issue is that, if it’s cold, you may see some headlights beaming through. Rather unfortunate as I do like this design, an update on the classic triangle top, but it’s not enough of an issue to make me not want to wear it.
Quick question: I’ve noticed that padding-less bikinis have been rather popular lately, as Coulbourne and Frankie’s and Midori bikinis have been trending. But how do people.. deal with the possibility of headlights? Or do they just stay near people they feel really, and I mean really, comfortable with? I’m stumped.
Miami Mint is a lovely shade of aqua blue, with a tinge of mint. No wonder it’s so easy to confuse Miami Mint with Santa Rosa Splash. As always, the neoprene is nice and thick. The tie straps are somewhat long, or at least longer than the straps of my other bikini tops. Also, the metal cubes are quite heavy. I feel that if you were to move around a lot, they could have the potential to inflict a bit of pain, so be careful with that!
So far, I think my favorite top is the Milly, though the Chloe is not far behind. I have yet to purchase the other triangle-shaped top with adjustable straps, but I have the feeling I’d like that one a lot too.
When will my Triangl obsession end? I’ll never know.
