real or fake Triangl? a side-by-side comparison

Image
After posting tips on how to verify the authenticity of a Triangl bikini , I thought it'd be helpful to also post a side-by-side photo comparison of an authentic Triangl and a (very good) dupe . I actually bought the dupe off of Poshmark after being told by the seller it was authentic.. So don't trust everything sellers say without proof! The Triangl style I will be using in this comparison is the Milly top. The blue one is the dupe while the yellow is the authentic Triangl Milly in Las Vegas Lights. As you can see, dupes of the Milly have gotten so accurate that it can be nearly impossible to tell a fake one apart from a real one. In fact, many Milly dupes have started covering up the raw hems near the labels, so even that isn't a guaranteed sign of a dupe. Meanwhile, Winnie bikinis haven't quite caught up, and dupes of those aren't as spot-on; raw hems have remained raw on those. As for the bikinis Triangl has released in 2016, selle...

TRIANGL review: Milly in Santa Rosa Splash (dupe)

Oh, the Milly.. It is now one of my favorite Triangl tops. As always, here is a friendly reminder that I am reviewing exclusively the top. Also, I must disclose that this is unfortunately a dupe. I've learned only fairly recently how to determine authenticity , but by that time I had purchased dupes of both the Winnie and Milly. Therefore it is up to you to decide whether or not this review applies to an actual Triangl bikini; however, I have heard that some dupes are almost exactly like the real thing, and this one definitely had me fooled for quite a while. This raw edge is how I figured out it was a dupe and that I had been lied to when told it was authentic. The rest of the top is literally spot on. My second Triangl top was the Milly in size XS and also from Poshmark. First off, the issue of beamers, a problem I had with the Winnie top , is nonexistent with this top. The Milly has thick, molded bra cups that are quite supportive. I love the color; it...

TRIANGL overview + bottoms

Although the first day of summer was just three days ago, I’ve had my eye on the brightly-colored, neoprene Triangl bikinis for quite a while now. Even though I can’t swim (shhhh), just seeing the bikinis makes me want to hit the beach. And that’s totally fine because I don’t think that many people actually swim at the beach, right? ;) What do casual beach visitors actually do other than walk around, sunbathe, and read under an umbrella? I tried figuring this out the other day and couldn’t come up with much. Maybe I haven’t been beach-ing quite right. Given that Triangl bikinis are quite pricey- between 79 and 99 USD- and with shipping tacking on an additional 20 USD, I’ve been looking to shopping apps like Poshmark and Mercari in search of a new bikini for a lower price. I’ve mainly been searching for Triangl tops. After scouring the Internet for reviews, I found that a lot of people were unhappy with the full-coverage bottoms, and after seeing pictures for m...
