Review: Brakinis Swimwear

Hello everyone!

I know Summer is long gone, but I thought I would still introduce you to my 'Triangl' swimwear dupes from Brakinis that I recently received from them. The lovely Bella from Brakinis offered to send me two pairs of bikinis to review. Hope you enjoy. :)



Each bikini came in these transparent bags with Brakinis written across the front. I personally would not use this bag at the beach but it's a good way to protect the bikini. 


First thing you see when you open the bag is a card with instructions on how to wash your neoprene bikini and how to store it. Just a heads up, I haven't yet used the bikini in water because I got in at the end of the Summer and did not have a chance to go swimming. 


 Once you get the actual bikini out, the bottoms are laid flat in a plastic bag and the top is folded in half. 
You can see 'Brakini' inscribed in the zip of the bikini aswell as a small 'Brakinis' label that can be removed.


The first bikini is the Winnie - Molly Rosewolf. I got the top in an Extra Small and the bottoms in a Small. 
I would say they both fit true to size. My usual bra size is 32B and my bottoms are a UK size 8. The quality is really great and there were no creases in my bikinis at all when I received them.


The second one I got was the Ollie - New York, top in XS and bottoms in S. The bottoms fit perfectly as I said before, but the top on this one was a very weird fit. I had to adjust the strap to the tightest they would go and move the cups around a little because I had a bit of 'side boob'. I probably would not wear this top in the water due to the fact that my breasts may be exposed. Here's a photo of me with this one on, and you may not be able to see but my boobs looked very flat. Very unflattering on me. A bit of a strange bikini top in my opinion, but hey that's just how I feel. 


 I would definitely recommend Brakinis as a good dupe to the Triangl bikinis. The prices are quite reasonable and the quality is really good. I got mine in just under a month, with the E-Packet shipping option, so if you want yours ASAP, you could try the DHL Express shipping for a faster delivery. They also have a wide range of bikinis if these two aren't your style, so go and have a browse. I hope this was somewhat helpful to anyone looking into to buying from this website.

Triangl DUPES !

Hello everyone!


So as i'm sure you have all heard of Triangl bikinis. I found these neoprene bikinis on Instagram and have wanted to buy a set for a few months now, but I could not justify paying so much for a bikini that I would hardly wear. I then decided to look for some cheaper alternatives, but with the same style so that I will still be fashionable when I go to the beach. I found some for under $30! How amazing is that? They are from Romwe.com and they have a wide variety of 'faux' Triangl bikinis. And yes, i am aware that the quality will not be the same, but the price is much more affordable and the fabric will not make you sweat as much ;) Am I right? I also think that if you are not sure if Triangl bikinis will suit your body shape or for other reasons, you can always try this dupe and see where it takes you.  Have a fab summer and let me know if you have found some dupes of these bikinis.
