Just when you think there’s nothing new that can be done with swimwear, someone came up with the ingenious idea of making bikinis out of neoprene – this year’s most coveted utility-to-catwalk fabric. Forget wet suits. Having seen Triangl’s impeccable neoprene bikinis, you’d think that neoprene was meant to be made into bikinis.

For me it’s always been a search for the the swimsuit. When you’re on the beach, your bikini is the only thing you’ve got on to make an impression, so it had better be a good one. Triang ‘s Tilly neoprene bikini was it for me. It’s sporty chic, with the mesh overlay top and streamlined bottoms, but at the same time, it’s undeniably feminine and sexy – it’s all about the triangle shaped bra and the perfect butt framing cut.

Though summer is not for a few months yet, it was still a dream come true to be gifted a pair of Triangl’s Tilly Sunburst. So since it’s too cold to shoot in this bikini, this is an old fashioned show-and-tell. This is hands down the cutest bikini I have ever owned. Proof? My boyfriend took one look at me in it and gave me that ‘you are not wearing that anywhere’ face.

The best part about Triangl is that it’s absolutely affordable. I went on their website expecting to see $200 price tags, but you can literally buy any bikini in the Triangl range for under $100.  They’ve also started making the cutest underwear – about time!
