Red Triangle Bikini

Why the red triangle holds

The triangle is the simplest top cut in swimwear — two panels, a tie, nothing to construct around. Put a strong red on it and the cut does the minimum while the color does the maximum. That is why the red triangle is the default bold set.

The edit runs 49 styles, about $17 to $59, across the reds in the store: the deep reds, the bright cherry reds, and reds that arrive as a colorway on multicolor styles.

The styles in this edit

• Classic triangle string sets in solid red
• Micro and sheer versions of the triangle top in red builds
• Halter reds with the tie at the nape
• Pearl chain and rhinestone hardware on the red triangle
• High cut and wrinkle finish red sets for the contrast line

Styling a red triangle set

• Red is the whole outfit — the bottom line and the accessories stay simple
• White is the classic partner; black works when you want the red to read as a piece, not a palette
• Off the beach, a red triangle top under a white shirt reads as swimwear on purpose
• Pick the red to the lighting: deep reds hold in shade, bright reds carry in noon sun

Caring for red swimwear

• Rinse after the water — red dyes move most in the first few swims
• Wash and dry away from white and light sets; a damp red can bleed at the edges
• Dry in shade; direct sun shifts reds toward orange faster than any other family
• Store reds separated from pale fabrics until the dye has settled
