Quick answer
Choose the Chica Blue Tieside Bikini Brief for a low-rise, adjustable fit with moderate coverage, or the Icon Black Split Side Bikini Brief for high-waist shaping and a cut-out side detail that shows more leg.
Coverage and silhouette differences
The main difference between these two bikini bottoms is the waist height and side design. The tieside brief sits low on the hips and uses side ties for a customizable fit, while the split side brief has a high waist with cut-out detailing that creates a leg-lengthening effect.
If you prefer more tummy coverage and waist definition, the split side brief is the clear choice. For a minimal, hip-skimming look that pairs well with any top, the tieside offers a classic beach vibe.
Fabric and construction
The Chica Blue Tieside Bikini Brief is made from a blend of 45% nylon, 28% polyester, and 27% elastane, giving it stretch and recovery for a snug but comfortable fit. It is fully lined for opacity.
The Icon Black Split Side Bikini Brief is fully lined at front and back and features a thick waistband designed for waist shaping. Its cut-out sides add a modern twist but mean the fabric does not wrap around the hip continuously.
