One shoulder dressed, the other left bare, and a high-waisted bottom that crosses at the front. This chocolate brown two piece takes the opposite view to a strappy bikini: a diagonal replaces the symmetry, and the waist sits genuinely high. Chocolate is a rare colour by the sea, warmer than black and less expected than beige.
A two piece swimsuit that covers as much as a one piece, with the freedom of a bikini.
The single shoulder
- Standing : The band across the shoulder is wide and flat: it holds the bust with no need for a second strap.
- Lying down : The high-waisted bottom stays put when you get up, which not every high waist manages.
- In the water : The crossover front absorbs movement rather than fighting it. Nothing gapes on the way back to the sand.
- In the sun : The tan line follows the diagonal of the shoulder, a line that later sits under a fine strap.
Brown asks more than black
Chocolate takes more dye than black to hold its depth, and it is less forgiving: a brown that fades turns dull, not grey. This one is dyed through on an 82% polyamide, 18% elastane base, the house construction for swimwear, dense and opaque even wet. The shoulder edge is built on a covered elastic rather than simply turned over, without which a single band eventually rolls on itself.That level of finish on a detail nobody looks at is what the house of Misciano calls a well-made piece.
What goes with chocolate
- Warm neutrals : Sand sarong, basket bag, matte gold. Chocolate works in the same family and nothing clashes.
- Clean white : An open white shirt: the contrast is crisp without being harsh, unlike black.
- Denim : Raw jeans below, the top left as it is: the brown swimsuit passes for a bandeau top.

Its high waist gives the smoothing effect people look for in a high waisted bikini, without giving up the two piece.
