Beach Trousers is Melissa Odabash's loose-tailoring trouser collection, in cotton, marine viscose-nylon and lace-crochet, built to move from beach to dinner without a change of clothes.
Beach Trousers are the easiest kind of tailoring there is - loose enough to pull on straight from the beach, cut well enough to wear straight into dinner without any real change of clothes at all. Melissa Odabash designed them for exactly that stretch of the day, when shorts start to feel too casual and a dress feels like more effort than the evening actually calls for. Krissy White Trouser opens the range in soft white cotton, easy enough to wear all afternoon and still look considered by the time dinner arrives, while Trisha Marine Trouser brings the same ease in a marine viscose-nylon blend and Odette Ivory Trousers offers a lace-crochet texture in ivory for an evening that calls for something a little more detailed, all three cut with the same loose, unlined leg that moves easily whichever way the evening goes. Style with a plain top from Beach Tops or a linen shirt from Beach Shirts and finish with sandals from Accessories for a look considered enough for a beach-club dinner without ever feeling overdressed for the setting. Beach Trousers are the one piece in this edit built for the evening first and the beach second, and the easy, unstructured cut shows it in every seam.
