Crochet Beachwear is Melissa Odabash's open-knit beachwear collection, spanning cover-ups and dresses in an open-weave texture over cotton, linen and gauze bases, built to layer over swimwear or wear alone into evening.
Crochet Beachwear is Melissa Odabash's open-knit story running through the beachwear range - the same texture in a cover-up thrown over a bikini and in a dress worn on its own once the sun goes down. Rather than one single silhouette, it spans two dedicated edits built around how much the day calls for: a quick layer that comes off as easily as it went on, or a piece that carries all the way through to dinner without a change of clothes.
Ellis Navy Cover-up, an open-knit cover-up in navy viscose-nylon, anchors both edits, while Remi White/Marine Dress and Briony Navy Dress, open-knit beach dresses in polyester, extend the story into Crochet Beach Dresses' longer lengths. Every piece is built to let whatever sits underneath - a bikini, a swimsuit, or bare skin - show through the gaps in the weave, rather than covering it up entirely the way a plainer fabric would.
Start with Crochet Cover Ups for a quick layer over swimwear, or Crochet Beach Dresses for a piece that carries through to dinner - either way, crochet does the work a print might do elsewhere in the range. The weave is the print here, and it doesn't need a pattern or a colour story to prove it.
