Kaftans is Melissa Odabash's resort cover-up collection, in cotton, linen, crochet and broderie anglaise, built to sit over swimwear from beach to evening.
Melissa Odabash has always believed a resort wardrobe is only as good as its transitions, and the kaftan is where that belief shows most clearly. Cut for the long, warm days that define a coastal holiday, the edit spans flowing silhouettes and shorter, easier cuts, each designed to sit over swimwear rather than compete with it, moving easily from Capri to the Amalfi Coast and on to the Caribbean without a change of plan.
The Ashley and Ivy return as familiar Core Collection staples, trusted for their coverage and drape, while the Petra and Naia bring a newer, more fluid silhouette and the Anna and Nina suit shorter, more relaxed dressing by the pool or on the terrace. Cotton, linen, crochet and broderie anglaise run through the edit, chosen for breathability and movement rather than structure, keeping each piece cool in the heat while packing easily for onward travel, the same craftsmanship the label brings to swimwear applied here to something softer.
Layer a kaftan directly over a bikini or swimsuit from
Swimwear, finish with sandals from Accessories, or reach for a Beach Dress when the evening ahead calls for something more structured. A kaftan is never just a cover-up here, it is the difference between leaving the beach behind and arriving somewhere else entirely.
