Low Back Swimsuits is Melissa Odabash's low-back one-piece collection, in premium Italian swim fabric, built for days spent as much lying face-down on a lounger as swimming.
The back of a swimsuit rarely gets the same attention as the front, and Melissa Odabash's Low Back Swimsuits edit exists specifically to correct that. Cut for the days spent as much lying face-down on a lounger as swimming, this is a collection built around a single considered detail: how a one-piece looks from behind, walking away from the water rather than into it. A low back photographs differently to a low front, and Melissa Odabash treats that difference as reason enough to build a whole edit around it.
The Kos Black Swimsuit leads the edit, its low scoop back and under-bust panel bringing shape to a part of the silhouette usually left plain, alongside removable pads for a fit that adjusts to preference. Cut from premium Italian swim fabric with SPF 50+ protection, it resists chlorine and sun oils while holding its shape through repeated wear, a construction detail that rewards a second look rather than only a first impression from the front.
Style with hair worn up rather than down, and a considered sandal from Accessories, so the back of the look gets the same attention as the front. A low back is a detail best appreciated slowly, which is rather the point of building a lounger into the day.
