Padded Swimsuits is Melissa Odabash's removable-pad one-piece collection, in rose, metallic, green, blue and pink premium Italian swim fabric, built for shape on the days it's wanted and none on the days it isn't.
A removable pad solves a specific problem: shape on the days it's wanted, none on the days it isn't. Melissa Odabash's Padded Swimsuits edit is built around exactly that flexibility, cut in rose, metallic, green, blue and pink for a full season of one-pieces that adjust to how a woman actually wants to feel on a given morning. It is a small piece of engineering that rarely gets much credit.
The
Panarea Black Swimsuit and
Bodrum Green Swimsuit lead the edit with fully removable pads built into flattering, sculpted silhouettes, while the
Maui Rose Sparkle Swimsuit brings a softer, light-catching finish and the ruched-tie
Sydney Black Swimsuit offers another considered approach to shaping across the bust. Cut from premium Italian swim fabric with SPF 50+ protection, every piece is designed to hold its shape through repeated wear, whatever the padding choice on a given day. A removable pad changes almost nothing about how a swimsuit looks from the outside and almost everything about how it feels to wear, which is precisely the point of building a whole edit around the choice.
Style with a kaftan or wide-leg trouser from
Beachwear, and finish with a considered tote from
Bags for the walk from the water to lunch. The best padding is the kind nobody else notices.
