Bralette Bikinis is Melissa Odabash's scoop-neckline bikini top collection, in premium Italian swim fabric with adjustable spaghetti straps, built as a softer support alternative to underwire.
An underwire is not the only route to support, and Melissa Odabash's Bralette Bikinis makes the case for the softer alternative. Built around scoop necklines and adjustable spaghetti straps rather than a rigid cup, cut in black, green and blue, this is swimwear designed to feel as good by the third hour poolside above the Amalfi coast as it did in the changing room, when comfort tends to matter rather less than cut.
The scoop-neck Kailua Black Bikini Top and gathered Monterey White Bikini Top lead the edit, both built without an underwire yet offering more structure than a bralette silhouette usually promises. The Kailua's spaghetti straps feed through soft rings at the bust and tie at the back for a fit that adjusts as the day goes on, while the Monterey gathers at centre front with its straps running over the shoulder for extra support without a wire beneath. Cut from premium Italian swim fabric with SPF 50+ protection, both styles resist chlorine and sun oils while holding their shape through repeated wear.
Pair with high-waisted or tie-side bottoms from Bikini Bottoms, then finish with a linen shirt or kaftan from Beachwear for the walk to lunch. Soft structure, worn well, still holds its shape long after the day that tested it, and rarely announces itself the way a heavier underwire top does.
