Beach Tops is Melissa Odabash's bikini-layering top collection, currently anchored in open crochet texture, built to cover enough for leaving the water without the structure of a shirt.
A top built to sit over a bikini has to do less than a shirt and more than a bandeau - covering enough to leave the water in, without the structure of something buttoned or fully tailored. Beach Tops is Melissa Odabash's answer to that narrow brief, still a small and deliberately unfinished edit for now rather than a rushed full range. Laurianne's own view is that the construction has genuine cultural momentum right now, which is part of why this page exists even at a single style. Polly Terracotta Top currently anchors the range in an open crochet texture, cut loose enough to pull over damp skin without clinging or needing adjustment through an afternoon by the water. It's the one confirmed piece in this edit so far, chosen for the same textured, directional appeal running through the wider Crochet family - a construction currently having a real style moment with a younger, trend-driven customer. Wear over a bikini for the walk back from the water, or with Beach Shorts for a considered daytime look that doesn't need much else added to it. This page is still building out its range - more styles are needed before it carries its full weight alongside the already-established Beach Shirts collection. Expect it to grow as more crochet styles are confirmed this season.
