Beach Skirts is Melissa Odabash's quick-dress skirt collection, in swim-weight fabric, printed cotton and crochet-inspired knit, built to pull on over a bikini in seconds. There's a version of beach dressing that takes four steps and one that takes four seconds - pulling a skirt on over a bikini as she leaves the water is the second kind. Melissa Odabash builds Beach Skirts around that speed, spanning wrap, tie and softer pull-on styles rather than one single silhouette, so the choice comes down to how much shape and texture she wants on a given day rather than how much time she actually has to get dressed. The wrap Cassidy Marine Skirt is cut from the same swim-weight fabric as the Editions swimwear line, designed to match rather than simply cover a swimsuit from the same collection. Monroe Jardin Skirt brings a printed Jardin cotton alternative for a softer daytime option, while Dawn Brown Skirt brings a knit, crochet-inspired texture for the days something textural suits the moment better than a print. Knot the Cassidy over its matching Editions swimsuit for a coordinated look, or reach for Monroe or Dawn over any bikini for something more relaxed, a speed of dressing Melissa Odabash has designed toward for more than two decades of beach-to-lunch transitions - either way, a bag from Accessories and a pair of sandals finish it without adding a second layer to think about. The best beach skirt is the one you forget you're wearing until someone asks where it's from.
