The Sydney Onepiece in Coral is the same excellent construction as the Brown version, in the colourway that makes the most of direct Mediterranean sun. Coral is the pink-orange that photographs beautifully against blue water and white stone, and in Odabash's swimwear fabric it holds its warmth through repeated use. Sized IT42–IT46.

The Sydney Onepiece in Brown is Melissa Odabash's solid-colour onepiece in the warm neutral that flatters most: the Brown colourway deepens against a tan, reads as sophisticated from every angle, and works as a standalone garment as well as any dress in the bag. The onepiece for every day of the holiday. Sized IT42–IT46.

Menorca bikini set in Chain is the alternative hardware-detailed bikini top to the Liguria — named for the Balearic island that shares a sensibility with the Adriatic coast, and constructed with the chain detail that makes Melissa Odabash's hardware pieces distinctive. The broader size range (IT40–IT46) makes this the more accessible chain-detail option. Sized IT40–IT46.

Nashville bikini set in Mint is the fresh, cooler choice in the Odabash range — Mint is the colourway that reads most beautifully against sun-whitened backgrounds and blue water, and the Nashville cut keeps the whole thing in place. A bikini top for the woman who wants colour without warmth. Sized IT40–IT44.

Positano bikini set in Rose is named after the town it was designed to be worn in — or at least the kind of place Positano represents: terraced, sun-drenched, the sea visible from every angle. The Rose colourway is warm, coral-adjacent, and flattering against the particular golden quality of skin that's been in the Mediterranean sun for a week.

The Petra Kaftan in Mint is the same signature construction as the White, in the season's freshest colourway. Mint makes the Petra more specific — it's the kaftan for women who want the Odabash quality in a colour that contributes as much as the silhouette does. The mint reads beautifully against the blue of the Adriatic and the white stone of every town along the coast. One size.

The Petra Kaftan in White is Melissa Odabash at her most essential — the kaftan that built the label's reputation, in the colourway that works everywhere. White in a kaftan is the classic choice for the Adriatic: it reads against every background the coast provides, it works at every hour, and in Odabash's construction it has the quality to age into something that gets better rather than simply older. One size.

The Lou Florian Dress is Melissa Odabash's most romantic piece this season — Florian suggests flowers, and the construction and fabric give the dress a softness and movement that places it at the intersection of the beach and the evening. Print which makes it specific, and the right woman will understand immediately why.

Liguria bikini set in Chain is Melissa Odabash's most specific bikini top — the chain element is hardware or hardware-inspired detailing that takes a structured bikini top into something more like jewellery. The name references the Italian coastline, and the Chain detail references the kind of gold that the Ligurian jewellers have always made.

The Bria ZigZag Stripe Dress is the dress version of the chevron pattern — a graphic, multi-tone stripe that reads as energetic in motion and deliberate at rest. It's the print dress for the woman who wants pattern with structure, and who knows that a chevron on a moving dress photographs better than most things you'll see this summer. Available XS–L.

The Harriet Dress in Cosmic is the print version of the same considered silhouette — the Cosmic colourway in the longer Harriet format gives the design more canvas than any of the swimwear pieces it appears on, and the result is a dress with a presence that solid colourways can't match. Available S and M.

The Harriet Brown Dress is a longer, more considered version of the Odabash solid-colour beach dress — brown in a longer silhouette reads as more formal than the Ellis mini, and it works for the kind of summer dinner where the occasion is slightly beyond the beach café but short of a restaurant that requires a second thought. Available XS–M.

The Ellis Brown Mini Dress is the beach dress that works as a going-out dress with minimal effort — the brown colourway flatters in the specific way that warm neutrals do against a summer tan, and the mini length is precise enough to read as intentional rather than merely short. Available XS–L.

The Conzumel Onepiece in Ocean Ribbed is the onepiece for the woman who wants the ribbed texture and the Ocean depth in a single garment. The onepiece format gives the ribbing more surface to work with than a bikini does — the texture reads in full from shoulder to hip, and the Ocean colourway has the depth to carry it. Sized IT42–IT46.

Costa bikini set in Gold is the bikini top for the golden hour — a metallic or warm-gold solid that photographs as though the light has made a decision about you. The Costa cut is the one Melissa Odabash uses for the most special colourways: structured without being stiff, and made to be seen. Sized IT40–IT44.

Brisbane bikini set Ocean Ribbed is the bikini top in the season's most textural fabric — ribbed swimwear with a slight structure that creates shape without requiring padding. Ocean is a deep blue-green that reads well in and out of the water, shifting slightly with the light. Available IT42–IT44.

The Clover Dress in Pineapples is Melissa Odabash's print dress at its most joyful — the Pineapples motif in a dress format that has enough movement and volume to make the print read in full as you walk. This is the dress for the day when the holiday is working exactly as it should: the sun is right, the company is good, and you want the wardrobe to match. Available S, M, L.

The Mila Dress in Gold is the version for the evening that the Mila Mint Dress is for the morning. Gold in a beach dress format reads as occasion-specific in the most specific way: it's the dress you wear on the night where the hotel restaurant has candles on the terrace and you want to be precisely as dressed as the occasion warrants. Available S and M.

The Mila Dress in Mint is Odabash's beach dress in the season's coolest, freshest colourway. Where the white Casey is versatile, the Mila Mint is specific: it's the dress you wear when you want the colour to set the mood of the day. It reads beautifully against the blue of the Adriatic and against the white walls of any coastal town. Available XS–M.

The Casey White Dress is Melissa Odabash's case for the white beach dress — a garment that has to work harder than its colour suggests, covering from swimwear through to dinner without looking like it was designed for only one of those occasions. The Casey achieves it through the quality of the fabric and the intelligence of the cut. Available XS–M.

Brussles bikini set Brown is Melissa Odabash's most substantial bikini top for this season — sized IT44–IT48, in a solid Brown that flatters the fuller bust with the kind of construction that makes serious swimwear worth the investment. The name may be spelled differently from the city, but the construction leaves nothing to chance. Available IT44–IT48.

The Maja Chain Kaftan is the piece that Melissa Odabash built her reputation on, reimagined with chain detail. A kaftan in this construction — and with this kind of hardware accent — is not a beach cover-up. It's a dress that happens to work over swimwear. The Maja is the one you pack when you know there will be a dinner on a terrace and you don't want to think about changing. Available XS–M.

Bel Air bikini set Pineapples is Melissa Odabash's more structured bikini top in the Pineapples print — the construction has more support than the Adelaide, making it the right choice for larger busts or anyone who wants more hold through an active day. The Pineapples print in the Bel Air's cut reads with the same warm, golden quality but on a different canvas. Available IT44–IT46.

The Anna CR ZigZag Stripe is the crochet version with a graphic pattern — the zigzag chevron worked into the crochet construction itself, which creates both the design and the texture simultaneously. It's a more graphic reading of the Anna format than the solid Rose version, and it suits the woman who wants the crochet quality without a single colour commitment. Available XS–M.

The Anna CR in Rose is Melissa Odabash's crochet cover-up — and crochet at this level of construction is not what the word usually conjures. This is the kind of crochet that takes weeks to make and looks, in person, like something you'd wear to dinner as well as to the pool. Rose is the warmth that suits a woman who is already warmly coloured by the sun. Available XS–L.

Alba bikini set Brown is Melissa Odabash's take on the solid-colour luxury bikini top — the piece that looks like it cost exactly what it did, and earns it through the quality of the fabric and the cut. Brown in swimwear is a knowing choice: it flatters tanned skin in a way that cooler neutrals don't, and it photographs warmly against any backdrop the Dalmatian coast provides. Available IT40–IT46.

The Adelaide bikini set in Pineapples is the kind of bikini that makes you think someone has given considerable thought to what a swimsuit top should actually do — support without structure, shape without compression, and a print that earns its keep in full Croatian sunlight. The Pineapples print has a warm, graphic quality that works from Hvar to Lošinj, and the Adelaide's cut keeps the whole thing in place through an afternoon of real swimming.

The Cheryl Terry Playsuit in White is the resort wardrobe piece that sounds casual and is, in Odabash's hands, anything but. Terry is the fabric — the same looped cotton that makes the best beach towels, used here as a garment fabric with the understanding that texture can carry an outfit in a way that pattern sometimes can't. Available in L only this season.

The Cancun bikini in Cosmic is the Melissa Odabash bikini for the woman who wants the print to do the talking. Cosmic is a deeper, more complex colourway than the Pineapples — warm but with a kind of celestial layering that reads differently in different light. The Cancun cut is the label's classic triangle with enough construction to hold it in place through movement. Sized IT40–IT44.

The Pucci Silk Palazzo Trousers in Fari print are the season's most practically dressed garment — full-length, palazzo trousers in silk twill, in the Khaki Blue, black based colourway that has the warmth and depth to read as a proper pair of trousers rather than simply printed fabric.

The Pucci Long Skirt in Occhi Khaki Blue is the most formal piece in the Khaki Blue range — a full-length skirt in the Pucci print that reads as a proper garment rather than a beach piece, and that works for the kind of dinner in Dubrovnik's old town where the walk from the restaurant to the harbour requires something with length.

The Pucci Angoli Skirt in Silk Twill in Pale Blue is the most considered skirt in the SS26 range — silk twill gives the Pucci print a weight and structure that jersey or mesh can't match, and in the Pale Blue colourway it reads as the piece you wear when the occasion warrants the best fabric in the bag.

The Pucci Skirt in Silk Twill in Labirinto Nude is the warm-ground version of the silk twill skirt — the Nude colourway in silk twill has the richness of the fabric combined with the flattering warmth of the Nude palette. The silk twill's weight gives the skirt a structure and drape that makes it the dressiest piece in the Nude range.

The Pucci Sleeveless Top in Pale Blue. The top has a defined fit through the shoulder and torso. It matches perfectly with silk twill skirt. The Pale Blue print in a fitted sleeveless top reads as more polished than the relaxed one-size version.

The Pucci Long Kaftan in Angoli Pale Blue is the season's most generous cover-up — full length in the Pale Blue print, which means the Pucci kaleidoscopic design has the maximum canvas to establish its full pattern. At this length and in this colourway, the kaftan reads not as a cover-up but as a destination garment.

The Pucci Short Kaftan in Nude is the beach cover-up that refuses to behave like one. The Pucci Orchidee Nude print in the kaftan format reads as the house's understanding that the space between the pool and the restaurant should be dressed as deliberately as either destination.

The Pucci Sleeveless Long Dress with Shrug in Angoli Pale Blue is the season's most complete garment — a full-length dress with a matching shrug that gives you two pieces in one, both in the Pale Blue print that defines SS26. The shrug adds a coverage option that a standalone dress can't provide, and the Pucci print at full length in this colourway reads as the house at its most confident.

The Labirinto Pucci Sleeveless Dress in Nude is an ethereal dress that accompanies movement with naturalness and precision. The American neckline, which fastens delicately at the neck, creates an elegant and slender line, allowing the fabric to glide lightly over the body.

The Pucci Bikini set in Iride Fuchsia Black is the boldest swimwear piece in the Fuchsia Black colourway is the house at its most vivid and unapologetic. The contrast between the deep black ground and the fuchsia print elements creates a bikini that makes its presence felt from across any pool deck on the coast. Made from Lycra, it hugs the body with elasticity and comfort for bold, refined beachwear.

The Pucci Angoli Onepiece Swimsuit in Pale Blue is the house's kaleidoscopic print in its most complete swimwear expression — the onepiece gives the print more canvas than any bikini format, and the Pale Blue colourway covers that canvas with the freshness and clarity that is the season's defining quality.
