Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula

From day to sunset, this tankini is your chameleon. For a beach day, layer it under a sheer linen shirt—unbuttoned, sleeves rolled—with a wide-brim hat and those strappy slides. The shirt adds a breezy, editorial vibe while protecting your shoulders. As the sun dips, swap the slides for raffia mules and add a long, open-knit cardigan or a silk sarong tied at the hip. You’ll transition straight to a beach bar or dinner without a second thought.

Accessorize with gold—thin chains, hoop earrings, and a woven tote. Avoid heavy jewelry; it fights the clean lines. For a sunset look, a low-slung belt over the high-waisted shorts cinches the waist and adds structure. If you’re feeling bold, a sheer, floor-length duster over the tankini turns it into a statement evening piece. The key is to let the tankini be the foundation—everything else is just a supporting character.
