Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula

Start your day by layering a crisp white linen shirt over the tankini, unbuttoned and tied at the waist—this gives you instant cover-up chic for a beachside breakfast. As the sun climbs, shed the shirt and let the high-cut leg do the talking. Add a wide-brim straw hat and oversized sunnies for that editorial ease.

Come sunset, swap the linen shirt for a sheer kaftan or a long, lightweight cardigan in a contrasting tone. Slide into strappy leather slides or raffia mules, and add a stack of gold bangles. The tankini transitions seamlessly from pool to terrace, so you’re never caught off guard when the evening plans shift.
