Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
From day to sunset, this tankini is a chameleon. Start your morning with a simple cover-up—a crisp white linen shirt, unbuttoned, with the sleeves rolled up, and you’re ready for a beachside brunch. As the sun climbs, ditch the shirt and add a wide-brimmed straw hat and your strappy leather slides. For a late-afternoon dip, it’s just the tankini and a pair of gold hoop earrings—effortless, yet polished.
As the evening rolls in, I love layering a flowing maxi skirt over the tankini, cinched with a thin leather belt at the waist. Add a raffia mule and a lightweight kimono in a complementary shade, and you’ve transitioned to dinner without ever stepping into a dressing room. The key is to keep accessories minimal—let the high-cut leg and sculpted neckline do the talking. And always pack a silk scarf to tie around your neck or wrist for a pop of color.
