Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
From day to sunset, start with the swimsuit as your canvas. Throw on a crisp, oversized linen shirt—unbuttoned, with the sleeves rolled—and slip on a strappy leather slide for a daytime market stroll. For a beach-to-bar transition, swap the shirt for a sheer kaftan and switch to a raffia mule with a low heel; it adds a touch of evening without overcomplicating.
Accessories are where you can play. A wide-brimmed straw hat and layered gold chains work in the day; for sunset, add a statement earring and a woven tote. The key is to keep the footwear grounded—no stilettos with a swimsuit, ever. A mule or slide keeps the vibe effortless, and if you’re going barefoot on the sand, that’s always the best accessory.
