Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula

From day to sunset, this one-piece is your chameleon. Start with a sheer linen shirt over it, unbuttoned, with a wide-brim hat and those strappy leather slides. You’re beach-ready, but you also look put-together for a seaside lunch. As the sun dips, swap the slides for raffia mules and add a long, duster cardigan—now you’re set for a casual dinner.

Accessories make the transition seamless. A chunky gold chain or a woven belt at the waist can take the suit from sporty to chic. I always advise my clients to keep a silk scarf in their bag—it can double as a headwrap or a sarong, adding that final touch of elegance. This piece is designed to be styled, not just worn.
