Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
From day to sunset, this tankini is a chameleon. For a beach day, I layer a crisp white linen shirt over it, unbuttoned and tied at the waist, with the strappy leather slides. The contrast of the structured linen against the sleek lycra is effortless. As the sun dips, I swap the shirt for a flowing kaftan in a complementary print, add a raffia tote, and switch to the raffia mules—it takes me from sand to seaside dinner without missing a beat.
Accessories are where you can really make it your own. A thin gold chain at the neckline echoes the square cut, while oversized sunglasses add that editorial vibe. I always tell my clients to skip heavy jewelry—the simplicity of the silhouette is the statement. And for those who want a little more coverage, a sheer pareo in a soft neutral tones down the high-cut leg while keeping the elegance intact.
