Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
Start your day with the suit as a top—pair it with high-waisted linen trousers and a sheer white shirt tied at the waist. That’s my go-to for a morning market run or a seaside café. The square neckline reads like a chic bodysuit, so don’t tuck it; let the high-cut leg peek out just enough to keep it playful. Add a woven tote and flat leather sandals, and you’re set.
As the sun dips, swap the trousers for a flowing maxi skirt in a contrasting hue—think ivory with a terracotta suit. Layer a lightweight linen blazer over your shoulders (not on, just draped) and switch to a strappy heel or a raffia mule. Finish with oversized sunglasses and a delicate gold chain. You’ve gone from beach to bar without a single change. That’s the beauty of a piece that works as hard as you do.
