Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
For a day-to-night transition, I love layering this one-piece with an oversized linen shirt—unbuttoned and tied at the waist for a breezy, effortless vibe. Pair it with flat raffia mules and a straw tote for daytime exploring. Then, as the sun dips, swap the shirt for a flowing maxi skirt or tailored trousers, add a pair of strappy leather slides, and you’re ready for dinner. The swimsuit becomes a bodysuit, and the look is seamless.
Accessories can make or break the outfit. I’d keep jewelry minimal—perhaps a delicate gold chain and hoop earrings to mirror the square neckline’s clean lines. For hair, a slicked-back low bun or loose waves both work. And don’t forget a lightweight cover-up that can double as a wrap for cooler evenings. This is the kind of piece that rewards thoughtful styling, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
