Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
From day to sunset, this tankini is a chameleon. In the morning, throw on a crisp white linen shirt—unbuttoned, sleeves rolled—and a pair of raffia mules for a breezy market run. The square neckline peeks out just enough to keep the look intentional. For a midday beach break, swap the shirt for a sheer kaftan and slide into strappy leather sandals; the high-cut leg stays sleek under a sarong.
As the sun dips, layer on a tailored blazer in a light fabric like cotton or seersucker. Add gold hoop earrings and a woven tote, and you’re ready for a seaside dinner. The key is to treat the tankini like a bodysuit—tuck it into high-waisted linen trousers or a flowy maxi skirt, and it transitions effortlessly. Accessorize with a wide-brim hat and oversized sunglasses for that editorial finish.
