Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
For daytime, I’d style this one-piece with a crisp linen shirt tied at the waist—not covering the neckline, but open to show it off. Add a pair of strappy leather slides and a woven tote, and you’re ready for a coastal walk or a casual lunch. The high-cut leg means you can skip shorts entirely; it reads as a bodysuit, not a swimsuit.
As the sun sets, swap the slides for raffia mules and layer on a long, duster cardigan or an oversized blazer. Add a chunky gold necklace and a silk scarf in your hair. The same piece goes from beach to bar without missing a beat. I always tell my clients: treat it like a bodysuit, and you’ll unlock a dozen outfits.
