Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula

Start your day by throwing on this suit under an oversized linen shirt, unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled. Add a pair of raffia mules and oversized sunglasses for a relaxed but put-together morning look. As the sun climbs, ditch the shirt and let the suit stand alone—the square neckline and high cut make it a statement piece in itself.

For sunset, layer a lightweight kaftan or a sheer cover-up over the suit, swap the mules for strappy leather slides, and add a bold cuff bracelet. The key is to keep accessories minimal—the suit is the hero. I always tell my clients, ‘Let the silhouette do the talking, and you’ll never look overdone.’
