Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
Daytime, I’d layer a crisp white linen shirt over the one-piece—unbuttoned and knotted at the waist for a relaxed, editorial vibe. Slip on a wide-brimmed straw hat and flat raffia sandals, and you’re ready for a beachside brunch. For a quick transition to sunset, swap the sandals for strappy leather slides, add a sheer kaftan or a silk sarong tied low on the hips, and throw on a pair of oversized gold hoop earrings.
Accessories make the difference: a delicate anklet draws the eye down the leg line, while a structured tote bag adds a polished contrast to the softness of the swimwear. I always tell my clients to treat the one-piece as a bodysuit—tuck it into high-waisted trousers or a flowing maxi skirt for an unexpected evening look. That’s how you get multiple wears from a single piece, which is the heart of a capsule wardrobe.
