Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
For a day at the beach, I’d pair this one-piece with a sheer linen shirt – unbuttoned, sleeves rolled – and a pair of strappy leather slides. The contrast between the structured swimwear and the breezy linen is effortless. Add a wide-brimmed straw hat and oversized sunglasses, and you’re set for a day of lounging and swimming.
When the sun starts to set, swap the slides for raffia mules and add a long, lightweight kaftan in a contrasting texture. Layer on some gold jewelry – a chunky chain necklace or hoop earrings – and you’re ready for a beachside dinner. The beauty of a classic one-piece is its versatility; it transitions from pool to patio without missing a beat.
