Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
Start your day with the suit alone, a wide-brim hat, and oversized sunglasses. Throw on a sheer kaftan or a simple linen button-down for lunch by the water. As the sun starts to dip, swap the kaftan for a cropped knit or a blazer—yes, a blazer over a swimsuit works if it’s unstructured. Add a statement earring and you’re ready for aperitivo.
For footwear, I’m loving a strappy leather slide—it hits that sweet spot between dressy and casual. If you’re on sand, a raffia mule adds texture and keeps you grounded. And always carry a silk scarf; it can become a head wrap, a waist tie, or a shoulder cover when the breeze picks up. That’s the kind of versatility I build every capsule wardrobe around.
