Fun in the Sun

Maya Swimsuits

Some people take beachwear way too seriously.

Skimptastic bikinis, matchy-matchy sarongs, and pricey, impractical totes? That would be a pass, thanks much. Your average day in the sun shouldn’t require as much effort as a black-tie affair.

Maya swimsuits provide the perfect user-friendly alternative. The new line is a cross between the wider American cut and the racy South American aesthetic and is designed to fit a variety of body types. Available in one or two pieces, they come in tons of styles (from halter to string tops), jazzy colors, and flirty prints — all with detailing like ruffle trim, string belting, and strategically placed rear seams. Best of all, each suit comes in a linen pouch that converts into a low-slung pareo. Seriously well designed. Seriously sexy.

Just not too serious.
