What to Wear in Paradise: The Maldivian Luxury Edit

The Maldives is more than a destination — it’s a feeling. A place where time slows, the ocean hums in shades of sapphire, and every breeze whispers elegance. And when you're surrounded by such natural beauty, what you wear should feel just as effortless and extraordinary.

At Estival by Nina, we design with this exact rhythm in mind — clothing that celebrates tropical ease without sacrificing sophistication. Whether you're arriving barefoot on a private sandbank or sipping cocktails under a coconut grove, here’s your go-to style edit for living luxuriously in paradise.

1. The Island Arrival Look: Airy, Elevated, Effortless

First impressions matter — especially when the sea plane touches down and the island welcomes you like a dream. Opt for a lightweight kaftan or breezy linen set in sun-washed tones, inspired by coral reefs and sea foam.

Style tip: Pair it with oversized sunglasses and a structured straw tote. Luxury in the Maldives is quiet confidence — never overdone.

2. Sunset Soirée: Silhouettes that Flow with the Tide

As the sky melts into rose and tangerine, step into something that moves with you — think bias-cut slips, silk halters, or soft draped dresses that echo the fluidity of the ocean.

Our signature fabrics are designed to feel like skin — light, breathable, and irresistibly soft against the salt-kissed air.

Style tip: A single gold accessory and slicked-back hair speak louder than layers.

3. Barefoot Luxury: Beach Weddings & Sandbank Moments

Maldivian weddings are rooted in intimacy and awe. For these moments, we love minimalist bridal whites, pearl-toned dresses, or pastel ensembles that reflect the sky and sea. Delicate details like open backs, sheer panels, or hand-finished embroidery offer just the right amount of drama.

Style tip: Forget heels. A barefoot chain anklet and a glowing tan are all you need.

Welcome to a wardrobe where every day feels like a holiday, and luxury is as natural as the ocean tide.
