THE PRINT
Chanterelle
Chanterelle trades its wild gold for dusty red and pink, the caps blushing rose across soft cream. The warmth gathers rather than shouts, proof that the richest corner of the understory is usually the gentlest one.

THE COLOUR
Base: Black
Print: Ecru, dusty red, rose pink

THE STORY
Our Keyhole Peplum Dress from Reckless Ericka’s UNDERSTORY collection plays on the look of separates in a single piece. A close round neckline opens into a small keyhole, framed by soft puff sleeves and a buttoned front. The printed chiffon upper body gathers into a peplum detail with mirrored placement at the centre, before meeting a fluid black skirt that falls away from the waist. Dusty red and rose pink caps warm the cream ground, giving the airy top a rich contrast against the darker skirt.

For Work
Keep the neckline buttoned and pair the dress with black slingbacks, a slim tote and simple stud earrings. The peplum defines the waist while the fluid skirt stays comfortable through a warm workday.

For Night Out
Define the waist with a black leather belt, then add a satin clutch, rose-gold or gold jewellery and a slender heel. Sweep the hair back to reveal the keyhole neckline and let the printed bodice carry the colour.

For Weekends
Wear it with flat Mary Janes or leather sandals and a small shoulder bag. A lightweight cardigan can be added indoors without covering the peplum shape.
