THE COLOUR
Deep Juniper Green
A deep juniper green forms the base, cooler and more saturated than olive, yet softer than forest. It carries the depth of evergreen foliage after rain, rich but not overpowering.
The tone sits confidently between green and blue, giving it versatility across seasons. It pairs beautifully with charcoal, espresso, muted florals, and soft ivory.

THE STORY
Our Lantern Pankou Top from Reckless Ericka’s ABIDE collection reinterprets tradition through a modern, assured lens. The silhouette wraps gently across the body, fastening with a row of pankou button. Each fastening adds texture and intention, anchoring the design with heritage detail. The lantern sleeves fall in a soft, rounded volume, tapering subtly at the wrist to create shape without heaviness. A self tie sash defines the waist, allowing you to cinch and sculpt the fit while maintaining fluid movement through the bodice.

For Work
Pair it with our Pleated Slit Pants (Linger) or our Contour Slit Skirt, keeping the sash neatly tied to emphasise the waist. The lantern sleeves lend presence without overpowering, especially when styled with polished flats or a refined heel in neutral tones.

For Night Out
As evening arrives, style with our Billowing Skirts, adding sculptural earrings or a sleek cuff to echo the top’s confident lines. A pointed heel sharpens the silhouette beautifully.

For Weekends
On weekends, lose the sash and wear it over our Tuxedo Shorts or Modern Hakama. The lantern sleeves create effortless drama against an otherwise pared back look, delivering a sense of ease that still feels distinctly Reckless Ericka.
