THE PRINT
Blue Carnation
Ruffled petals rendered in deep blue tones, holding both structure and movement within a single form. Familiar in shape, yet unexpected in colour, the Blue Carnation sits between what is known and what is reworked. The print carries a sense of reinterpretation, where something classic is adapted and renewed.

THE COLOUR
Base: Slate grey
A cool, composed grey with a slight blue undertone, it acts an an anchor to the printed side details and sash.
Print: Midnight Navy, Cobalt Blue, Teal, Coral Red, Blush Pink, Moss Green, Soft White
Sash: Dusty Rose, Slate Grey, Deep Teal, Deep Burgundy

THE STORY
Our Square Sleeves Pankou Top from Reckless Ericka’s ARRAYED collection is designed with a sense of structure that feels both precise and easy to wear. The silhouette sits clean through the bodice, with a sharp neckline and squared sleeves that frame the shoulders while the Pankou opening roots the piece in tradition. At the sides, printed gussets reveal themselves as you move. This interplay between solid and print brings depth to the piece, while the slight flare at the hem keeps the overall shape balanced and flattering.

For Work
Style it with our Contour Skirt (Black), letting the clean lines and pankou detailing carry the look. Keep the palette refined, with low block heels and a polished shoulder bag.

For Night Out
As evening sets, pair it with our Swing Skirt (Dog Rose) and polished pumps. Accessorise with simple and classic jewellery to keep the focus on the silhouette.

For Weekends
On weekends, wear it with denim or our Drawstring Palazzo Pants (White). Keep the look casual by pairing it with strappy sandals and a cross body bag.
