Maxi skirt, or palazzo pants? The wind is playing tricks in this shot and as such I can’t really say for sure. But either way it’s an example of how pleats can transcend the seasons. In fact there’s a little bit of every season in this look: it may be heavy and black and cosied up by a snug scarf, but the bare arms and sandalled feet are ready for any burst of spring 2011 sunshine.

This all-black look was captured in Helsinki by Glam Canyon.
