Svelte figures are definitely in, but you don't have to shed pounds for that.

This fall, designers like MaxMara, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent are advocating fashion's new slim figure by recommending four essentials including a wide belt that cinches the narrowest part of your waist, a pencil skirt that sits high upon your waist and narrows into a tight fit over your knees, black leggings that reach the top of your ankles and are solid, not sheer, and finally the skinny jeans.
Looking skinny is not that difficult anymore, specially with such innovative designing.
However as a matter of rule, don't wear a smaller size on the name of skinny jeans, but check out the fit, which is supposed to be skinny.
Avoid patterned leggings. Don't buy leggings that hit any higher than mid-calf as they will make you look stumpy and thick.
