So what's in?

Skinnies.

Skinny jeans will make your legs look long and add tons of sex appeal without the sleaze.

These skinny jeans from Levi's Signature are perfect.

They're inexpensive, cut well and ideal for Asian women.

If you're young and skinny, get the tightest jeans you can and exploit the trend.

Team them with a simple T-shirt and you're good for a day out at Orchard Road.

If you have a bigger frame, make sure you get your skinnies in the darkest shade possible.

Wear them casual - with T-shirts or a nice blouse. Don't tuck your top in.

Team them with heels.

But skinnies are not for everyone. If you are pear-shaped, it is best to stay away.

If you don't care, go ahead, enjoy yourself.
