As chilly as it is in winter – and as much as we wrap ourselves in bulky tweeds and wools – sleek never goes out of season.

The ubiquity of sleek is apparent in this fall’s slim-fit jeans, snug turtlenecks and pencil skirts.

It’s also evident in fabrics, from silks and satins to cottons and fine knits.

Sleek leggings are everywhere (for a dizzying hosiery treat, check out www.sockdreams.com) and even hats are taking a turn for the streamlined.

No matter your shape, clothing that follows your natural lines and curves has a flattering effect, especially if you wear it with confidence.
