Fashion's winter shapely silhouette

Ok, I might be a little obsessed about size but I really can't get my head around all these opposite messages we are getting:

* Models are getting thinner by the minute and celebrities like to compare their bones.
* Designers are changing the size labels to make customers feel good (that's why an 8 can easily be a 10 in another shop)
* They tell us chocolate is good for the health
* And shape is "in"...

The Brigitte Bardot look is likely to inspire quite a few ways in which we can wear this winter's trends. I think it's an amazing thing: hips and leggings have always been a spicy match.

Also, there is nothing better than a tight stripped wool mini dress to valorise a womanly figure. And, as not many people have the physique of Twiggy, the fifties shapely look is a perfect fashion!

The feminine form has been celebrated on the catwalk this season, from Luella's mini soft black glamour dresses to over the knee high socks.

Basically it's all about shape: cropped trousers with a tucked in shirt, flowy and soft, cashmere cardigans and wool dresses.

If we can do it, why can't the models?
