Ditch the oversized sweatshirt and fluffy Ugg boots--this season is all about showing off sexy silhouettes.

Winter weather has long been an excuse to bundle up in clothes three sizes too big, but not this year.

Start with a fitted, dark colored pant or jean. Most jean companies carry either a skinny or slim boot-cut style. Avoid a flared or wide leg pant. Finding a pant closer to the body is key.

If a skinny pant isn't right for your body type, try a long sleeve dress in a neutral color. Neutral colors will slim your shape and show off your curves.

Wearing a dress in the winter may seem crazy, but pairing it with a cute jacket will keep you warm all day.

Try to stay away from bulky jackets, though. Go for a leather jacket or blazer instead. And if a jacket isn't enough, try a coat that hits slightly above the hip. Long coats can look overwhelming on most body types.

Shoes are the secret to a perfect winter outfit. Stray away from anything that has a fur lining. Tall boots and heeled booties will create a sexier shape. If for some outfits a boot seems too masculine, replace it with a suede stiletto or a colorful heel.

When wearing neutrals, avoid looking too monochromatic. Adding fun accessories will spice up your look. Try a small purse and sparkly jewelry.

Whether you work a sexy boot or skinny jeans, staying warm is no longer an excuse to dress frumpy.
