The easiest dressing tip? Pick clothes that fit! We love this classic dress with elbow-length sleeves for extra coverage. Avenue seamed ponte dress, $30; avenue.com

Try a Topper

Shop for blazers that look great open, too. They’ll add snap to any outfit and won’t make you feel buttoned up. Chicos glimmering houndstooth jacket, $129; chicos.com

Slack Off

Straight leg jeans provide a forgiving alternative to vacuum-sealed skinnies and won’t add extra curves like a flaired style. DKNY JEANS straight leg cargo pants, $69; lanebryant.com

Pretty Prairie

Long skirts are stylish again (woo-hoo!) and provide plenty of coverage for legs. Jessica London long skirt in moleskin, $45; avenue.com

Shape Smash-Up

If you pick a bulkier piece for up top, like this cozy faux fur vest, temper it with a slim-cut pant. Michael Michael Kors faux fur vest, $130; macys.com

Pants Parade

A fashion no-brainer: try cuts specifically made for fuller figures. Not Your Daughter’s Jeans bootcut corduroy pants, $108; nordstrom.com
