Good Graces, Not-So-Evil Clutches

Legwork

Opaque tights are not always the most slimming. A sheer pair in a trendy pattern adds style to a simple dress. Avenue double diamond pointelle tights, $10; onestopplus.com

In the Bag

Wrist-a-Cuffs

Rigid metal cuffs and hoops are tough to fit. Bangles with elastic are a good alternative (and bonus-you won’t spend all day clanking around!) Chicos Gedela stretch bracelet, $24; chicos.com

Hand of Applause

Nothing looks worse than pouring yourself into a too-small size, including leather gloves. This chic cable-knit pair accommodates all sizes and extra length won’t leave your wrists exposed to the cold. Gap cable knit fingerless gloves, $20; gap.com

Belt It Out

The shopping pros will agree: when you find something you love that fits properly, snap it up in as many colors as possible (or better yet, reversible!) Lane Bryant classic reversible belt, $25; lanebryant.com

Sock Smarts

Sock marks happen, but not if you’re prepared. Go for comfort with socks specially designed with a wider lip. Lane Bryant argyle socks, $9; lanebryant.com

Block Party

Small-print patterns add an extra dimension to any figure. Chic colorblocking will keep you out of monotone territory and works for fuller shapes. Lane Bryant colorblock wrap, $50; lanebryant.com
