I want pants that fit but don't call attention to my stomach, aren't saggy in the bottom, and that are classic or on trend.

When it comes to really great pants in plus size that look classic and polished, I have to recommend the Kady pant from ELOQUII.

Steer clear from trapeze or a-line tops as well as anything with an empire waistline. You want something fitted, or that is gathered to create the effect of a waist at or below your natural waistline.

Surplice or faux wrap style tops and wrap dresses are great Don't be afraid of tops that have a gently elasticized waist or a self-belt at the waist. Instead of adding bulk, it will help create the effect of an hourglass shape.
