I get most of my pants from Torrid and Old Navy. When it comes to finding comfortable pants, those two are my go-to stores. Lane Bryant is another great place to buy pants, if you’re looking for something more business-appropriate.

Torrid and Lane Bryant offer various lengths in their pants, which is great if you’re tall like me. Note: Old Navy doesn’t have many length options for their plus size range. However, in all three stores, you can find stretchy and comfortable pants!

The other three stores I look to for plus-size pants are ASOS, Macy’s, and JCPenney.

Macy’s and JCPenney are department stores, but they both carry a variety of plus size pants. You can find some gems, especially if you’re seeking out stylish and more conservative pants. Also, the two stores have clearance and sales often, so be on the lookout for that to get some deals when you shop.

ASOS is great for trendy and stylish pieces, but you won’t find much in terms of conservative pants to wear to work. But if you want something fashionable, definitely check out their range.

Also, all three stores vary in their pant length options, depending on brand. So make sure to pay attention to what length the pants are if you shop from ASOS, Macy’s, or JCP.

Perfect Underwear for Plus Size Women

A well-fitting bra is a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. However, it’s tricky to find one that fits you well.

I, for one, have a smaller chest, even though I am plus size. So it is difficult for me to find smaller cups with a larger band size. Plus, going to clothing stores and getting the wrong measurements or not even finding my size can be frustrating.

Here are my best tips and tricks for finding the perfect bra and some places to find the best plus-size bras.

Tips & Tricks for Bra Shopping

• Make sure to measure. I recommend measuring yourself at home, but if you are worried about getting it wrong or don’t want to, don’t be afraid to go into a store and ask to be measured.
• Understand that there are different breast shapes and different bras that will support you. Each body is distinct, and we have bras that help us for various reasons. The bra that works for your best friend might not be a winner for you. So shop around to find your perfect one.
• Make a note of what you want your bra to do for you. For you want a full-coverage bra? What about one to create cleavage? What style do you want, a racerback or strapless? It all depends on what you are looking for in a bra.
