Dinner out: Bootleg pants
Bootleg pants and a top with billowing sleeves balance out big thighs, making them less overpowering. When buying an unstructured top, pick one with a slimming belt.

Club Monacopants ($129), Ann Taylor platform shoes ($138), M. Clifford Designs tote ($595)

Cocktail party: Skinny zones
This dress emphasizes your skinny zones. The big belt hits where you’re naturally thin (below the bust), while clever color-fading highlights the narrowest part of your legs.
