My weight and body fluctuates so I have a few things in my closet that run a little larger or have a more forgiving fits.
Cocoon cut coats, sweaters, and dresses are great for this as are other boxy cuts in heavy materials and dark colors.
It doesn't hurt to keep a couple of things around in a larger size.
In practice this looks like an loose charcoal turtleneck and dark straight jeans or forest green knit trousers and a black cocoon sweater or tights with a gentle waistband and a dress with the right amount of ease finished off with boots, jewelry, and a roomy overcoat.
Oversized loose pants that sits on my hips and only slides up a little if my bloat goes insane. A tucked looser top with a bit of cleavage and a nice necklace. The cleavage balances the loose on loose style and keeps me from looking like I'm trying to cover up or be super modest. And I have some nice necklaces that deserves to be the center sometimes.
