Shawls or capes are also good options. By learning a few tricks in folding, twisting, and tying scarves, you'll add lots of style to any outfit.
Loosen up. Finally, an excuse for comfort! Buy pants with elasticized waistbands.
Get realistic about shoes. Invest in flat or low-heeled shoes -- the slip-on type with rubber soles. You'll be less likely to fall.
Got a shoulder bag? Switch to a backpack. Those heavy shoulder bags can throw you off balance, advises Randall. "A backpack helps distribute weight more evenly." And shop around; there are many sleek backpack styles to choose from.
Invest in great undergarments. The right bra -- typically a long-line bra -- can help provide support and increase comfort. You may need a personal fitting to find the undergarments that work best for you.
A long-line shaper (aka girdle) helps support the stomach. Some women need spinal supports like corsets or braces prescribed by their doctor. "When you're shopping, be sure to wear those spinal supports when trying on clothing -- to make sure the garment will fit over the support," advises Randall.
