Nautical Fashion by Claire
My name’s Claire and I am the writer of Plus Size Fashion Blog Curvalicious Inspiration.
At a size 20 I often found it difficult to get fashion inspiration from today’s magazines, websites and fashion pages so I decided to start my own blog to help myself and other women find the best buys, latest styles and fashion inspiration in bigger sizes.
I spend my days scouring the net to find fashionable clothes, fashion advice and plus size industry news to keep myself and my readers up to date.
It’s great to be able to show other plus size women that no matter what your size, it‘s possible to look good every day and on every type of occasion!
I love the nautical theme for summertime because it’s fresh and it’s so easy to embrace the look as well. Just choose from blues, reds, whites, stripes, spots, cropped jeans, colourful accessories and casual pumps!
Here are my favourite Evans items that make up 3 cool summer nautical styles.
Look 1
Team a striped top with denim shorts and casual comfy pumps to create this look. Then jazz it up with some chunky red jewellery and complete the look with a pair of oversized sunglasses for the perfect summer outfit!
Look 2
My second choice is a classy, cool outfit. Wear linen trousers with a striped swing top, red sandals and more chunky red jewellery for a really sleek look. Swap the flats for a pair of bright red wedges or heels to dress it up for summer nights out.
Look 3
Push the boat out with my final cute, girly nautical outfit. Team up a white midi skirt with a plain white camisole then add a red bolero and this lovely striped red scarf. Chunky jewellery is the key to finishing off your outfit. Wear with a pair of summery espadrille sandals for another perfect nautical look.
No matter what you decide to wear this summer, don’t be afraid to experiment with lots of colour and accessories to look and feel great!

3 ways to wear the Animal Print Shirt by Alissa
I’m Alissa from Stylish Curves and some may consider me a leopard print-a-holic! Whenever I see an item in that print it’s very hard for me to pass it up. When I received this leopard print sleeveless top from Evans I was so excited because out of all the leopard print tops I own, I don’t have one in the form of a shirt. As I was thinking about which three ways to wear this top I wanted to make sure that I was staying true to my everyday life.
Sometimes as a blogger you want to get extra creative and sometimes certain looks are not realistic to wear everyday on the streets. After I thought about the myriad of ways to wear this top I came up with these three looks that represented the three areas of my life that I need to always look great!
Look 1: A day at the office
The first look is my ‘at the office look’. I try to make an effort to look young and sophisticated in a sea of bland business suits like I see on other women. This leopard print shirt was a perfect pairing with my pencil skirt. I think it has a sophisticated edge.
Look 2: Lunch with friends
The second look is what I would call my casual daytime look, perfect for meeting friends for lunch. I also like the long and lean look that the tunic gives with my white fitted jeans. It’s like I grew 2 inches taller!
Look 3: Time to party
For my third look, I wanted to show you how I would wear this shirt for a night out with the girls! Pairing the shirt with these shorts allowed me to show off an understated chic look.

Here are our top three ways to work evans new jeans. What’s your favourite?
The Wide Leg
Wide leg jeans look elegant and stylish with red pleat sleeve pocket top, a rose shaped corsage, tan rouched platform sandals and an orange oval stone ring
The Boy Fit
You can be feminine yet understated in rip and repair boy fit jeans and a cute camel pintuck t-shirt. Wear with strappy brown espadrille wedge, a floral clutch bag and a ring.

Crop jeans are so versatile, they go with everything. For a smart weekend look, wear them with a floral shell top, gold loop and weave sandals a summer cross body bag and a gold leaf stretch bracelet.
