A day at the races is a pretty big event in the summer calendar not least because working out your race day outfit is very exciting. There’s nothing quite like knowing you can adorn yourself in head-to-toe glamour without looking too overdressed. So, what options should you be considering for this momentous of fashion occasions?

Nothing speaks classic femininity quite like a dress. Floor-sweeping maxi dresses are a great start but make sure they come in a statement print to give them that wow factor. Bold florals work everytime!

A ‘50s-inspired prom dress is a flattering pick, like the two prom dresses modelled by our lovely Evans fit model, will really make the most of your curves. If you do go for one of the nipped-in waist styles then partner it with a bolero cardigan or jacket. They’re great for keeping warm and giving a stylish bit of coverage.

For ultra sophistication and style appeal, then a dress from our Clements Ribeiro Swan collection is a fabulous choice. Defined by quirky, conversational prints the dresses are designed exclusively for the fuller figured female. You’re bound to feel a million dollars wearing one of these luxurious pieces.

If you’re going to be out and about all day then getting your accessories right is a must. A bag that’s big enough for all your essentials but not too cumbersome when you’re walking through the crowds is important. And so is a pair of ladylike and comfortable shoes. Fortunately heels and flats work well on this most special of occasions.

Now you’ve picked your perfect outfit, let’s hope you can pick a winner!

For 1 week only, you can get up to 50% online and in-store at Evans. Today is the start of our sale, so be first in line and get this seasons styles and trends for less and revamp your spring/summer wardrobe with our sale must-haves.

Age: 24
Dress size: 18
Evans Store Location: Metrocentre, Gateshead
Role: Sales Assistant/Shape Expert!

How would you describe your style?
Trendy but individual, I buy what I like not necessarily what is in fashion.

Would you say you are a confident dresser?
Yes, definitely. Even though I am a plus size I love wearing vibrant colours and prints!

What body shape are you and how do you dress for your shape?
I am a PEAR shape, so I tend to choose clothing that will disguise my curvier hips and thighs but will also show off my smaller waist.

Who are your style icons? Why?
I like a lot of vintage fashion, but wouldn’t say I had one particular icon. I like to try to incorporate aspects of these looks into everyday fashion.

Where do you find your style inspiration?
I find inspiration from high street stores and also vintage fashion eras like the 1920′s.

Are you more of a trip to the high street or a shop online at home girl?
When it comes to buying clothes I prefer to go to the high street to see the clothes for real an try them on. However, I do buy a lot of accessories online, and find that internet sites provide a more eclectic choice.

Do you follow any magazines or blogs?
I prefer not to be told what to wear and favour looking at what the high street have on offer and picking items that flatter my body shape and suit my personality.

If you could give ones piece of style advice to women, what would it be?
I would advise them to go into an Evans store and find out their shape and start shopping for it, it really does make a difference to your wardrobe and confidence.

What is your favourite fashion piece?
At the minute I am really into fur collars which really jazz up jackets and shirts.

Are there any beauty secrets you can share with us?
Always remove your make up before bed and cleanse, keeps your skin blemish free.

What is your must have item from Evans this season?
I really love my love heart Clements Ribeiro blouse, it’s so easy to wear and looks great with a pair of skinny jeans.

What is your role at Evans?
My role at Evans is delivering great style advice and unique customer service.

What do you like about working at Evans?
Being able to help customers feel and look great!

What do you think about Evans doing a plus size designer collaboration with Clements Ribeiro?
A really good thing  -  It’s getting more designers involved with the plus size market.

What is your favourite piece from the Clements Ribeiro foe Evans ‘Swan Collection’?
The red ‘Joan’ dress with embellished shoulders, a classic piece.

How have your customers reacted to the Clements Ribeiro for Evans ‘Swan Collection’?
Really well! They really love the bold prints and styles  -  there’s nothing else like it on the high street!

So if you want to know more, you can go and see Laura at our Metrocentre Gateshead store, where she’ll be happy to advise you on all things shape and style  -  she’d love to meet you. Click here for more shape advice at Evans.co.uk.

Finding a pair of jeans that fit like a glove, look great and give you confidence is at the top of everyone’s wardrobe wishlist. We know how tricky it can be to find a pair you love and which loves your shape too, so we want to make sure you have lots of choice when it comes to finding your perfect pair.

Whether you like elegant straight cut, which will work for work and play, the always-flattering bootcut, a classic that works for daytime chic, or our new cut to fit range of jeans, especially made to fit and flatter pear shapes, we’ve got the jeans for you at Evans.co.uk.

Bootcut jeans work well on all body shapes to balance your shape and can be dressed up or dressed down. Straight leg jeans can help to accentuate the lower half on apple or busty shapes, and will elongate your whole look, but all body shapes can wear either style with the correct styling and fit.

Our new Pear Cut jeans take the difficulty out of buying jeans for a pear shape, as the smaller and higher cut waist will sit perfectly and make even mean you drop a dress size. Many pear shapes think that trousers and jeans won’t work or fit their shape, but these jeans will make you change your mind, so take a chance and try jeans that will work for you.

There’s currently also a special offer on certain jeans, where you can get two pairs of jeans for a bargain £35.

What’s your favourite style of jeans?

We all want our wardrobes to work a little harder, so we’re bringing you 4 ways to wear one key piece. This week we’re looking how to style the maxi dress. Here’s how to take one great dress and turn it into 4 different looks, for lots of occasions.

A key wardrobe staple, like a maxi dress, is so versatile and will become your new best friend and a hard working piece of your summer wardrobe. Change the look from day to night, bright and bold to muted and classic or smart to casual, with clever accessories, shoes and even your lingerie.

Look 1: Add a white bolero, wedge sandals and a statement cuff bracelet to create a stylish, day to night look. Perfect for the office or even the bar. Emphasis and define your cleavage with your lingerie for added oomph.

Look 2: Cinch in your waist with a thick belt and add sparkle and a cover up to make sure your maxi look party-ready. From a night in the pub to date night, this look will make you feel great.

Look 3: Go laid back and relaxed with casual, nude toned sandals and a comfy waterfall cardigan. This look would work just as well for the school run as it would for a family dinner out.

Look 4: Be bold and add a splash of colour to the tribal print maxi dress with coral jewellery and sandals. By teaming this with a white cardigan, this look just shouts ‘Spring’!

The debut Clements Ribeiro collection for Evans, ‘Swan‘, launched last week after creating a fantastic buzz in the plus size world and the fashion press. The innovative designer and high street collaboration was the first of it’s kind for plus size, and offered affordable designer pieces up to a size 32.

We were thrilled how people have responded to the collection, with the rich prints, vintage shapes, quality fabrics and attention to detail. But don’t just take our word for it. Here are the reviews from Evans customers who have tried and tested Clements Ribeiro for Evans.

Swan by Clement Ribeiro Purple Print ‘Diana' Top

Plum, Home
Lovely quality.Am more than happy to pay the slightly higher price for this range as the quality of the fabric justifies the price. Have had numerous compliments already on this top. I think the sizing is on the large side so maybe order one size smaller than usual.

Swan by Clements Ribeiro Printed ‘Joan' Midi Dress

Angelabdc, Glasgow

I knew that I wanted to try something from the Swan range and I really liked this dress though it is well outside my comfort zone of dark colours and tunic shapes. I am a size 22 hourglass shape and 5ft 4.The cut is fantastic: slightly high waist which gives me a great shape without constricting and the sleeves do not twist or pinch. It is a bit on the long side hitting about 4′ below my knees. I love this range and think its wonderful to have such a bold designer collaboration with Evans. Will order more from future collections.

Have you bought anything from the Clements Ribeiro for Evans collection? We’d love to hear your feedback too, so leave us a comment.

You’ve booked that longed-for holiday and now you need to think about your holiday wardrobe. Swimwear can be a tricky item to get right, and can be a daunting item to shop for, but help is here! By using our guide to what swimwear will work for your shape you can get your poolside chic look polished.

The key to great swimwear is structure and support. This will make you feel confident and comfortable on the beach or at the pool, whether you opt for a bikini, a swimsuit, a tankini or a swim dress. Once you’ve decide what shape you want, you can play with colour and print for a look you’ll really love. You can then add accessories and cover-ups, like kaftans and sarongs, by shopping in our holiday shop.

Perfect Swimwear for Apple

Apple shapes have a softer and fuller middle with slimmer legs and bottom. Tankini shapes will cover mid-sections and v-neck tops with wide straps will be flattering and supportive for the bust area. A swimsuit with shapewear built in will help to smooth and minimize your tummy area, giving you beach confidence.

Perfect Swimwear for Hourglass

Compliment a curvy bust and hip by showing your defined waist. Make a feature of your waist with gathers and an underwired cup to give you support. Like Apple, a swimsuit with shapewear built in will help to smooth and minimize your tummy area, defining your waist even more.

Perfect Swimwear for Pear

Pear shapes have curvaceous hips and bottom with smaller bust and shoulders. Draw the eye up with a print on your top half with plain bottoms. Or try something a little different and opt for a feminine swim dress. The skirt will skim hips and upper thighs to offer you ultimate coverage and confidence.

Perfect Swimwear for Busty

For Busty support is key and will really make a difference to your overall beach style. Opt for padded cups, underwired or a concealed shelf bra with wider straps. A v-neck will also work really well, so opt for a bikini, tankini or swimsuit that has a lower neckline.

Whether you need control and support or something that helps show off your shape, we aim to have something for you and whatever outfit you’d want to wear.

Most people like to shop for their lingerie in matching sets, with perfectly match bras and knickers, but other people prefer a mix and match approach, teaming a bra with either a full brief or a thong. Whatever your style or lingerie preferences, a good fit is the key. If you’re not confident that you’re wearing the right size, or want some helpful tips about what bra is best for which look or outfit, our lingerie size guide will help you get the best out of your lingerie.

The right shape top is also really important when shopping for a new top. Depending what body shape you are (don’t know what shape you are? Click here to find out) different styles and cuts may work better on you. Pear and apple shapes will love embellishment on the neckline or bust, as it draws the eye up to the neck and face. Busty and hourglass may prefer a top that is more fitted on the waist, perhaps with a tie back or a belt, to define and show the waist.

While we were all getting ready for spring, winter seems to have crept back up on us. Our dreams of spring colours and summer dresses might have to be put on hold for a bit longer, but we’ve got to admit that we’re enjoying wearing some of our favourite Evans winter warmers again.

Here are a few outfit suggestions for wrapping up and looking stylish when the temperature heads below freezing. We love cosy boots, longline layers, jeans and smart jackets worn with loose knit scarfs and fleecy gloves. And don’t be afraid of colour on a frosty day, a raspberry hue jumper will cheer you up. Even adding blusher for a rosy cheek or a bright coloured lipstick will get you feeling brighter during this cold snap.

Focusing on a team member from an Evans store we’ll find out all about them, their style secrets and the Evans store they work in. For our first installment of ‘Evans Store Style Spotlight’ we went to Evans Bluewater and Evans Lakeside stores, and now we’ve gone to Evans in Bhs Bristol to chat to Kelly Wheeler.

Name: Kelly Wheeler
Age: 19
Dress size: 14/16
Evans Store Location: Bristol BHS
Role: Sales Adviser

How would you describe your style:
Simple and stylish, I really love our new formal City Heat collection, with the teals and browns!

Would you say you are a confident dresser?
Before working at Evans I always wore the same thing, anything black! I played it safe all of the time and was never aware of my body shape. Since working for the company my confidence has grown and grown; not only do I know how to dress to suit my body shape I now know exactly how to show off my curves. Evan’s has helped me to do this through my body shape training and now I can advise others on a daily basis too.

What body shape are you and how do you dress for your shape?
I am an hourglass, I have equally curvy bust and hips with a defined waist. Fitted tops with a scoop or V-neck are prefect for hourglasses and a belt that clinches you in at the waist is a must!

Do you follow any magazines or blogs?
I enjoy reading ‘Harpers Bazaar’ and ‘Wonderland’ two excellent fashion magazines.

If you could give one piece of style advice to women, what would it be?
My advice would be when your shopping always try on one piece of clothing that you would not normally pick out. You are more often than not pleasantly surprised and it means you have a wider choice of clothes/ style.

What’s your favorite fashion piece?
Maxi dresses, last year we did some amazing designs. They’re easy to wear with a cardigan and sandals. I cant wait for our summer stock.

Are there any beauty secrets you can share with us?
I was once told that to get shiny hair after conditioning you run cold water on your hair for about 30 seconds. I have done it ever since.

What is your must-have item from Evans this season?
Our camel colored straight leg jeans are a must. They are a little quirky, yet a simple style that can be worn with many of our casual tops this season.

What is your role at Evans?
I am a sales adviser in the branch in Bristol Bhs. My role is to advise our customers on body shapes and what to wear (or avoid). It’s important that we are honest towards our customers.

What do you like about working at Evans?
I love the atmosphere where I work and we all work hard as a team. Evan’s is also full of opportunities which has given me confidence about myself and my style. As every customer is different, no day is ever the same.

If you want to know more, you can go and see Kelly at Evans in Bhs Bristol, where she’ll be happy to advise you on all things shape and style  -  she’d love to meet you. Click here for more shape advice at Evans.co.uk.

We all like to dress stylishly at the weekend, but we also like to enjoy our downtime and dress for comfort too. Whether you’ve got a shopping trip planned or lunch with friends and family, your weekend wardrobe needs to be flexible, fun and easy to wear.

Layering and accessories are key to a great weekend look, and help to dress up a weekend staple like jeans. These teal straight leg jeans add a splash of colour and mixed with grey tones and black accessories make it perfect for moving from cold winter months to spring. This outfit of snakeskin print blouse, draped grey cardigan and teal jeans is perfect for Apple and Busty shapes as the colour-pop jeans diverts attention from dominant areas and the open cardigan creates a vertical panel which will elongate and streamline your look.

Octavia Spencer looked serene and beautiful in a lavender Tadashi Shoji gown as she won the Best Supporting Actress award. The rouched capped sleeves, rouching over the bust and waist and low v neckline showcased Octavia’s shape and the Grecian column style with slight train streamlined this delicate yet eye catching look.

The dark green Badgley Mischka dress worn by Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy was complemented beautifully by gold detailing and accessories. The empire line shape and soft gathers on the sleeve and waist really fit and flatter Melissa’s shape and the column shape and large quiff hair style adds height.

Glee star Amber Riley looked red hot in her strapless Badgley Mischka dress. Amber breaks several busty shape style rules with the flamenco influenced dress. The frills and strapless shape could over emphasize a larger bust, but the gathering on one side of the hip draws the eye down, taking some of the interest away from the bust. Relaxed hair and minimal jewellery really makes outfit look fresh and elegant.

Dressing for the ever-changing weather and temperature is always a challenge during the transitional months of the year, and staying smart and stylish is an extra obstacle when layering for all occasions.

The best thing about this jacket is that it will work on all body shapes, Busty, Apple, Hourglass or Pear, and worn open will create a vertical line down the body to flatter every single curve and shape. This jacket will look fantastic with nautical style stripes and great denim, whether you team it with skinny, straight or bootcut jeans.

As soon as I put this dress on I fell in love. The fit is great, a good length  -  (I’m 5’7″) it goes almost to the floor, which is just how I like a maxi dress. I feel smart yet comfortable wearing it plus as it isn’t too heavy I can see me wearing it right through the year. Maybe a little on the pricey side but happy to pay it for such a great dress.

Where do you find style inspiration?
I like quirky styles and take inspiration from everywhere I go.

If you could give one piece of style advice to women, what would it be?
Underwear is key! If you have the right underwear then any woman of any size can look fabulous!

Lakeside

Dress Size: 16/18
Store : Lakeside
Role: Shape Advisor

Would you say you are a confident dresser?
I feel a lot more confident since joining Evans, trying new styles when they come into store has really helped me find my own style.

What body shape are you and how do you dress for your shape?
I’m an apple. I finds longer tunics that finish around my hips are much more flattering. I steer clear of anything that draws attention to my tummy, so waist belts are a big no no  for me.

Who are your style icons? Why?
I think Adele is a great example of showing size doesn’t affect how good you can look. I love that she has a classic stye, she has taken a era and made it all her own.

Are you more of a trip to the high street or shop online at home girl?
Always love a good spree on the highstreet. For me nothing beats that feeling of trying something on, feeling great in it and taking it home there and then.

Do you follow any magazines or blogs?
I do like a good read especially ‘Beautiful’ a great fashion magazine for real women. Obviously my favourite blog is Evans Fashion Fix, always great for fashion tips.

What is your must-have item from Evans this season?
The great new shapewear we have had in. I tell all my customers that any good outfit starts with great underwear.

What do you like about working at Evans?
I love the family atmosphere, when I started everyone was so friendly and helpful. I also love the customer interaction, it feels great when I’ve spent time helping someone find a outfit and they tell you how great you’ve made them feel and leave feeling happy and confident.

If you want to know more,  you can go and see Lynn at Evans Bluewater and Tracey at Evans Lakeside, where they’ll be happy to advise you on all things shape and style – they’d love to meet you. Or you can view our shape guides online at Evans.co.uk.

With only 36 days until Christmas, we think it’s about time we started to think about and plan our outfits for the festive season. Whether you need a knock-out dress for your work Christmas party, a beautiful and stylish outfit for Christmas lunch, or a gorgeous head-to-toe look for New Years Eve, we can help!

With Evans COLLECTION you get chic and contemporary key designs from a capsule collection that is designed to fit and flatter your shape. The elegant prints and premium pieces will get you ready for the party season. Here are the pieces we think will have you ready for any Christmas party, including the beautiful black faux fur belted coat (above), which will up the glamour and complement your Christmas outfit perfectly.

Evans Collection Rose Kimono - £55

If you’re after a fashionable piece which will give impact to even the simplest outfit, this rose print kimono is ideal. The silky jacket looks fantastic belted over a slim-fit dress or a simple top and great trousers. This kimono feels as luxurious as it looks, and is fantastic on all body shapes. If you’re not sure what shape you are, use the Evans Shape Calculator to find out.

Evans Collection Wide Leg Trousers - £45

If you’re more comfortable and confident in trousers than skirts and dresses, these ultra-wide leg trousers are a great alternative to skirts. With lots of volume and a floaty chiffon fabric, these grey trousers are incredibly flattering and feminine – perfect teamed with a simple black or jewel coloured top. These trousers will work especially well for Busty, Hourglass and Apple shapes. These wide leg trousers are also available in black.

Evans Collection Batwing Top - £45

This classic black batwing top with decorative silver belt is a simple but gorgeous alternative to a LBD (little black dress) if teamed with straight leg jeans or trousers. The shape and belt make this top an ideal fit for Pear and Hourglass shapes, as it creates volume around the shoulders and arms and the belt will draw attention to your waist, while balancing and streamlining your shape perfectly.

Evans Collection Rouch Dress - £55

If only a dress will do for your Christmas party, we love this terracotta rouch dress, with longline sleeves and an empire waist. Sitting just below the knee and with a v neck, this dress is ultra-flattering and perfect for a party. This dress will work especially well on Pear, Apple and Hourglass shapes.

Evans Collection Tuxedo Jacket - £60

A fitted tuxedo jacket is a wardrobe must-have, and goes with everything from jeans and a t-shirt to a glamorous evening dress. This fitted tuxedo jacket with satin turn-back lapels and jet pockets is very flattering on all body shapes and really takes your party look up in the style stakes.

Don’t forget, for today only, Evans cardholders can get 25% off all purchases made with their Evans card. And if you sign up for an Evans card today, you’ll get 15% off your first purchase. Click here for all the details.

Your winter coat is the most important part of your autumn/winter wardrobe. It’s the one item that you will wear the most and it’s the first thing people will see when you step out of the front door. This makes it even more important to not only get a coat that keeps you warm in the cold winter months, but a coat that looks great and flatters your shape.

Shopping for a plus size coat should start with your body shape and what features are going to make you look and feel fantastic. If you aren’t sure what body shape you are, pear, busty, hourglass or apple, then you can use the shape calculator on Evans.co.uk to find out. Once you know your shape, you can start shopping for styles, features and fabrics that will suit your shape.

Pear

Evans Red Duffle Coat - £55

This hooded red duffle coat is perfect for pear shapes, as the detail of the hood, toggles and the bright colour draws the eye up and helps to balance the silhouette. As pears are generally smaller around the shoulders and upper body, the detail on your coat should mainly be on the upper body to move focus from more dominant areas.

Busty

Evans Black Maxi Coat - £79.50

Busty shapes tend to have less prominent hips and bottoms, so a maxi coat is perfect to balance out a fuller, more dominant upper body, while showcasing a narrower waist. The single breasted style, v-neck and lapels will all flatter a busty or hourglass shape, and the volume on the maxi flare of the skirt will balance and streamline a busty shape.

Hourglass

Evans Camel Fit and Flare Long Coat - £75

With a defined waist and balanced hips and bust, hourglass shapes can wear most coat shapes, but fit and flare or belted shapes look especially flattering and streamline the figure. Focusing on the waist and creating a streamlined silhouette, key features to look for in a coat for an hourglass shape is a defined waist or belt, vertical lines created by darts or panelling (as seen above), single breasted design, lapels and a v-neck.

Apple

Evans Grey Textured Coat - £79.50

This coat is fantastic for apples, as the faux fur collar and wide turn-up cuffs will add balance to a softer tummy, and move the focus away from a dominant area. The main detailing or embellishment on clothing for apples should be above the bust or below the hips, so an A-line coat with minimal fastening details and lots of detail around the neck is ideal.

We were torn between the great party tops, gorgeous coloured jeans, glamorous knitwear and stylish coats, but we managed to narrow it down to 5 wardrobe must-haves.

Evans Red Straight Leg Jeans - £35

These red straight leg jeans have gone right to the top of our wishlist, as they’re stylish and fashionable without sacrificing comfort or fit. In a flattering and autumnal dark red, these jeans will slot in nicely with the rest of your wardrobe, while making a style statement.

Evans Black Fur Collar Wrap Coat - £75

This black fur collar wrap coat is pure glamour, and would look fantastic on pear and hourglass shapes, as it focuses on the waist and the collar draws the eye up and helps to balance and streamline the shape, especially for pears. Add some luxury to your winter wardrobe with this show-stopping coat.

Evans black floral print top - £35

If you’re still looking for a fantastic Christmas party top, this black and teal flower print top with chiffon sleeves might be exactly what you need to see you through the entire party season. With flattering, fluted sheer chiffon sleeves, a bold flower print and a long-line shape, this top is perfect for all body shapes; busty, apple, pear and hourglass.

Evans Black jewel foldable pumps - £25

You don’t often get style and practicality, but these black jewel foldable ballet pumps are just that. With pretty jewels on the toe, these ballet pumps are great to have in your bag for any time you need a break from heels, without having to compromise on glamour or style. These little gems would also make a fantastic present!

Evans black lace print tunic top - £37

Add a splash of drama with this beautiful red and black lace print tunic top that would look fantastic with leggings or tights and pretty party heels. The nipped in empire line waist and fluted sleeves will fit and flatter all body shapes, and make you feel party-ready.

We’re very happy to report that on Monday night Evans won the ‘Best Plus-Size’ award at the Company Fashion Awards 2011. We headed down to Shoreditch House for the awards, where staff from multiple high-street stores gathered to see who would win the coveted awards.

The awards were hosted by the lovely and bubbly Gemma Cairney, who looked gorgeous in a black prom dress. We also did some celeb spotting at the awards and bumped into singing superstar Pixie Lott and Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack.

But we didn’t just spot celebs, we did some style spotting on the night too. We loved what Amy Simon, a PR assistant, was wearing, especially her gorgeous sequin bolero jacket with those polka dots. Clashing prints and textures is a great look for Christmas parties, and the flared skirt and tunic in soft, floaty fabrics flatters Amy’s shape and make her look party-ready.

We would like to thank all the Evans fans who voted for us, we really appreciate.

With Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night this Saturday, we all want to look our best while wrapped up warm watching the fireworks and gathered around the bonfire. Here’s our guide on how to get the perfect Bonfire Night look, whether you’re out with girl friends, your partner or your whole family.

Layers and autumnal colours are key to this look. You want to stay wrapped up against the cold, but thick layers can be uncomfortable so try lots of thin layers instead.  A clever combination of a stylish top or shirt, a thin knit cardigan, sleek jeans, a cosy, longline coat, boots or fun wellies, and a colourful, bold scarf will make sure you’re toasty but look stylish, comfortable and confident.

Clever layering and dressing for your shape can also help you create a streamlined look to flatter your shape. The must-have item of your Bonfire Night look is your coat, so use this guide to help you find the perfect Evans plus size coat for your shape. A single breasted coat with detail above the bust and an open neck is best for Apples, while Hourglass and Busty figures will benefit from a coat with a nipped in waist or a belt to showcase the waist. Pears will look fantastic in a duffle coat which has detailing on the upper half, this will draw the eye up and balance the lower half. If you’re not sure what shape you are, use the Evans Shape Calculator and guides.

Evans Black Faux Fur Hooded Duffle Coat - £69.50 - Perfect for Pear

Now that we’ve got the coat sorted, we need a stylish top and a versatile piece of knitwear to layer up. Flowing, waterfall front cardigans worn open are flattering on all shapes, as they create a vertical line through your look. Hourglass and Busty shapes could also try a belted knit or a fitted fine knit for extra definition under the bust and on the waist.

Evans Red V Neck Pocket Top - £20 - Perfect for Busty and Hourglass

Jeans are a weekend wardrobe must-have, and they’re absolutely perfect for a night of fun in a field with fireworks and games. Skinny and straight legs jeans are great if you’re wearing them tucked into knee high boots, and really work for Apples and Busty shapes.

Evans Black Straight leg jeans - £22 - Perfect for Apple and Busty

Keep your feet warm and dry in stylish boots. We love ankle boots with bootleg jeans or knee high boots with skinny jeans tucked in (for the field, we’d recommend flat boots or wedges!). Statement boots will balance out Busty and Apple shapes and show off shapely legs, while boots in muted or dark colours will flatter all body shapes.

Evans brown studded ankle boots - £39.50 - perfect for Busty and Apple

To finish off your warm, Wintery look try a colourful scarf and hat. It’s a great way to add another layer and the scarf will create a vertical line that will streamline your entire look. We love this mink pink scarf and hat set and it’s perfect for all body shapes.

Evans Ladder Scarf And Beanie Hat Set - £18

We hope you enjoy Bonfire night tomorrow, and have fun whatever you’re doing or wearing this weekend!

P.s. Don’t forget you can enter our Size 14+ Model Competition at our Cardiff store this Saturday 5th November: 11am-3pm. For all the details, click here.

Would you say you are a confident dresser?

I’m getting more confident. I’ve always been taller and slightly bigger so I’ve not wanted to attract attention to myself, but as I’ve got older my confidence has matured. If I look in the mirror as I leave the house and I look good, then I’ve to believe that I do look good.

Who are your style icons? Why?

One of my best friends is a style icon for me as she just throws together outfits that I just wouldn’t even think of. When we go shopping she’ll pull things of the rack and tell me to try it on and I’ll look at it thinking, ‘I can’t wear that!’ but once I’ve got it on, I’m like, ‘Wow’. She has a very good eye for detail.

Where do you find style inspiration?

I like to look through magazines, you know, flick through at the doctors or dentist surgery. Obviously I know that not everything will suit me but I like to mix and match trends so I might pinch an idea for a top from somewhere then put it together with something myself. I also take inspiration from music videos too as they throw ideas out there that I would never think of.

Are you more of a trip to the high street or shop online at home girl?

I’m a shop online at home kinda girl! Otherwise I will go into a shop and get lots of different things that I’ve got to try on then take it home and may return and refund if necessary. At least if you’re at home you can try it on in the comfort of your own home. I can also mix it with my own clothes. If you’re on the high street and you try on a top that doesn’t go with the trousers you’re wearing then you have to decide, am I going to risk buying it? But if you’re at home you can you can try it on with a skirt, leggings, jeans, anything.

Do you follow any magazines or blogs?

A couple of my friends have just started writing fashion blogs which I’m keeping a close eye on because they are my friends but also because they are very up to date with fashion and what’s in style. Magazines, I don’t really buy. I do look through Vogue and Empire for the editorial spreads though.

If you could give one piece of style advice to women, what would it be?

Be comfortable. Don’t try and dress to impress someone else or because you saw an item on the TV or in a magazine. You need to look in the mirror before you leave the house and if you’re not comfortable then you’re not going to be confident which means you’ll be self-conscious so just be yourself.

What is your favourite fashion piece?

I have two. One is a white shirt dress. It’s quite casual with three quarter length sleeves that come down to full length and you can dress it up. I’ve worn it with pumps and leggings as a casual top but I’ve also put it with boots, tights and a belt and been able to wear it out of an evening. It’s a great piece to have the accessories in your bag and go from day to night with ease. The second piece is a pair of heels that I paid rather a lot for and I only wear on special occasions otherwise they sit in the box so I can admire how pretty they are.

Are there any beauty secrets you can share with us?

One rule that my mum told me, less is more! You should make a statement with either eye shadow, your lips or your complexion; not all at once as it can be too much.

What is your must-have item this winter?

I will definitely be buying an Evans duffle coat this year. I’ve wanted one for years but I’ve never found one that suited me. I either get it too short in the arms or it doesn’t fit on the body. I love the Evans camel duffle coat with the fur-trim hood.

What do you like about Evans?

I love Evans boots. Buying boots is so hard when you have any sort of calf muscle, so I love Evans’ wider fit. Whenever I need boots, Evans is always the place I go to first.

Last weekend Evans packed up and headed to Liverpool to continue our hunt for the next plus size supermodel with our Size 14+ Model Search 2011 and to take part in Liverpool Fashion Week.

On Thursday night we showcased our Evans Autumn/Winter collection at Liverpool Fashion Week, with 12 incredible plus size models strutting their stuff on the catwalk at chic Newzbar. The models were all ages, heights and sizes and showed perfectly styled and put together looks from Evans. Not to be outdone, the audience was also looking great with some very stylish people in attendance. The Evans black skater dress (above) was a big hit, and it’s easy to see why! To view all the pictures from the Liverpool Fashion Week and to shop the looks, head over to the Evans facebook page.

We were back in Liverpool city centre on Saturday when we had the Models1 scouts in-store at Evans, on hand to help us search for our size 14+ models. The turnout was fantastic, with so many beautiful plus size girls all competing to be crowned the new plus size model for each of Evans body shapes: Pear, Busty, Hourglass and Apple. Do you think we may have met a potential winner?

The model search moves to Gateshead Metro Centre this Saturday 29th October, so come and chat to our model scouts between 11am-3pm. If you can’t make it to store, why not enter online -  you never know, you could be one of our winners.

You know we like to spoil you, so we’re offering all Evans online customers the chance to shop the 30% Off Event a day early.

If you saw Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday, a certain singer probably caught your eye. Dutch singer Caro Emerald has been making waves in the UK with her 1950′s inspired ballroom jazz, cinematic tangos and grooving jazz tracks and on the Strictly Come Dancing Sunday results show, she performed her hit song ‘That Man’.

Not only do we love Caro’s amazing voice and songs, we can’t get enough of her 1950s inspired vintage look. Taking her inspiration from a decade that was all about fitting and flattering a woman’s shape, Caro tends to wear beautiful satin gowns, glamorous tea dresses and bold colours that celebrate her curves.

Wearing head to toe red for her Strictly Come Dancing appearance, Caro looked like a 50s Hollywood pinup. Caro is a true hourglass shape (equally curvy bust and hips with a defined waist) and knows exactly what suits her. The gorgeous red dress focused on her defined waist and bust, with pretty embellishment and ruching, and the gathered sleeves added balance to the full skirt. The vintage inspired gloves and fascinator totally finish this cool 50s look off.

Get Caro’s vintage inspired look with these knock-out dresses, shoes and accessories. From retro red lace to patterned tea dresses, these vintage inspired dresses and tunics are perfect for any parties you might have coming up.

Ice Blossom Lace Insert Dress - £45

Evans Red Diamante Bow Kitten Heel Shoes - £29.50

Evans red v neck cross front tunic top - £29.50

Black Flower Corsage -£8.50

Evans leaf print jersey dress - £45

Hello! It’s Kellie B from Fatshion Insider. Autumn is fast approaching and although the weather is changing, you don’t have to pack away all of your favourite summer pieces just yet. As far as I’m concerned, the best thing about autumn is being able to layer fabulous pieces in order to create a really cool pulled together look.   I love mixing and matching both textures and patterns so below are a few easy ways to take summer pieces into autumn.

Floral Summer Dress + A Little Leather = Perfect Autumn Outfit!

I chose these looks because I love mixing sweet feminine florals with leather and edgy shoes! Tie up boots were huge last autumn and are still a great way to add a little tough girl chic to an otherwise frilly outfit. And if you only buy one item for autumn, make it a leather jacket. An autumn wardrobe must!

Top Row (L-R) Jacket, Dress, Sandals

Bottom Row (L-R) Biker Jacket, Dress, Boots

Checks and stripes = Great for the weekend!

So here’s where things can get really fun. I’m obsessed with stripes and a great stripe tee-shirt can be worn a hundred different ways. The first look is a great weekend outfit layering the checked button down over the stripe tee and motor cycle jacket has a very easy LA look, I love it. The bandage skirt keeps looks great and the brown boots  –   just plain cool.

Top to Bottom: Biker Jacket, Stripe T-shirt, Check Shirt, Brown Boots, Black Skirt

When it comes to jewellery  -  just pile it on!

This one’s pretty easy  -  layer necklaces like these plastic link pieces in complementary colours then add one piece that’s different but adds interest like gold chains with a knot. When layering necklaces just remember they should all be different lengths so they sit nicely on top of each other. I do this all of the time and people will say ‘Oh I love your necklace’ and I usually respond ‘Thanks, I’m wearing 5!’.

Left to Right: Green Necklace, Gold Necklace, Red Necklace

Thanks for the great post, Kellie!

Evans Teal Floral Tunic With Scarf - £32

janieb, Plymouth

I absolutely LOVE this top. It looks fab with dark denim and fits like a glove. The size is true and the quality is fantastic. It washes really well too. I would absolutely recommend anyone to try this as it has this seasons colours all included in this stunning top. I am now looking for a nice plum scarf to add a new twist.

Evans black buckle riding boot - £89.50

rosfk, Falkirk
I bought these for work but have hardly had them off my feet at weekends too! Go really nicely with dresses and skirts as well as leggings and jeans (tucked in). I have very wide calves and feet but the EEE fitting is very comfortable, and because of the double elastic stretch panels, they zip up totally and aren’t uncomfortable at all. Buy these quickly before they sell out.

Evans Red Duffle Coat - £55 (with £10 off - coat promotion, usually £65)

Sophie, Bristol
Lovely coat, will keep you warm and the colour will brighten up even the most miserable winter days!

We’ve got exciting news – the Evans Summer Sale now has an extra 20% off everything. It’s the last chance to snap up a bargain from the Summer Sale, and we’ve chosen the top sale picks that will be a wardrobe staple from now all the way through Autumn/Winter.

Summer skirts and jeans will work just as well for Autumn/Winter for a stylish weekend look with knee high boots or ankle boots. Take on the 60s trend by wearing this long black maxi skirt with a pair of knee high boots and a roll neck jumper.

Floral print tops may seem summery, but they’re set to be a big Autumn/Winter trend and when dressed up with smart skirts and trousers they’re perfect for the office all year round. You can even go casual by layering them with cosy knits and leggings for a more relaxed, everyday look.

Neutrals are always a great sale item investment, as they’re guaranteed to go with almost everything in your wardrobe and they’re perfect for layering in those colder winter months. This neutral cardigan with pointelle stitch pattern would look just as good layered over a t-shirt or thin knit as it would slipped on over your favourite little black party dress (thanks to the added shine and shimmer of the lurex stripe detailing).

Shop everything in the sale here. The 20% extra discount will be applied at checkout.

Evans COLLECTION returns for Autumn Winter with chic and contemporary key designs. The capsule collection is designed to fit and flatter your shape, while the elegant prints and premium pieces will give your Autumn Winter wardrobe a style update!

From the beautiful faux fur black jacket (pictured above) to the sure-to-be-a-sell-out grey pleat dress (pictured below), every item from COLLECTION is a wardrobe staple that doesn’t just look great, it makes you feel great. From the luxe prints and fabrics, to the dramatic and luxurious palazzo trousers, to the elegant and softly draped kimono jackets, everything’s been designed for you and your shape.

Pleats, floral prints and maxi skirts were big news for Spring Summer, but it definitely looks like they’re here to stay in Autumn Winter! The cranberry coloured pleated maxi skirt ticks so many style boxes it’s hard to count them all, but best of all, the soft jersey fabric and elasticated waistband means that it’s almost as comfortable as it is stylish (almost!).

You can view the lookbook and shop COLLECTION on the site now, and it’s also available in the following Evans stores in the UK: Marble Arch, Meadow Hall, Bluewater, Lakeside, Trafford, Glasgow, Leeds Lands Lane, Bristol Cribbs Causeway, White City, Liverpool and Dublin.

What’s your favourite item from COLLECTION?

On tops, on dresses and on lingerie, purple is everywhere this season.

Below are our top five purple items. Notice how you can get dark and light shades depending on whether you want to make a bright entrance or mix it to with pale, romantic pinks and pastel shades.

Do you need a new cardigan or jumper for Autumn? Then look at what we’ve selected below:

1. Evans purple embellished top

The ultimate work to party top – the embellished neckline is stunning.

2. Evans purple v neck jersey top

This is cosy but chic thanks to the bright purple colour. Jersey tops have never been so bright and beautiful.

3. Evans purple half sleeve cardigan

If you have to cover up a pastel coloured top then a light purple cardigan will complement the colour underneath more than black, which can have a draining effect.

4. Evans purple waterfall cardigan

Layer up with a waterfall cardigan which is lightweight enough to fold up into a handbag if you go somewhere warm.

5. Evans embroidered bra

Start off any outfit in style by finding a great fitting bra to enhance your shape. This bra both looks and feels good thanks to the purple which flatters most skin tones.

There are boots for work, boots for play and boots to help you walk into a party with your head held high and feeling fabulous.

For the weekend, you need to look for boots with a low heel so you can run around town with comfort and ease. Knee high boots are good protection against Autumn showers and you’ll find a great selection of wide calf boots at Evans.

For work, there’s nothing like a smart suit to get you in the mood for business and you’ll find Evans ankle boots match the look perfectly.

Or if you’ve got a special occasion coming up then check out Evans range of sophisticated and stylish leather knee high boots. They’ll make your party outfit look a million dollars.

If you need some inspiration, we’ve rounded up some ways to wear our new Autumn boots below.

Take a look and let us know your favourite?

Weekend

Straps and buckles make boots more interesting this Autumn, both on knee high boots and ankle boots. Wear with indigo jeggings and a cosy brown jumper to feel snug and stylish this season.

Work

Ankle boots look lovely with flared trousers and a pretty blouse. They’re smart without being over the top so you look effortlessly elegant rather than as if you’re trying to impress.

Party

Transform a dress with some gorgeous boots that will give your look some 1960s style. By lengthening the legs, knee high boots slim the frame so you can dance the night away looking and feeling lovely.

We’re calling all you curvy girls to get your cameras out and tell your friends; our search for the UK’s next plus sized supermodel has started.

Here’s a round-up of five gorgeous new knitwear items at evans to give you some inspiration of what’s available.  Do you have a favourite?

(1)   Evans grey 2 in 1 cardigan saves you the effort of mixing and matching. It’s fresh and feminine and the pleat button detail at the front will draw attention to your cleavage. This is wool with the wow factor!

(2)   Evans grey fair isle dress can be worn for day or night. It looks gorgeous with knee high boots for smart casual  70s style

(3)   The camel pointelle cardigan will keep you warm without washing out your complexion. You always need a black jumper but it’s good to mix it with knitwear in a paler colour like this, which would suit Autumn browns and beiges.

(4)   Bright colours help us feel more energetic and positive and a bright pink or red cardigan looks lovely over a plain black dress or top. The pink tab cardigan falls to the mid-thigh so you can wrap it round you as a shield against the autumn and winter blues.

(5)   A roll neck jumper looks lovely with most things – you’ll get a lot of wear out of evans black roll neck jumper. It’s cut to fit your shape and the material is warm and soft and designed to last multiple washes. It’s an Autumn must-have!

Have a look at our top new styles below and tell us what you like most?

1.   Funnel Neck Coat

A funnel neck coat is super cosy as you can do up the buttons to the top to keep your neck warm. Available at evans in black or red, it looks super smart. And it’s flattering for pear-shapes as it flares out to slim the bottom and hips.

2.   Duffle Coat

A duffle coat is flattering for all body shapes as it falls to mid-thigh length, gliding over the stomach and bottom. You’ll feel warm and protected in the soft fabric and effortlessly stylish as all the colours it’s in are classic – red, black and camel.

3.   Belted Coat

If you want a coat that you can wear for smart or causal occasions then the black belted coat is so versatile. The belt cinches you in at the waist to slim your shape and the pockets are a treat to the eyes as well as your back as you can fill them up and leave a handbag at home.
