Evans Store Style Spotlight: Evans Darlington
We know you love the great style and shape advisors we have in our stores, so we’ve decided to share their style and shape advice. The Evans store advisors are always on hand to offer style advice, free fitting services and shape advice, so to make sure all our customers benefit from their fantastic knowledge and advice we decided to start ‘Evans Store Style Spotlight’.
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 next installment of ‘Evans Store Style Spotlight’ we’ve gone to the newly re-opened Evans Darlington store to chat to Angela Iceton.
Name: Angela Iceton
Age: 55
Dress size: 16
Evans Store Location: Darlington
Role: Sales Advisor
How would you describe your style?
I would say smart casual. I don’t follow any trend’s in particular. I dress to suit my body shape, and what I feel confident in.
Would you say you are a confident dresser?
Yes - I know what suit’s my shape and which fabric’s flatter.
What body shape are you and how do you dress for your shape?
I’m an Apple. I wear top’s with a v neck to draw the eye’s up. Flat fronted trousers are great so there are no pleat’s over the tummy area. As always, good fitting underwear.
Who are your style icons? Why?
Gok Wan as he uses body shape to achieve the best look. He show’s how wearing correctly fitted lingerie can make all the difference to an outfit, and how to be confident when choosing clothes.
Where do you find style inspiration?
Magazines & TV mainly. I read Grazia and I watch Gok Wan’s How to Look Good Naked.
Are you more of a trip to the high street or shop on line at home girl?
Definitely high street - Evans, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis. I prefer to try clothes on and feel the fabric.
Do you follow any magazines or blogs?
Grazia - It has fashion item’s in for the mature lady.
If you could give one piece of style advice to women, what would it be?
DRESS TO SUIT YOUR BODY SHAPE!
What is your favorite fashion piece?
Denim Jeggings are my favourite. Being an apple shape I’ve got slim legs, so the jeggings show this and are comfortable to wear.
Are there any beauty secrets you can share with us?
Drink plenty of water for a clear complexion
What is your must have item from Evans this season?
The Black Biker Jacket I’m wearing today. You can dress it up with smart trousers, blouse and heels, or for casual look t-shirt, jeans and pumps.
What is your role at Evans?
I’ve been with the company for 5 years as a Sales Advisor.
What do you like about working at Evans?
The friendly atmosphere, good team spirit and sense of achievement when helping one to one with customers.
The Darlington store was recently reopened by the Mayor, who is a regular customer at the store.

How to wear Evans Maxi Skirts
One trend that won’t go away is the maxi. Either as a dress or a skirt, the maxi length will be with us again for spring and summer. While some people love the maxi skirt, some aren’t sure how to wear it or if it will suit their shape or height. We think a plus size maxi skirt can work on all body shapes and heights. Here are a few outfit ideas of how to pull off the maxi this spring.
Black Pleated Jersey Maxi Skirt
Teamed with casual jersey pieces, like this slub t-shirt, you can create a cool and casual look. Add a classic denim jacket and casual slip-on shoes, and this look is comfortable and stylish. Perfect for the school run, a shopping trip or lunch out with friends.
Grey Pleated Jersey Maxi Skirt
Silver Jewel Detail Wedge Sandals
For a slightly less casual, but still as stylish, take on the maxi skirt, why not teams with a light-weight floral shirt and pretty sandals. The shirt can be tucked in to add definition to the waist, perfect for hourglass, pear or busty shapes, and worn loose, will skim over tummys, making it work for apples too. The silver sandals add some glitz and floral accessories add to the fresh, spring feel of the look.

Valentines day has got us in the mood for updating our lingerie drawers.

So to make sure you love what you see when you look at your lingerie, there’s currently 20% off all plus size lingerie at Evans.
We know dressing for your shape is very important to you when you’re shopping with us, and the golden rule about dressing for your shape, whatever your shape, is good underwear. 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.
