This is what my favourite fashion influencers are buying for party season
With party season around the corner, you'll never go wrong with a little black dress, or some cute party shoes, however sometimes it's worth going off the beaten sartorial track and invest in something a little different. And who better to tell us than fashion influencers who are always au fait with cool new brands and trends?
Kim Turkington aka Love Cloth Blog
'For something a little different, I love a pair of leather trousers for party season. & Other Stories have an amazing collection this year.'

Erna Leon Stokes aka MERCER7
'When it comes to party season, I got a bit of a weakness for sequins and shimmer. I have recently invested in an Isabel Marant metallic suit which I am planning on wearing as a co-ord for nights out, and as separates for daytime looks by styling the trousers with a simple black jumper to make it more versatile.

Hannah Crosskey
'I’ve actually got my eye on this organza blouse at the moment (it’s super affordable!) I don’t really have separate day to night pieces so I think this’ll go with a lot in my current wardrobe. Imagine paired with a satin skirt and chunky boots, a pair of white wide leg trousers and heels or a blue wash straight leg jean and mules.'
Shop now: Organza Blouse With Bow Detail for £29 from Topshop
Alexis Foreman
'I would love this dress because I’ve acquired an Arket black satin dress the last two party seasons in a row and now BITE studios have this beautiful dress for this season, and as I still love the look, I think it would be a great investment. Perfect for days when I have events during the day - oversized knitwear thrown over the top with some chunky boots, and then for the evening on its own with a red lip.'
Shop now: BITE STUDIOS Organic silk-satin midi dress for £790 from NET-A-PORTER
