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.'

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.'

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
