By Allison Berlin and Sara DiMedio of “Le Curate” It’s the middle of December and the holiday hustle and bustle is in full swing. Every year it tends to be the same story. How can you master that look that will take you from after-work cocktails with friends, to the work holiday party, and maybe even the not-to-be-missed afterparty after that? Nobody wants to haul around those heels in their purse or risk wrinkling their perfect cocktail dress. Not to mention the time it takes to figure out the right look to wear for each of these festive get-togethers. That’s why we’ve put together the top five essentials you need to perfect your holiday look, without the hassle.

The Statement Clutch Le Petits Joueurs Grace Lego Statement clutches are having a moment right now, so it’s the perfect opportunity to infuse a little wit into your wardrobe.

The Over the Knee Boot Stuart Weitzman Highland Over the Knee Boot A suede over the knee boot is a true winter essential. You can wear them to funk up an ultra femme dress or simply pair them with denim and an oversized sweater.

The Understated Earring Lulu Frost Larkspur Drop Earring You don’t need to wear sequins from head to toe to make a holiday statement. Sometimes a little goes a long way. That’s why these earrings are the perfect addition to your look.

The Maxi Dress L'Agence Long V Neck Flutter Dress We love layering a maxi dress for winter—it’s totally unexpected and transitions beautifully into spring. Spending a little extra on an item that is versatile allows you to get your money’s worth. Being able to transition a piece from season to season is crucial.

The Moto Jacket Doma Leather Moto Jacket The moto jacket has come to feel like a wardrobe staple but feels surprisingly fresh in a rich jewel tone.
