It’s a fact that the style set favors distinctive fashion choices to keep winter dressing interesting (read: bold outerwear, unique jewels, unexpected hues). While bundling up is a necessity for many, we’re zeroing in on a few standout pieces that will make requisite layering feel a bit less monotonous. We tapped Net-a-Porter’s vice president of global buying Sarah Rutson to share her picks for the holiday season’s best dress, shoe and bag. These items will surely jump to the top of your shopping list—but hurry, they’ll unquestionably sell out.

Style Tip: For an everyday spin, layer a fitted turtleneck and tights underneath. A polished ankle boot completes the look. Then go elegant for the party circuit with a festive heel and statement earring.

"I love the Sarah Jessica Parker Carrie flat that Net-a-Porter has exclusively this season. I have so many high heels, but I can run around town on the weekend in a pair of satin flats and jeans, and keep them on for a night of dancing without having my feet feel the pain."

Style Tip: Metallics are cool paired with casual denim and knits for day. In the evening, they're a cheerful addition to a party dress or elevated separates.

"Simon Miller's Bonsai mini leather tote is perfect for holiday parties. It holds so much considering its size, and metal hardware is an important trend this season and for spring."
