Under the harsh light of day? They can look glaringly out of place. To that effect, we sought out accessories (with the help of our favorite style-savvy stars) that can carry you from the office to happy hour, from dawn to dusk. Basically, these practical-but-pretty add-ons work around the clock. Each is special in its own right, but not overwhelmingly so. Shop the 35 Best Ankle Boots (At Every Heel Height) Take Jamie Chung, for instance. She shows us that a roomy pouch is spacious enough for daytime essentials, but compact enough for an evening out. One sprinkled in leopard spots makes a fierce statement, but is neutral enough to complement any outfit. From edgy pearl earrings to darling miniature structured bags, take a look and shop the hardest working accessories around.

Look for one in leopard print-it still makes a fierce statement, but has evolved into a neutral pattern that works with any outfit. 02 of 35 Leopard-Print Clutch Courtesy Clare Vivier, $198; clarev.com 03 of 35 Leopard-Print Clutch Courtesy Joie, $288; joie.com 04 of 35 Leopard-Print Clutch Courtesy Oliveve, $135; shopbop.com 05 of 35 Leopard-Print Clutch Courtesy DVF, $268; dvf.com 06 of 35 Chunky Ankle-Strap Flats Stefanie Keenan/WireImage; Tony DiMaio/startraksphoto Flats are often looked upon as a.m. attire, but chic ones can bring you from the office to happy hour. Try a pair with an ankle strap-the cuffed detailing has been a favorite among celebrities for multiple seasons now, including Rashida Jones, who went with a chunkier band. 07 of 35 Ankle-Strap Flats Courtesy Joe's, $110; nordstrom.com 08 of 35 Ankle-Strap Flats Courtesy Report Signature, $80; piperlime.com 09 of 35 Ankle-Strap Flats Courtesy Saint Laurent, $895; net-a-porter.com 10 of 35 Ankle-Strap Flats Courtesy 10 Crosby Derek Lam, $296; bloomingdales.com 11 of 35 Sleek Backpacks Raymond Hall/GC Images; Christopher Peterson/Splash News Backpacks have come a long way since elementary school! The modern-day, upscale versions are incredibly chic, super versatile, and can hold all your essentials. Jessica Alba slung her Reece Hudson backpack over one shoulder during the day and toted it again for a much more formal occasion. 12 of 35 Sleek Backpacks Courtesy Asos, $105; asos.com 13 of 35 Sleek Backpacks Courtesy Topshop, $130; topshop.com 14 of 35 Sleek Backpacks Courtesy Meli Melo, $895; shopbop.com 15 of 35 Sleek Backpacks Courtesy Mansur Gavriel, $745; mansurgavriel.com 16 of 35 Metallic Strappy Heels Elisabetta A. Villa/WireImage; Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images for Miu Miu Delicate high-shine straps in gold, rose gold, or silver bring just the right blend of refined elegance and attention-stealing bling to both casual and dressier looks. Case in point: Kirsten Dunst who wore hers with a floral frock and a sexy red-hot shift. 17 of 35 Metallic Strappy Heels Courtesy Miu Miu, $750; saksfifthavenue.com 18 of 35 Metallic Strappy Heels Courtesy Zara, $100; zara.com 19 of 35 Metallic Strappy Heels Courtesy Loeffler Randall, $295; loefflerrandall.com 20 of 35 Metallic Strappy Heels Courtesy Shoemint, $60; shoemint.com 21 of 35 Unique Pearl Earrings AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee; Brad Barket/Invision/AP Pearls have been given a contemporary spin, thanks to cool jewelry pieces, like Dior's popular "Mise en Dior Tribal" duo-ended earrings, as seen on Rihanna. Formerly reserved for upscale events, these modern pearls now work for any occasion, casual or otherwise. 22 of 35 Unique Pearl Earrings Courtesy BaubleBar, $28; baublebar.com 23 of 35 Unique Pearl Earrings Courtesy Ariel Gordon for Shopbop, $285; shopbop.com 24 of 35 Unique Pearl Earrings Courtesy Veronika Borchers for Pearl Collective, $150; pearlcollective.com 25 of 35 Unique Pearl Earrings Courtesy Rue Gembon, $50; ruegembon.com 26 of 35 Mini Ladylike Bags AKM-GSI; Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images Scaled down to clutch-size, itsy-bitsy bags are considered an alternative to minaudieres. What we're loving: ladylike top-handle boxed bags, like Alexa Chung's, that are equally adorable and sophisticated. 27 of 35 Mini Ladylike Bags Courtesy Sophie Hulme, $675; shopbop.com 28 of 35 Mini Ladylike Bags Courtesy Alice + Olivia, $295; aliceandolivia.com 29 of 35 Mini Ladylike Bags Courtesy Furla, $398; furla.com 30 of 35 Mini Ladylike Bags Courtesy Zara, $90; zara.com 31 of 35 Lace-Up Booties Michael Simon/startraksphoto; Jennifer Graylock/Getty Images for Swarovski Unlike other ankle boots, lace-ups offer a touch of something special. They're functional, yet unexpectedly sexy. And they work with any look at all hours of the day. Olivia Palermo went with a yellow metallic one, but any color, from basic black to maroon, will do. 32 of 35 Lace-up Booties Courtesy Nine West, $119; ninewest.com 33 of 35 Lace-up Booties Courtesy Pour la Victoire, $275; nordstrom.com 34 of 35 Lace-up Booties Courtesy Sophia Webster, $720; neimanmarcus.com 35 of 35 Lace-up Booties Courtesy Aquazzura, $595; forwardforward.com
