I'm in My 60s, and These Are the Basics I'm Shopping for at Nordstrom

Age clearly has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t buy. That said, we often turn to women in the over-40 bracket, in particular, for some of those especially primo shopping recommendations given their fashion expertise in building well-rounded wardrobes over the years. While we recently highlighted the going-out items and denim picks women over 40 are gravitating toward at the moment, we thought you’d be curious about the pieces this set is specifically shopping for at one of our (and probably your) go-to retailers: Nordstrom.

And to dive into the matter, I decided to tap my stylish 60-year-old mother to give insight into the basic trends she and her friends are currently on the hunt for at Nordstrom—the retailer she loves because “they have everything for anyone with any style.”

Curious about her shopping list? Keep scrolling to check out the closet essentials she's stocking up on, along with inspired shopping picks for each that could work for anyone at any age.

"I have a few regular cardigans but want to try one of the longer styles I see people wearing. I like the style because they seem 'fashiony,' but are also practical to keep warm."

"I'm still on the hunt for straight-leg jeans to wear in addition to my go-to skinny jeans. I know Nordstrom has a great denim department, so I often check the site first or go into my local store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for my jean purchases."

"I need a new LBD to wear for a few parties I have coming up. I have a standard sheath option but am interested in something different like a wrap pick."

"Okay, this may not be the most exciting purchase, but I actually need a few new white T-shirts to replace some dingy ones in my closet. I like to layer white tees with cardigans in the winter and wear on their own with jeans in the spring."

"I don't know if you'd consider snakeskin boots a 'basic,' but they seem like they can honestly kind of go with anything, so I'm curious about testing them out. But I'll admit I typically just go for standard black boots, so these will be a departure for me. But I'm ready."

"I think a camel coat can make a winter outfit feel really luxurious, so I'd like to see what Nordstrom has to offer in that department."

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
