I'm 55 & a Former Nordstrom Buyer—I Always Rely On These 7 Easy Outfit Formulas

We routinely turn to Susie Wright for effortless style inspiration. After all, she has quite the heightened sartorial sensibilities with a résumé that includes a job as a former Nordstrom buyer as well as current roles as a stylist and blogger for her popular site, So Susie. Wright is also 55, and while age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, her fashion viewpoint over 50 is definitely intriguing given her experience with style trial and error over the years. With that in mind, we thought there could be interest in uncovering the outfit formulas Wright has always relied on given their inherently chic and easy nature.

Here, we’re talking about those chic denim looks involving just a few pieces, simple dress vibes for transitional weather, sophisticated blazer 'fits, and so on. Into it? Keep scrolling to check out seven outfit ideas Wright thinks are top-notch, complete with a bit of visual inspiration. Oh, and if you’re shopping at the moment, you’ll also find product recommendations on how to master each look as well.

"This is probably the most-worn combo in my closet. I love it because it’s polished and stylish and especially good for client meetings (even if over Zoom)." — Wright 
"Lately I’ve been wearing printed summer skirts, and they work with any shoes, from sandals to sneakers. And they’re a nice departure from denim from time to time." — Wright
"So comfy and perfect for summer. I’ve been wearing joggers with flip-flops on hotter days, and it doesn’t look like I just came from the gym!" — Wright
"This combo is super comfy, and of course, these Veja sneakers are perfect with most anything. Z Supply makes the best dresses!" — Wright
"This shirt style dress always gets compliments! The white bag is a nice touch. Plus, it goes with literally everything." — Wright 
"I always feel taller when wearing flares, especially with mules. This sweater jacket is a staple and works any time of year." — Wright
"A simple black dress always works. I’ve been wearing this lately with sandals and a straw bag. It’s casual, but you’ll feel put-together!" — Wright

Next, check out the basics Wright swears by.

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...
