I'm 55 & a Former Nordstrom Buyer—These 6 Items Will Make or Break a Good Closet

Former Nordstrom buyer and 55-year-old stylist, Susie Wright, is a breadth of sartorial knowledge. After all, her fashion résumé speaks volumes. She also does happen to fall in that over-50 bracket. And while age has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, her more experienced style point of view is always quite intriguing. Recently she shared a few particularly noteworthy tips on her blog, So Susie. Basically, she offered up the specific wardrobe staples she thinks could be worth considering. Of course, everyone’s style is different and personal, but there’s a curation of six items she thinks could make or break a good closet. "Having a solid wardrobe foundation not only makes getting dressed easy and effortless, but also helps you be prepared for any occasion,” she said. “Everyone’s essentials are different, but as a stylist, I know which ones to recommend.”

In essence, it’s these items that are front-runners given their easy-to-style nature. They're all highly versatile and could mix and match with a range of basics and trendier pieces to create those well-balanced looks. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the items that could be worth adding to your rotation to create that top-notch wardrobe. You’ll also uncover previous inspiration imagery as well as shopping recommendations as well.

"You really only need three jeans in your closet— black, faded blue, and a gray wash. They must fit perfectly (not too loose and not too tight) and be the correct length." — Wright
"Invest in white, black and gray—these are all you really need. The one I’m wearing by ATM is a favorite."
"My philosophy on jackets and coats? Go for a classic like a trench. It can complete every single outfit you own."
"The thing about neutral colored shoes is they really do go with everything. The key is to find a tone that’s close to your skin color so you can wear them with jeans, skirts, dresses ... you name it!" 
"All black is always elevated! You don’t even need to spend a lot. Add a great shoe and a fun bag to feel put together and look sophisticated."
"We often overlook accessories, but they’re truly the most important elements of your outfit. Any one of these will pull your outfit together: sunglasses add a little glamour, your favorite jewelry personalizes your look, and a great crossbody bag completes it all. It’s these finishing touches that take your wardrobe to the next level." 

Next, check out more items Wright believes can help make the perfect outfit.

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 .

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...
