I'm a Former Nordstrom Buyer—My Closet Wouldn't Be the Same Without These Basics

We get in touch with Susie Wright on the regular for top-notch shopping inspiration. She certainly knows her stuff, as she has a fashion résumé that includes work as a stylist and as a former Nordstrom buyer. On that note, she once shared with us a few basics she thinks are worthy investments because they work for everyone. Well, we wanted to continue that conversation on wardrobe staples. This time around, we tapped her for insights into the fresh and fashion-forward basics she's wearing on repeat at the moment.

In fact, Wright actually mentioned that her closet wouldn't be the same without these elevated basics that have a little something extra. The items included in the curation are all versatile, and as a result, she styles them in many different ways to create her standout looks.

Below, you'll find Wright's go-to list of next-level basics along with outfit references and inspired product recommendations.

"A good trench says 'fall,' and wearing it with distressed denim gives it a more relaxed vibe. Try an oversize style with a hoodie, sweatpants, and cool sneakers."
"I'm pretty much only wearing two styles—either flares or slimmer straight-leg jeans. A lighter wash is always in style, but look for a dark, rigid style. It's the wash to add for fall."
"I'm serious. If it's faux leather—pants, blazers, dresses—I'm obsessed. From Zara to Nanushka, there are options for everyone."
"I have my eye on the New Balance 327 trainers, but any retro style will work. Classic sneakers are making a comeback for sure! Stylish but practical, they can even replace your boots right now."
"You should never be without a black blazer, and a slightly oversize style is everywhere. Wear it to a meeting, over a dress, or with denim and sneakers on the weekend, and you'll always feel put-together."
"A printed top is a fashion-girl favorite right now, and it's an elevated piece you'll wear from coffee to cocktails to everything in between!"
"Pretty much everyone needs a great moto jacket. Black is the obvious choice, but adding a color gives you more outfit options, too. I especially love them over dresses—so chic and works any time of year."

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...
