A 56-Year-Old Former Nordstrom Buyer Knows These 7 Basics Work for Everyone
We routinely look to women over 50 for expert sartorial advice. After all, this set is often particularly experienced in curating well-rounded wardrobes after years of style trial and error. One, in particular, we follow for such fashion inspiration is 56-year-old influencer Susie Wright.
Wright worked as a buyer at Nordstrom for a decade and became a Portland-based personal stylist 12 years ago. She's also been working on her blog, So Susie, for the last few years. So it’s safe to say that Wright just gets it. Given her retail knowledge and expertise in helping people look and feel their best, we thought we'd tap her for insight on the specific items she routinely recommends (and wears herself). And because many of us rely on basics to build our signature wardrobes, Wright provided her edit of staple items she thinks work for everyone.
So without further ado, keep scrolling to check out the seven basics that this former Nordstrom buyer swears by for a chic wardrobe. You can also shop the staples below.
"Here's the trick to a white shirt: It needs to have a little interest to it. For example, this J.Crew popover style is a bit oversize, which makes it more appealing than your simple white shirt. No matter the twist, this classic will always be a good investment.""If you want to get your denim up to date, a slim, straight-leg jean is the style to buy. High-rise with a slimmer leg, these just look great. I've sold hundreds of pairs of the Mother Dazzler to all ages.""I put one of these in every dressing room, and it almost always leaves with the client! This specific Madewell version has a slightly relaxed silhouette and is a touch longer than in previous years, making it perfect to layer over your favorite blouse or sweater.""Joggers are comfy, stylish, and great for working from home—the perfect 'everything' piece. This might be the item I've gotten the most DMs about. The number one comment is 'OMG, why did I wait so long to buy these?' These joggers I'm wearing are made from performance fabric, but I only wear mine as streetwear and loungewear.""A good blazer is the defining piece of every outfit. Blazers are stylish, easy, elevated, and worth every penny because they can be worn year-round. Whether you hop on the leather trend or try an oversize style, this is a key piece for everyone's wardrobe.""A cardi looks good over everything. The Juliette by J.Crew is a favorite. It's actually a cross between a cardigan and a jacket.""I'm officially declaring the cami to be the one and only layering piece you need for every outfit you own! If you have a jacket, a cardigan, or a blazer sitting in your closet, the cami is the perfect basic to go under it. This simple little number has staying power because it works all year round, thereby making it the ultimate wardrobe staple."

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...

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...
