We like to reach out to Susie Wright on a regular basis for sartorial guidance. After all, her fashion experience is next-level with her work as a stylist, a blogger with So Susie, and a former Nordstrom buyer. Recently, Wright decided to share current pieces that she considers to be the "secret sauce" in her wardrobe. Essentially, these are the items that Wright wears on the regular because they're instrumental in helping to create some of her most complimented looks.
Below, you'll uncover the eight essentials that are crucial to Wright's chicest ensembles. You'll notice that all of the picks are highly versatile and can easily be styled with many different pieces. As a preview, there's everything from chic flared trousers to transitional outerwear coming your way.
Keep scrolling for styling inspiration from Wright and product recommendations if you, too, want to mix one of the items into your own rotation.
1. Flared Trousers
On Wright: Veronica Beard blazer and trousers
"I love having a non-jean option to wear with all my tops, and these flared trousers are so flattering and leg-lengthening. … I feel so tall!"
2. Utility Jacket
On Wright: Anine Bing jacket; Mother jeans; Marc Fisher sandals
"This is a wardrobe basic that works for pretty much everyone. I'm going to be wearing my utility jacket all spring long with strappy sandals for a night out and sneakers on the weekend."
3. Sharp Blazer
On Wright: L'Agence blazer; Mother jeans
"Blazers are really trending right now. That go-to style takes your whole outfit up a notch."
4. Straight-Leg Jeans
On Wright: Madewell jacket; Fidelity jeans; Stuart Weitzman shoes
"I've pretty much scooted my skinnies off to the side, and now, I'll be wearing slim straight-leg styles (or wide-leg flares) all season long!"
5. Printed Dress
On Wright: Rhode dress; Gucci bag; Saint Laurent sandals
"When spring rolls around and warmer weather arrives, pretty dresses are my favorite thing to wear. They're easy, the options are endless, and you always look good."
6. Strappy Sandals
On Wright: Fidelity jacket; Zara sandals
"Talk about shoes that look great with absolutely everything. Strappy sandals are chic and up your game no matter what you're wearing."
7. Non-Black Bag
On Wright: Rag & Bone blazer; Frame jeans; Mansur Gavriel bag
"Adding a bag that isn't black to your wardrobe is a great idea! It adds a pop of color to all your outfits, and it's the secret to a more interesting look."
8. Layerable Jewelry
On Wright: J.Crew sweater; Tom Wood rings; Bony Levy earrings
"I recently gave my jewelry collection an update by adding a dome ring and a chain necklace. For a chic look, stack your necklaces, bracelets, and rings—the more the merrier."
