I'm a Former Nordstrom Buyer—These Are the 7 Trends I'll Wear More in 2025

Like many of us, Susie Wright is in the process of building out her 2025 wardrobe. Given her storied fashion career as a former Nordstrom buyer and content creator (don't forget to check out So Susie), she loves testing fresh silhouettes and trends. On that note, Wright shared the items and trends she will wear more in 2025 to keep her looks on point.
Below, you'll uncover the trends and visual references to inspire your 2025 wardrobe journey. Keep scrolling for more, including a range of shopping picks.
Navy Blue
On Wright: TWP blazer; Frame jeans
"Right about now, I start thinking about wearing less black and more navy blue. You can't ever go wrong with a navy blazer and a darker jean. These are sophisticated classics you'll always feel (and look) good in. Plus, navy is a universal color that looks great on everyone and works any time of year." — Wright
Leopard Anything
On Wright: Mavi jacket
"Leopard is having a moment (it never really went away), but now, it's showing up in many of the latest designer collections. Recently, I spotted a beautiful Valentino coat with bow details, and now, I'm on the lookout for something similar but more affordable! Whether you go for a shoe or accessory or add a piece of clothing like a jacket or dress, leopard always adds a little interest to the outfit." — Wright
Denim Separates
On Wright: Zimmermann dress; Amina Muaddi slingbacks
"Everyone loves denim, and it doesn't only have to be jeans. This year, I'll be adding new pieces, like dresses, skirts, and shirts. Lately, I've been seeing sparkly embellishments on jeans and accessories similar to what I'm wearing above. Love this trend!" — Wright
Brown
On Wright: Ba&sh jacket
"Brown is a trending color that will move into early spring, and it looks really good with faded denim. I also like it with black or other neutrals. Of course, a great brown leather jacket always looks cool!" — Wright
Elevated Casual Pieces
On Wright: Lululemon set
"A matching set always looks polished, giving you an elegant monochromatic look. It's also really versatile, and pretty much any style of jacket works over the set. If you're traveling or running errands, you'll feel a little more put-together in a matching set. Plus, you can wear the pieces separately so easily!" — Wright
Of-the-Moment Accessories
On Wright: Dior scarf
"This year, I'll be focusing on my accessory game. There's nothing more important than great accessories when it comes to completing your outfits! Look for cool belts with gold or silver hardware, beautiful scarves (any style), and accessories for your hair." — Wright
White Shoes
On Wright: Gucci shoes
"Lately, every stylish outfit that's catching my eye involves a white shoe! I was just shopping in New York, and I saw the Prada slingback that was seen on the runways. Now, I'm looking to add something similar. White shoes work with every outfit and feel fresh as we head into the new year." — Wright
