Many of us would agree that a wardrobe would feel incomplete without denim. Susie Wright couldn’t agree more. As a former Nordstrom buyer and a current stylist and content creator (she’s the mastermind behind So Susie), she’s not only been living in denim for years, but also consistently recommends various styles as wardrobe staples to her clients and followers. On that note, there are six key denim trends Wright is currently styling over and over again. She also thinks these silhouettes make her wardrobe feel even chicer because they’re cool and relevant.
Keep scrolling to uncover the denim trends that bring a modern and forward feel to Wright’s closet. You’ll also see how Wright styles the denim trends to create her chic looks. Oh, and don’t miss out on shopping inspiration either.
1. Dark-Wash Jeans

“Super elevated and if you go for a longer length, you’ll feel (and look) taller! Very sophisticated with a lady jacket or a blazer, and slingbacks or heels. A must in everyone’s closet.” — Wright

On Wright: L’Agence skirt
“Denim skirts are having a moment, that’s for sure! I’ve been wearing the light blue one above on repeat. I’m noticing varying lengths, but my fave hits at the knee. Anything goes with shoes, from a sneaker to a sandal to slightly higher heel.” — Wright

3. Wide-Leg Jeans
On Wright: Paige jeans
“A holdover silhouette from last year, wide-leg denim is still the It jean. I like it paired with a more fitted top (like a tank) and an oversized layer like a blazer or an overshirt. This is the top denim update of the moment, and you can dress it up with heels or down with sneakers.” — Wright

4. White Jeans
On Wright: Mother jeans
“White denim is a classic style of denim to own, and the same goes for its sister colors of écru, ivory and bone. It’s especially popular this time of year, and is trending yet again if street style is any indication. Pair with literally anything (I like a darker color on top) for a stylish summer look. Just for fun, try an all-white outfit … and accessorize accordingly.” — Wright
