As a former Nordstrom stylist (where she curated looks for VIP clients) and currently as a content creator (behind Stylish Sandy), Sandy Koszarek certainly has a pulse on what matters in fashion. While she wears various items, she often gravitates toward basics to round out her looks. She's also a fan of those more trend-forward and elevated basics. These pieces are versatile like other basics but have modern design elements or come in of-the-moment prints and colors.
There are five trendier basics Koszarek is wearing in 2025 to look stylish. She's also recommending the basics to her followers and friends when they want to elevate their wardrobes. Keep scrolling to check out her list, along with visual and shopping inspiration if you too want to add one (or all) of the styles to your wardrobe.

Tall Boots
"Though tall boots are a classic staple, they're now trending—perfect for wearing with dresses and skirts." — Koszarek
Animal Prints
"Animal prints are easy to style with basics, neutrals, and bright colors, making them the perfect print to add interest to any outfit." — Koszarek
