Everyone has that one item that immediately gives them a ready-to-take-on-the-world attitude the second they put it on. It may be a pair of perfect-fitting jeans or a chic statement accessory or even a specific lipstick shade. For Beija Velez, basketball player turned model turned L.A. cool girl, it has always been a pair of fresh sneakers. The self-declared sneakerhead owns—wait for it—over 300 pairs of kicks and counting.

I was 0% surprised to discover that her current favorite pair is none other than Balmain’s BBold sneakers. The name is fitting, as the elevated, chunky-sole shoes really do inspire whoever is wearing them to be bold and use fashion for self-expression, something that Velez has been promoting for years. I can’t think of a better time to invest in a pair of footwear that elevates not only your looks but your confidence, too. And if you’re going to buy luxury shoes, a pair of sneakers you can wear every single day is a guilt-free choice.

While I’ve had a love for many of my pieces throughout the years, my wide-leg pants have always had a special place in my heart. I even have a few pairs from high school that still get their fair share of love in my outfit rotation. They’re not only the most comfortable of all my trousers but they have a flattering silhouette whether you pair with a fitted top or an oversized one. Back when I was in high school, it was a scavenger hunt to find wide-leg pants amongst the sea of skinny jeans and leggings. Now, there’s almost too much to choose from.

Below, I searched through all my favorite retailers to find you wide-leg pants of all sorts that have one thing in common—they’re going to be staples in your wardrobe immediately. You’ll get major wear out of the options below, just keep scrolling. 

Scrolling through Nordstrom just so happens to be one of my favorite pastimes. I enjoy looking through all the new arrivals so that I feel constantly up to date on the latest and greatest that the retailer has to offer. Usually, I am pleasantly surprised by the selection, and this week was no different. Between the array of affordable sandals and influx of perfect summer dresses, it was nearly impossible to narrow down my favorite items, which is why I shopped out 50 of them for you below. 

I know I can tend to be a little dramatic, but I swear these 50 new Nordstrom items are so good. Besides sharing all of these must-haves with you, I’ve been texting them to all my friends too. Ahead, get ready for a shopping story that is filled with trends, basics, and everything in between thanks to Nordstrom’s newness.
