Don’t forget you can get cash for clothing at Crossroads stores, and just in time for fall!

With the new season comes back-to-school planning and the desire for a closet refresh. We can help you with both, and with 3 options to consider.

1. Get Cash for Clothing on the Spot

You can bring in all your clothes to one of our stores and try to sell them all at once. It’s much more convenient than selling your pieces individually on an app or website. No building listings and boxing up pieces for the post office.

In fact, our stores buy all day every day and don’t require an appointment. You can even use the Crossroads waitlist app to add your name to the selling waitlist before leaving home!

Once your signed up and in-store, just wait to be called. Our trained buyers take care of the rest.

Bonus: you can collect your cash before you leave the store.

#2 “Trade” for Store Credit

When you sell with us, you also get the option to take your payout as trade. Trade is store credit that can be used at any Crossroads location, and it’s the perfect way to refresh your closet with new finds. With trade, you also earn 50% of what your clothes are priced for, versus 30% for cash.

Many sellers love to use trade as a way to refresh their closets each season.

#3 Short on Time? Try Sell by Mail

Want cash for clothing but don’t live near a Crossroads, or feeling short on time? There’s our Sell by Mail program too! Here’s how it works: order a bag online, fill it up with the gently used items you want to sell, and send it off. It comes with a pre-paid postage label, and you can choose to have unpurchased items donated or returned to you.

Crossroads makes it so easy to sell your pre-loved clothes quickly.

You don’t need to keep your high rise trousers in the back of your closet just waiting for fall. Here’s a little secret: these versatile pants work for summer too!

We personally like to wear them with go-to summer classics like polo shirts, cropped tees, sailor shirts, and tank tops.  Fitted pieces like these look amazing with the loose and often wide-leg silhouette of high rise trousers.

They also give you plenty of shoe options to choose from, like sneakers, loafers, sandals, and heels.

We recently searched our Instagram feeds for some fabulous examples, and inspiration was delivered. Keep scrolling to take a look at some of the outfits we pinned to our styling boards.

Seasonal trends and styles are slowly changing as we move into fall, but you can always count on our selling guide to keep you informed of the pieces we’re currently buying and selling in our stores.

With fall approaching, now’s the time to assess your closet for the upcoming season and decide if there’s anything you can bring into Crossroads for cash or store credit. Stop in to sell and use your earnings to get your closet refreshed and fall-ready.

It’s only the beginning of July, and there’s still plenty of time to earn extra summer cash with seasonal retail jobs.

If you’re someone who loves shopping and following the latest fashion trends, a seasonal retail job with your favorite retailer should top your list. You’ll work with other fashion fans, learn about the latest retail trends, and buy your upcoming fall wardrobe with an employee discount!

For those who prefer secondhand fashion when shopping, consider Crossroads Trading. We’re always looking to grow the teams in our 39 stores across the U.S. Check out our open jobs and all the benefits we offer!

Wear loafers in summer?? This might not be your first instinct, but we think they’re a great seasonal choice.

Loafers are so easy to slip on, and they (yes!) match your favorite summer shorts, whether they’re a preppy pleated pair or in a relaxed boxer shorts style. They work with dresses, skirts, and cropped pants too! Best of all, they are currently trending with comfy socks. Don’t believe us? Keep scrolling to see for yourself.

In fact, take a look at multiple summer looks with loafers that caught our eye on Instagram.

We consider loafers a staple fashion piece, and that’s why you’re likely to find them in one of our stores. But, if you’ve decided this look isn’t for you, consider bringing in your gently used loafers to one of our selling counters. We love leather versions in modern styles from popular brands. Our buyers will assess them during your visit, and your pre-loved pair might just earn you cash or store credit.

See even more seasonal trends to sell or shop in our current selling guide. There are still plenty of summer days ahead to try out one of these looks!

If you’re wondering how to sell fashion online, you’ve come to the right place. The answer might not be what you’re expecting, though!

You might be thinking you need to list your clothing on a website or an app, then take offers and answer potential buyer questions.

Nope. 

You may think you’ll need to package each piece when it sells, becoming best friends with the post office staff as you visit weekly with shipments.

Wrong again.  

How to Sell Fashion Online

How about something like this: you order a free Sell by Mail bag from Crossroads that’s roomy and includes pre-paid postage. You fill it with the items you want to sell and send it off.

Once our buying team receives it, they’ll assess each piece and determine which pieces they can buy in. They aim to buy as much as possible!

You’ll receive notification when they finish your buy, and you can choose your payout in cash (by Zelle payment) or in trade credit that’s good at all Crossroads stores. You also have the choice to have your unpurchased items donated or returned to you for a fee.
