Fall and winter call for tall boots! If you have a pair you’re ready to wear for work or play, we have some styling ideas to help you plan your next look. Check out 6 ways we love to wear them.

1. Paired with Tights

We consider this the easiest was to show off tall boots! Add a pair of tights for warmth and style. You can even choose a bright hue or textured knit for more visual interest.

2. Coupled with Leggings

Elevate your favorite leggings with this classic riding look. A turtleneck and tweed blazer complete the outfit, all while keeping you warm and comfortable.

3. Matched with a Mini

Make sure those boots are the main feature by pairing them with a mini skirt or dress. The flannel mini dress shown here hits all the right notes.

4. Pulled Over Jeans

You know your skinny jeans are just calling for a boots meetup. Add in a puffer jacket to complete this favored winter look.

5. With a Long Dress

We like to add a long ribbed knit dress for a simple and effortless look, and we really love the monochrome pairing here. Plus, how cute is that belt bag??

6. Make Them Preppy

Pair them with a turtleneck sweater and wool plaid skirt for the ultimate preppy winter look. A pair in suede would be perfect.

If you have pre-loved tall boots you’re looking to sell, visit one of our stores for a buyer assessment.

You can also see all the styles, trends, and labels we’re looking for this season with our seasonal selling guide. Or follow us on Instagram for more style inspiration.

You know you can get money for clothes inside our stores all day, every day.

But if you find yourself short on time, or far away from one of our stores, we have an extra convenient option just for you.

It’s our Sell By Mail service, which just happens to be celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year!

With Sell By Mail, you mail your pre-loved clothing to us from home and can earn cash via a Zelle e-payment or trade credit that’s good in any of our stores.

The best part of this service (outside of the unbelievable convenience)? It’s free! Just request your free shipping bag online, fill it up with your gently used items at home, and use the pre-paid label on it to mail your items in.

Then wait for our trained buying team to assess each item. If they purchase a piece, you’ll earn a percentage of what they price the item for. We’ll donate the rest for you, or you can have your unpurchased items returned to you for a small fee.

Winter sweaters are a mainstay in our current wardrobe, and we don’t mind it one bit. TBH, we actually wait impatiently for this time of year, when we can finally turn to our stacks of soft and cozy knitted pieces.

There are some versions that we pick most regularly, however. Here are some of our favorite styles of winter sweaters.

Cut-Out

There’s nothing ordinary about this look. And how great are those additional pearl accents?

V-Neck

This style is a favorite in all seasons. It’s the best cut for showing off dainty gold chains.

Handmade

When you’re so lucky you have a knitter in your family! We can’t get over the hand-embroidered details.

Cardigan

This one’s consistently a winner. Winter is the time to hunt for cardigans in winter whites and rich tones.

Alpine

We will always love a fun ski sweater, whether or not we intend on hitting the slopes.

Fair Isle

It’s a classic for a reason, and it hits just right for the holidays.

Hop on over to our seasonal selling guide for all the winter trends we’re wearing this season, or join us over on Instagram for a daily dose of style inspiration.

At Crossroads stores, you can buy-sell-trade clothes any time of the year to earn cash on the spot, but the holidays can be an even better time when you’re looking for extra holiday cash (because those gifts don’t buy themselves).

In fact, you have two great options to take advantage of at Crossroads: when our in-store buyers complete your buy, they’ll offer you a percentage of what they priced your items for.

So if you choose cash, you can use it on any holiday spending you’d like. That can mean gifts, holiday outings, or winter break travel.

And if you choose trade, you can shop fun secondhand fashion finds for a friend (or even yourself!). You’ll find that our stores are filled with gently used, contemporary clothing and accessories in your favorite brands and at affordable prices. You only need to follow us on Instagram to get an idea of what you might find.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not – and it’s easy! Learn even more about how to buy-sell-trade clothes at Crossroads this holiday season.

Puffers have officially emerged from the back of our closets, ready to get us through the coldest winter days ahead.

You may have only one version in mind when you think of puffers (knee-length and black, right?), but you can absolutely get creative with different colors and styles.

We searched Instagram for a variety of pieces and found them in lengths from cropped to full-length, and in colors from pastels to classic black.
