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.

Keep scrolling to see just a few of our finds, then glance through our latest seasonal selling guide to see what else we’re buying into our stores right now.

Would it even be winter without plaids in our wardrobe? This print is versatile and just perfect for the holidays. Of course it’s gorgeous in taffeta and satin, but it’s those casual looks that you’ll find us wearing on repeat. Here are 5 ways we like to introduce it into our everyday looks.

1. Classic Casual

This is the winter favorite: a flannel shirt, a super soft tee, and perfectly worn-in denim.

2. Matching Sets

We love a matching set for easy morning dressing. Getting ready for the day doesn’t get easier than this.

3. Jackets

We keep an eye out for heavier flannels and plaid jackets. They layer so well and bring just enough warmth for sunny winter days.

4. Mini Skirts

A mini skirt is a fun pick for the office or an evening event. Just pair it with a simple top or sweater in a matching solid color.

5. Vintage

Plaids have been around forever, and some of the best pieces are in vintage styles. We shop our local thrift stores with this print in mind.

Do you have a pair of platform loafers on your holiday wishlist? So do we!

We already have a few styling ideas in mind, including the 5 featured below.

1. Tone Down Preppy

We love a classic preppy look, but sometimes we want to give it some edge. Platform loafers help achieve that.

2. With Crew Socks

Add a pair of cozy crew socks and show them off! Go for a basic white or add in a pop of color.

3. With Knee Highs

Take your pair fully into the 90s by adding knee-high socks– inspired by Cher from Clueless, of course!

4. In Unexpected Colors

What? A pair in green?! We need these. They are totally unexpected and in a bold color we can’t ignore.

5. In White or Cream

Don’t forget to consider white or cream too. A pair in these light colors will carry you straight into spring.
