Blog: Crossroads Style

Western style grows in popularity in the fall when seasonal activities like harvest festivals and pumpkin patch visits hit our calendars.

While the pieces involved in western style are casual, there’s something distinct about the look that makes it a classic. That’s we included the style in our seasonal selling guide for this reason.

And we don’t encourage a head-to-toe western look. Instead, bring just a few key pieces into your wardrobe to achieve this style. In fact, here are 7 western style pieces we’re looking for this fall, especially when we’re out shopping secondhand.

A Denim Shirt

We like a dark denim. For added flair, look for western-style pockets.

Fringe Details

Just a touch on your jacket or handbag gives a nod to the style.

Vintage Plaid

There’s something about the soft, faded colors of a vintage plaid that gives off western vibes.

Western Accessories

Sometimes achieving the look is as simple as a western belt buckle or cowboy boots.

A Blanket Coat

The ultimate in cozy fall adventure wear.

Western Shirt

Look for the classic details, like pocket details and piping.

A Western Print Cardigan

We’re looking for one just like this, with a shawl collar.

Floral fashion pieces feel like they’re always trending, but this fall season has a particular floral print standing out from the rest. It’s the homestead floral print, and its prints are inspired by the pretty and delicate ones you find on tea towels or linens.

You’ll know the print when you see it because it’s dainty and has a prairie feel. It’s usually in earthy tones too. We’ve included this special floral under the “homestead chic” style listed in our most recent seasonal selling guide.

This floral fashion print is a departure from bigger and bolder ones we’ve seen in recent years. Keep an eye out for them when shopping at any of our store locations, and keep scrolling to see a few examples of this floral fashion print.

The print looks perfect on dresses, skirts, blouses, and aprons. You’ll usually find it in light cotton fabric, and it matches as well with denim as a soft neutral cardigan.

If you’ve incorporated homestead chic into your fall wardrobe, we want to see how you’re styling it! Tag us on Instagram @crossroadstrading, and you might find your look on our brand feed.

We’re not done gushing over 70s style fashion looks, as you can tell from its recurring inclusion in our seasonal selling guides. The 70s were probably one of the best decades for fashion with highly-recognizable silhouettes, colors, and textures.

Driven by a love for shopping secondhand, many people are rediscovering the best of the decade, and 70s style fashion looks can be seen on the streets with a modern twist. You can, of course, find some great pieces in our Crossroads stores. In fact, here’s a list of some of the 70s pieces we can’t get enough of.

Leather Blazer

A leather blazer is a classic 70s piece, especially when you find one in colored leather.

Crochet

Crochet pieces immediately bring the 70s to mind! Look for halter tops and ponchos.

Corduroy

Pants, dress, jacket…just make it corduroy!

Mini & Boots

A mini dress or skirt alone is a 70s fashion favorite. Add knee-high boots to take it straight back to the decade.

Vest

Add this to your shopping list for your next thrift store visit. Look for tapestry and floral prints to really strike the look.

Neck Scarf

So simple, but so 70s. A silk neck scarf automatically gives off 70s vibes.
