Blog: Crossroads Style

When we style cowboy boots for fall, we create several uniform outfits that are easy to throw on and perfect for transitional weather. These looks include lots of denim, breezy dresses, and cozy sweaters.

Keep scrolling to see just a few ways we style cowboy boots for fall. Then, stop into any of our stores to see if we have a pair waiting in your size!

With an Oversized Blazer

Oversized blazers continue to trend this season, so we like to pair one with cowboy boots and straight-leg jeans.

With Denim-on-Denim

Pairing denim with more denim makes a great foundational look for our boots. You probably already have a denim shirt or jacket waiting in your closet.

With Striped Sweaters

We’re seeing striped sweaters everywhere right now, and they’re just calling to be paired with light-wash denim and boots.

Paired with Fancy

Dress your pair up with the pieces you usually consider “fancy” like metallics, silks, and florals.

With Our Favorite Dresses

Long or short, solid or printed, we consider every dress in our closet as an outfit match. Bring in a leather belt to complete the look.

If you want to work in a secondhand shop, there are several options. Some shops sell donations, some focus on consigning items, and then there are stores like Crossroads that offer a buy-sell-trade option.

Whichever you choose, you are likely to find yourself immersed in fashion and excellent deals. Here are 3 fun benefits that we consistently find at Crossroads.

1. Filling Your Closet with Amazing Finds

In many stores, you’ll receive an employee discount, and that’s on top of the already incredible deals you can find secondhand. Be prepared to have a closet full of fashionable and affordable finds!

2. Work with People Who Love to Thrift

If you see a secondhand shop as a treasure trove, then we speak the same language! Working with others in these shops comes with the perk of meeting people who share this passion.

3. Learning How to Select & Merchandise Clothing

Whether sorting through donated items at a charity thrift shop or buying from the public in a fashion resale store like Crossroads, your fashionable eye will improve as you select and merchandise pieces in the store that you know customers will love.

On top of all this, working in a secondhand shop means you’re working in an industry focused on sustainability. Finding new owners for preloved fashion and more makes every day feel special. Interested in trying it? Check out our current job openings.

We included fringe in our seasonal selling guide, and a fringe jacket might be the best way to wear it.

A fringe jacket is a rare find, so that’s why we keep our eyes open for them in our stores. When we do find one, we treasure it for years. Most come in long-lasting materials like leather or suede, so they’re an investment piece that can last a lifetime.

There is more than one way to wear a fringe jacket too! Here are 3 ways that we casually style this prize find.

Western Style

You can’t help but be inspired to add cowboy boots and ruffled hems, so go with it!

With Activewear

Pairing one with activewear is always unexpected. The silhouettes work wonders together.

As a Neutral

Keep the look neutral if you want to tone down the fringe. Wear a black one with a monotone look and with gray; a brown one looks great with tan pieces.

Don’t overlook a fringe jacket when you next see one in our stores! Give it a try with one of these looks, or with it’s classic match: flared denim.

There are so many excellent trends to try this season. Shop or sell them in our stores, or check our selling guide for even more to consider.

We buy secondhand clothes for a dozen reasons, but one of the best is updating our wardrobes for a new season.

With fall in full swing, we’re currently filling our stores with some of these seasonal favorites.

Below is what we love to stock and shop in the fall. There must be something here that you’re eyeing too!

Sneakers

All of our fall looks need great sneaker pairings, so we love fashion resale shops that stock a wide range of sneaker options.

Grandparent Chic

With the holidays approaching and family events getting booked on our calendars, we start to look for cozy pieces with funky motifs. Cat sweatshirt or crocheted sweater, anyone? Thrift and resale stores have them!

Fall Neutrals

Every seasonal wardrobe calls for basic neutrals. These neutrals can be blouses, trousers, or accessories. In the fall, we look for these pieces in off-white, black, gray, and tan colors.

Luxe Handbags

With the temps cooling, our daily looks get covered up in long coats. The answer is beautiful handbags that we can show off. We look for rich jewel-tone colors and premium materials.

Secondhand clothes are a must each season. Check out our recent selling guide to see all the trends we’re looking for.

You usually expect to see a lace top in spring and summer, and that’s what makes one in fall an unexpected look.

We start with tops that have longer sleeves or higher collars, then pair them with warmer pieces like jeans and blazers.

Here are a few of the ways we like to style them for autumn weather.

With Dark Denim

We like the contrast of dark denim with lace. Add in chic classic accessories like a silk headband, pearl earrings, or gold aviator frames.

In An Unexpected Color

Look beyond colors like black and white. This mint green version is a great example, especially with those amazing sailor pants!

With Warm Outerwear

Pair the lightness of lace with warm outerwear in soft materials like cashmere and wool. This charcoal overcoat is an excellent match for black lace.

In This Season’s Latte

We’re seeing mocha shades everywhere this season, and this puff-sleeve top is a perfect example of bringing together two trends.
