July 17, 2024 Seasonal Switch: High Rise Trousers
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.

July 9, 2024 Loafers for Summer Looks
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!
