Blog: Crossroads Style

We don’t mind going from one week of holiday outfits to another week of New Year’s Eve outfits. It gives us one last opportunity to get dressed up for the year!

New Year’s Eve looks different for everyone. Some will celebrate outdoors with ice skating or town square countdowns, some will enjoy a late night at home with friends, and some will want to dance the night away.

Whatever your New Year’s Eve plans look like, our stores have New Year’s Eve outfits just for you. Here are a few that our store teams put together to inspire you.

Coat & Mini

For those outdoor gatherings. Wear with tights and warm boots, and don’t forget your hot cocoa.

Ethereal

Welcome the New Year in like a dream. Slip dresses and tulle achieve the look.

Cozy Layers

Soft cashmere hoodies and faux fur coats will keep you warm until dawn.

Stand Out

When you’re headed into big crowds, you want to stand out. Not only because it’s New Year’s Eve, but so your friends can easily spot you! Pink leopard, sequin dusters, and mixed prints are just a few ideas.

Classic LBD

If you don’t want to make one more decision after the busy holiday season, there is always the little black dress to fall back on. A classic.

Enjoy your New Year’s Eve!

You’re looking for extra spending money and wondering: where can I sell used clothes for cash?

Good for you, knowing that clothes in your closet that you no longer love can still have value to secondhand fashion shoppers. If your closet is brimming with clothes that…

-You used to love, but don’t fit your style anymore

-Never fit just right

-Were a gift but are not to your personal taste

…then selling them at a secondhand resale shop is a great idea, and Crossroads Trading stores offer you exactly that chance!

It’s because our buyers look for in-season, excellent-condition secondhand pieces that you’ll want to add to your closet now. And we know that outerwear pieces make some of the best investment pieces. Can you imagine adding one of these gems to your closet?

Our stores buy in clothing all day, every day, so there is always something new to find.

Or, consider selling your pre-loved winter clothes for holiday cash or trade to use towards your new winter coat.

While some winter events call for spectacular holiday outfits in sequins and feathers, other events at home with friends and family call for ultimate cozy vibes.

We turned to our store teams to find some easy-to-follow looks that anyone can copy. Which one will you pick?

Head to Toe Knits

Layer knit pieces and you’re all set: stretchy plus warm equals cozy.

Sweater Vest Look

Go “dad chic” with a winter-themed sweater vest layered over a basic top and paired with denim. Add a fanny pack to really clinch the look.

Oversized Cardigan

Find a super-soft, oversized cardigan in merry brights. Look for vintage options from secondhand fashion stores like Crossroads.

Shearling

We will always approve a denim-on-denim look, and adding shearling into the mix makes it a cozy holiday outfit.

Fully Festive

A classic holiday sweater mixed with plaids shows you’re in the holiday spirit. Make it as comfortable as you’d like because festive looks are always the most crowd-pleasing holiday outfits.

Matching Looks

Hosting the party? Set the stage for cozy holiday outfits from the start. Let everyone know the theme in advance. We can’t imagine anyone will be mad about a leggings and sweatshirt holiday dress code.

Happy (cozy) holidays!
