Blog: Crossroads Style

Whether we’re taking a long flight or heading out for a weekend road trip, we find that oversized handbags make everything easier. Who doesn’t want to reach into their handbag on a long flight and find a vast array of travel treats like a fashion magazine, a bag of white cheddar popcorn, a cozy scarf, and noise-canceling headphones?

If you didn’t catch it, we listed oversized handbags in our current selling guide as one of the elevated everyday items we’re looking for this season. We also found lots of examples of them in our brand’s regional feeds on Instagram! Take a look at some of the amazing bags that recently came through our stores. Which one would you choose?

We’d happily take any of these with us on our next trip! Roomy and well-made, they’re ready to pack up and travel alongside our carry-on bag.

Stop into one of our stores to shop for your travel match. Or, if you have gently used handbags that you no longer love, bring it into a Crossroads location to earn cash or trade for a new-to-you piece. Our stores buy all day every day – no appointment necessary!

You want to sell clothes for money on the spot. We get it! That’s why we offer a selling solution you can’t find with online platforms or apps.

Here’s how it works. Bring your gently used clothes into any Crossroads store location (except our outlet store in Stockton), and our buyers will assess your clothing and offer you cash or trade that day.  We offer 30% cash or 50% trade of what we price your items for. Take the cash, or use the trade as store credit to refresh your closet with new fashion finds.

You don’t even need to make an appointment because our stores buy all day every day. But if you want to minimize your wait time in-store, you can download the Crossroads waitlist app and add your name to the waitlist remotely. You’ll conveniently receive a text when it’s your turn to sell! (Watch this video to learn how it works).

Get started by checking out our latest selling guide to learn the styles, trends, and labels we’re currently looking for. Then clean out your closet and bring those pre-loved items our way.

Sell clothes for money on the spot – the Crossroads way!

Puffer jackets are undeniably cozy, but how do you keep your look stylish while staying warm? We turned to Instagram to find some style inspiration. Follow along to see what we found!

Go for Pastels

There’s no requirement to wear one in the usual black or gray. Instead, pick one in an unexpected pop of spring color, like this ballerina pink.

Monochrome & Neutrals

Take the look full monochrome to achieve a simple chic outfit. Weave in other neutrals like winter white and charcoal gray.

Pick a Fabric Twist

Not all puffer jackets are made in the classic nylon fabric. Look for variety, like this version in corduroy.

Make it Sporty

Add leggings, trainers, and a baseball cap for the ultimate sporty look. Ski slopes not required.

Baggy

We love a good oversized fit, so don’t overlook a baggy style. Pair it with wide-leg jeans or cargo pants.

There are even more seasonal styles to consider in our current selling guide and fall/winter lookbook.

Take a look, get inspired, and then stop into your nearest Crossroads store to shop for the new season. Don’t forget to bring in your gently used seasonal pieces to sell for cash or trade!
