February 1, 2024 Get Sporty with a Rugby Shirt

A rugby shirt can’t help but give college campus vibes, and that’s what makes them such a fun fashion piece.

With sporty classic style making an appearance on our current selling guide, we revisited the rugby shirt this month and started scrolling our socials for outfit inspiration.

As always, rugby shirts are natural fit for baggy shorts and cuffed jeans, but what about trying it with a fringe skirt or biker shorts?

We also like to play with the two-button neckline of the shirt, sometimes opting to button up for an ultra preppy look.

Take a look at some of the outfits we added to our personal style boards.

If the sporty classic trend is not your style, we have more trends to share in our selling guide. Moody vibes, anyone?

Once you’ve decided on your outfit inspiration for the season, check your closet, clean it out, and bring in your pre-loved clothes to sell at one of our stores. You could earn cash or store credit to update your closet with new-to-you pieces.

January 30, 2024 Micro Mini Skirts Mean Spring

Micro mini skirts made major waves in the late 1960s, and they’ve remained a staple in the trend cycle ever since. They’ve seen a resurgence in the last two years, and we still expect them to see them this upcoming season.

Likely because our stores are starting to rotate their clothing styles into spring, we’ve had these adorable skirts on our minds lately. The plan: if we get our hands on them now, we’ll have them ready to kick off those first warm days of spring. Outfit ideas abound!

You can wear these minis with everything from frilly blouses to baby tees to sweatshirts. You can even play off their 60s vibe with a turtleneck and pendant necklace.

When selecting shoes, we like to pick a chunky platform, heeled boots, or loafers. Tights are our secret to wearing them well before spring is officially in the air.

Keep scrolling to see some of the looks that inspire us to keep adding micro mini skirts to our wardrobe.

January 18, 2024 What’s an Apron Dress?

An apron dress is one of the most versatile pieces you’ll ever own.

If you haven’t heard of one before, an apron dress is typically a wrap-around dress with a tie-waist at front. It’s very similar to a kitchen apron and most popular in lightweight fabrics like linen.

You can wear one over anything from a turtleneck to a boatneck tee. Wear it as a simple dress, or layer one over jeans. We know you’ll find your favorite pairing.

More than anything, we absolutely adore clothing with pockets, and you can almost always count on an apron dress to include them. In addition, the wrap-around style allows you to size the dress to your personal liking. This is great when you want to layer in thicker sweaters in winter.

Keep scrolling to get some photo inspiration, then click through to our selling guide to see even more trends we love.

Look for an apron dress–or any of your favorite dress styles–at a Crossroads store location. Make sure to add one to your closet before spring!

You can even bring in pre-loved clothing to sell so you can pick one up with store credit.

January 16, 2024 The Best Way to Sell Used Clothes

The best way to sell used clothes is in a fashion resale store like Crossroads. We know we’re partial to saying that, but let us tell you why.

For most people, selling their clothes begins like this: staring at a pile of unwanted clothes from a closet clean-out or move.

Sure, you could use Ebay or one of the peer-to-peer selling apps to list and sell each piece individually, but most people just want this pile of clothing to disappear.

That’s where a fashion resale store comes in. You can bring all of those clothes (except for stained and damaged pieces) up to their selling counter and have a store buyer assess each piece for cash or trade credit.

You’ll get more of those pre-loved clothes out of your hair right away, and walk away with cash that day.
