June 10, 2024 Summer Classic: The Boho Blouse

Years ago on a summer trip to Europe, I found myself fixated on one specific item on my shopping list: a boho blouse.

I happily found one in a shop pulsating with techno music, and I never looked back. Almost every summer since, I’ve been on the lookout for a boho blouse. I look for one in a loose-fitting style that works as well with a maxi skirt as it does with well-worn jeans. Paired with sandals and a straw bag, the look is classic summer.

Keep scrolling to see what I mean.

You can see all the summer trends we’re watching by checking out our seasonal selling guide. You not only learn what trends to shop, you also see which styles, labels, and trends that our buyers are looking for right now. See something listed there that’s just been hanging in your closet and getting ignored? Bring it in to one of our stores, or mail it to our Sell By Mail team for assessment. If we decide to buy the item, you’ll receive 30% in cash or 50% in trade of what we price the item for.

Summer is now just weeks away! It’s finally time to find your special boho blouse and other summer essentials.

Summer is quickly approaching with its warm weather and beach days. It’s the perfect time to  revamp your wardrobe with summer trends.

Our stores are a great place to start your shopping, and our team of fashion experts is always on the lookout for the best summer outfit inspo.

We asked the team at Crossroads Santa Cruz which trends they’re most excited to find this summer, and here’s what they had to say!

Timeless Linens

“I think a trend that I’m most excited for this summer is anything linen,” says Noel, a Store Buyer. “Whether you’re lounging on a beach in Greece, or just chilling at home, the colors and breathability of linen shirts, button ups, and pants offer such a simple yet elegant comfort that will always be a classic summer style.”

“A summer essential I always have on hand is a nice tote bag,” says our Lead Cashier, Megan. “I can always find a great variety at Crossroads, from sturdy woven styles to something more lightweight and packable. I’m currently using this adorable embroidered Baggu tote I found here at the Santa Cruz store!”
