Blog: Crossroads Style

Secondhand shopping is like a treasure hunt. Every visit to one of our stores is a fashion adventure.

Sometimes we have an exact item in mind, like a summer dress or a denim jacket. Other times, we’re open to perusing whatever the racks are showing off that day. This is usually when we get our best unexpected finds!

Because we buy all day every day from the public, what you can find on our store racks changes by the hour. In fact, some of our most devoted customers stop by daily to see what’s new.

Here are some of the great finds that made their way into our stores recently.

Skater fashion is right up our alley. It’s so relaxed and easy, and you never age out of it, although it always feels youthful.

We included it in our latest seasonal selling guide because it’s a trend that screams, “It’s almost summer!” Long days, boardwalk visits, and casual looks are headed our way.

Whether or not your skater moves impress, you can give the trend a try. Some of the classic pieces for the look are oversized sweatshirts and t-shirts, baggy pants, low-profile sneakers, long shorts, and a bucket hat or beanie.

However, you can develop a skater style all your own. Keep scrolling for some photo inspiration.

Besides skater fashion, we have lots of other trends, styles, and labels featured in our seasonal selling guide. Take a look and decide which ones you’ll try this spring and summer.

If you need to stock up on the latest trends, stop into any Crossroads location to shop our racks filled with gently used, current pieces at a fraction of the original retail price. Bring your pre-loved clothes for an even better shopping experience: sell to our in-store buyers for cash or store credit!

Can you really mail in clothes for money? The answer is not only yes, but you can do it for free!

What is Sell By Mail?

Years ago, Crossroads created its Sell by Mail program to offer customers the convenience of selling clothes from home. While many preferred the on-the-spot selling option at Crossroads store locations, some customers wanted a mail option that met their busy schedules.

With Sell by Mail, you simply order a free clothing bag with pre-paid postage. At the time you order it, you decide if you want your payment in cash (via Zelle e-payment) or store credit that’s good at any Crossroads location.

You can also decide if you want your unpurchased items donated or returned to you for a return fee.

Then, check out our latest selling guide to learn what we’re looking for, and fill the bag with your gently-used clothes in these trends, styles, and labels. Use the pre-paid postage to send it off!

Once received, Crossroads can process your bag in as little as 4 weeks.

This is exactly how you mail in clothes for money from home. Give it a try and get started with your free Sell by Mail bag.

We know that at first mention, you might brush off mesh tops. They’re a complicated fashion piece!

We’ve included them in our latest seasonal selling guide under the fun theme of “I’m with the band.” That’s because we associate them with music festivals and concerts. In fact, mesh tops are perfect for extracurricular activities like a night out at your favorite club.

But they can be work for everyday looks too!

Don’t believe us? Keep scrolling to learn 5 ways to wear them, from nights out to day outings.

1. With a Suit

A suit is begging for a top that’s unexpected, and we think a mesh top makes a suit party-ready.

2. Cropped

We love a crop top in the spring and summer, and a mesh one pairs perfectly with a cropped basic.

3. As a Layering Piece

With luxe fabrics like leather and silk, a mesh top can become a layering “basic.”

4. Over a Bra Top

The simplest way to style a mesh top for summer.

5. Over a Button-Down

Maybe the most unexpected pairing of all, a mesh top even works over a button-down.

What do you think? Whether you’re in or passing on the look, we know we have a trend, style, or label you’ll love. Stop into any Crossroads location to see for yourself!
