Seasonal dresses are a popular pick, but secondhand dresses are even better. With a varied selection and lower prices, they match your unique style while giving you the thrill of the hunt.

As we slip into the fall season, here are 4 types of secondhand dresses that are fun to find.

Vintage Styles

Bring back an oldie but goodie style like this beautiful Gunne Sax piece. The burgundy velveteen, lace-up top, and crochet detailing showcase why vintage dresses still stand up decades later.

Maxi Length

A maxi dress becomes a prime layering piece in fall. Add leggings, boots, sweaters, and jackets to build a complete fall look.

Fall Florals

We have yet to meet a floral piece that doesn’t delight us. The print is unexpected in fall and winter, but fits in when the color palette leans into dusty pinks, forest green, and rust.

Moody Chic

Bring out all the late-90s vibes with dresses in long silhouettes with matching platform shoes or combat boots. Add a chunky necklace or choker, of course.

We want to see the secondhand dresses you’re wearing this fall! Tag us on Instagram @crossroadstrading to share.

Or shop and sell your fall pieces at any of our store locations (excluding our outlet store in Stockton, CA).

What is your #1 selling tip for new sellers?

Take a look around the store while waiting for the buyers to sort through your clothing! You may find something new for your collection.

Have you tried a plaid jacket in your fall wardrobe? If you’re unsure which style is best or how you’d wear it, here are 6 ways that stand out to us.

1. Cropped

We can’t get over this cropped version in a bomber style. It’s paired to perfection with wide-legged denim, and the shearling collar is A+.

2. Vintage-Styled

A plaid jacket can last for years, so it’s no surprise you can find plenty of vintage versions. We like how this red and black version is buttoned up like a shirt, with a square silk scarf and brooch added for a touch of whimsy.

3. Sporty

For weekends and other casual days, it’s a great warm layer over activewear or paired with cargo pants.

4. Dressed Up

With it’s button-up style, you’ll find it consistently works with trousers too. Love the cuffed sleeves here.

5. Paired with a Fall Hat

Complete the classic fall look with a felted hat or beanie.

6. Mixed with Brights

Put some extra pep into fall and winter days by matching your plaid jacket with brightly-colored accessories. We love these neon pops of color.
