Blog: Crossroads Style

As part of our Staff Style Spotlight series, meet Joaquin, a Lead Cashier at Crossroads. We asked San Jose and Santa Cruz employees to bring their style and star in our latest photoshoot wearing their Crossroads finds. Read about Joaquin’s personal style, favorite Crossroads finds, and favorite thing about working at Crossroads.

Describe your all-time favorite Crossroads find.

Golf Wang mint cardigan with a blue embroidered bee in the pocket. Either this or a pair of brown leather Bapesta shoes.

Which clothing brand(s) do you get excited to see at Crossroads?

Ben Davis (pants), Vans (basic black shoes), or any band tees I may recognize (no specific brand). Seeing Golf Wang, Supreme, or other common street wear brands is fun to see too.

Describe your personal style in 5 words or less.

“The same black tee… again”

What is your favorite part about working at Crossroads?

What tips do you have for selling at Crossroads?

Make sure there’s no crazy stains or rips. Make sure it’s something you’d want to buy here too; that can be pretty helpful in my opinion.

Thanks for the Staff Style Spotlight, Joaquin! As a Lead Cashier, Joaquin has the exciting job of creating an aesthetically appealing environment that welcomes all customers, assisting customers throughout the store, and handling all sales-related tasks.

It’s time to research holiday outfit ideas and get ready for the next few weekends of events! Whether it’s an office party, family gathering, or more formal outing, there’s a look that will match every single event.

Below are some of the holiday outfit themes that inspire us year after year. Pick the ones that work best for your holiday event schedule.

All the Frills

Sometimes you want to go full glam for the holidays. This look with pearls, feathers, and Gucci tights gets it right.

Disco Ready

We turn to sequins and metallics all holiday season. This look is so ready for the dance floor.

Layers of Accessories

Take your look to the next level by piling on your best accessories. We’re inspired by this look’s extra additions: a newsboy cap, bold sunglasses, spotlight scarf, and mini weekender bag.

Classic Glam

We love to recreate classic looks, and this floor-length velour dress with matching gloves is a perfect example.

Traditional Plaid

Who doesn’t love a holiday plaid? We adore this plaid dress with a festive velvet tie waist. The black boots make it modern.

Luxe from Head to Toe

Pull out all the investment pieces in your closet. This look is minimal, but the luxe fabrics shine through.

A denim skirt is a wardrobe staple, but there is one style in particular that’s getting a lot of attention right now. It’s the denim maxi skirt, and you can see it everywhere.

From mid-calf to ankle length, we prefer one with a front slit. Heels can make sense, but boots and sneakers are an equally-popular choice.

They pair well with turtlenecks, crop tops, long sleeve jersey tees, you name it. Add an outerwear layer like trench coats and leather jackets.

Designer resale pieces have a special place in our heart because while we love luxury pieces, we don’t always have the budget to match.

Plus, there’s something extra exciting about finding a secondhand piece that’s priced at a third of its original retail price!

Gently used clothing and accessories from Balenciaga, Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton…need we say more?

Take a look at some of the designer resale pieces that were recently spotted on the floors of our stores. These are just a sample of what you can find in our consignment cases. (And, ahem, did you know we give 50-70% cash payouts on consigned items? It’s true!).

While you’re in our stores looking for great designer picks, consider selling or consigning your own pre-loved pieces. We offer both cash and store credit payout options, and our experienced buyers buy all day every day.

First, visit our seasonal selling guide to see the styles, labels, and brands we’re currently looking for. Then, locate your nearest Crossroads store, or try our Sell by Mail service from the convenience of home.

Either way, you could earn cash or store credit for your next designer purchase!

A metallic dress is a fitting holiday fashion selection. Along with all the season’s tinsel and bows, the shine of a metallic dress feels extra festive.

What might surprise you is that they come in different styles beyond the classic cocktail version you probably have in mind. Floor length, baby doll, and maxi versions should also be considered!

Fabrics can be silky, sheer, or a heavy brocade. Few accessories are needed with a piece this special.

Speaking of the holidays, are you looking for holiday cash? We know you want to spoil your friends and family (or yourself!) with holiday gifts and experiences.

Now’s the time to earn cash or store credit at a Crossroads location near you. Bring in your gently used, on-trend, fashion items and accessories. There’s no appointment necessary to sell with one of our experienced buyers, and you can even use our waitlist app to save time.

If you can’t make it into a store this season (because we know how busy your holiday event schedule is!), check out our Sell by Mail option and sell from home.
