We had a super cool reversible Nautica jacket with bright colors that I loved but it was a men’s size that would’ve been too large on me.
What are you dying to see come into your Crossroads store?
A unique pair of vintage platform boots would definitely be worth dying for.

Jeans are a tough item to size for me, so my favorite find would easily be these UNIF carpenter jeans that fit me perfectly!

I’m excited to get to wear long, flowy skirts again!

April 7, 2022 Sheer Dresses for Spring
Our latest selling guide is chock full of spring trends. Some are old favorites like florals, while some are a bit more exciting, like sheer dresses.
Hear us out. It may sound frightening at first mention, but you’ll see in our outfit picks below that sheer dresses can be worn beautifully over other clothing, including non-sheer dresses. And sometimes, only the sleeves and lower skirt are completely sheer.
But let us show you what we mean! We think some of the best sheer dress inspiration lies ahead. Here are some looks that have us truly excited to try the trend this season.
Sheer dresses are only one of the 30 trends we’re currently sharing over here in our seasonal selling guide. Take a look, then spring clean your closet and visit any of our store locations across the country to sell your pre-loved clothes for cash or store credit. If you’re not located near one of our stores, then we have a Sell by Mail option just for you!
If you do take our advice and try the trend, then we want to see your looks! Tag us on Instagram @crossroadstrading, and you might find yourself featured on our brand feed.

March 31, 2022 The Floral Print Trend
What would spring fashion be without a great floral print trend? There’s no better way to welcome in spring than with the pretty print on dresses, tops, and accessories. That’s why they can be found in almost every spring trend guide we publish.
This year, the trending floral prints are a mix of the classics: bold and colorful, dainty, and large-scale. As always, you have the option to dress up a romantic print with simple jewelry and coordinating pieces in textures like velvet. Or, add some contrast to the print with a moto jacket, big jewelry, and sneakers.
Don’t forget you can always just add a hint of floral to a look with the lucky find of a floral tie or shoes.
Start the scroll to see some of the looks we want to copy this spring.
The floral print never bores us, but there’s no need to worry if it’s not the trend for you! We have a seasonal guide with 29 other trends to get you excited about spring cleaning your closet and refreshing your wardrobe at any of our store locations across the country.
