Here are some of our favorite styles of winter sweaters.

Buy-Sell-Trade Clothes for Holiday Cash

At Crossroads stores, you can buy-sell-trade clothes any time of the year to earn cash on the spot, but the holidays can be an even better time when you’re looking for extra holiday cash (because those gifts don’t buy themselves). In fact, you have two great options to take advantage of at Crossroads: when our in-store buyers complete your buy, they’ll offer you 30% cash or 50% trade of what they priced your items for.

Puffers are Back for Winter

You may have only one version in mind when you think of puffers (knee-length and black, right?), but you can absolutely get creative with different colors and styles. We searched Instagram for a variety of pieces and found them in lengths from cropped to full-length, and in colors from pastels to classic black. Click through to see our inspo photos.

Country club prep is a style that covers so many of our favorite fashion pieces: think tailored trench coats, casual plaids, tweeds, luxury knits, classic denim, and boots. With many layers to consider, like button-downs, turtlenecks, and blazers, we love to stock our stores with these items. (Have some preloved pieces like this in your closet you no longer wear?

One of the Best Places to Thrift

The best places to thrift have racks upon racks of great and diverse finds, whether it’s a vintage band tee, your favorite denim label, or a quirky handbag you didn’t know you needed. They also have affordable prices and organized racks for easy shopping. For example, at Crossroads we do our rack organization by style, size, and color. Learn more about thrifting at Crossroads.
