Hello, Melrose fam! We hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by your loved ones, family, or chosen family. We wanted to take a moment to send you warm wishes and share a special event happening for the first time! Please read below to learn more about our Holiday Bucks event.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about what to wear while spending time with your loved ones. Whether your family prefers a more relaxed atmosphere or enjoys dressing up, it's important to dress appropriately for the occasion. This year, we have outfits for contemporary women, juniors, men, girls, and boys,  featuring cozy sweaters, stylish jeans, comfortable pants, elegant dress shirts, and much more. These outfits are perfect for enjoying a delicious meal and creating cherished memories with your family. Browse through the selection below to find some inspiration for your Thanksgiving outfit.

Now that spooky season is over and we're in a new month, the holidays are quickly approaching. For the close-knit families that love gathering for the holidays and snapping memorable photos for their home, Christmas cards, or the gram, Melrose has some of the most attractive and affordable family pajama sets! From babies to adults, our sets include all members of the family. Take a look at our slides below for our newest additions.

Melrose fam, rejoice! We finally have relief from the heat, so it's time to grab some new boots for the fall and winter seasons. There is a need for a collection of staple shoes no matter the season, with some treasure pieces for bold statements or just for the sake of uniqueness. 

Some pieces we showcase are on-trend, such as suede and pleather; others might be more affordable dupes of big brand names. All styles serve a different purpose and have their personality. Discover your perfect fit below with our nine highlighted boot styles for the fall and winter seasons.

This week is a special post because we are excited to announce that Melrose stores will soon receive some fabulous Ardell Professional products in most locations. Products include a selection of Ardell's Naked and Doll Lashes, DUO adhesives, and Nail Addict styles. Continue below for videos and images of each product we receive in action. 

Cooler temperatures call for a shift in our wardrobe; some pieces are put to the wayside while others can be incorporated into warmer ensembles. Thicker fabrics, layering, and closed-toed shoes all have the spotlight. The mood and vibe for fall integrate functionality, comfort, and style into one outfit. This week, we at Melrose have ten layered looks for our young ladies that showcase various outerwear pieces, like shackets and fleece jackets, how we styled them, and other creative ways to elevate their fashion with our selection. 

The best fashion trick is making an outfit effortless, and layering is a crucial option for creating a look, evoking an attitude of making dressing at your most put-together "easy." Some items are more accessible to build around than others. For pieces that pose a more significant challenge, remember to keep your proportions, textures, and silhouettes in mind; continue to mix, match, and be creative. This week, Melrose does just that by showcasing six different layered looks for the contemporary woman in various settings.

Sequins and pleather/leather are what's in for fall 2023. Glamour never dies when you shine above the rest, especially in the most elegant or even more scandalous ways. This week, we at Melrose are excited for the weather to change finally and for October (spooky season). If you're the type that needs an excuse to find pieces you wouldn't usually purchase, spooky season is your sign, and we have the fashion you're looking for, featuring full-on sequin sets, tops, and pleather pieces; don't forget to add some rhinestones and silver for the trends this season. Check out our styles below for some nightlife and party outfit inspiration.

At Melrose, our customers are always searching for the latest fashion trends. We're excited to incorporate Ed Hardy's unique designs into our collection. Ed Hardy is a renowned brand known for its unique tattoo-inspired designs. With early 2000s fashion pieces like baby tees, wide-leg flare jeans, and loose tailoring currently a trending staple, Ed Hardy fits into the Y2K subculture boom. Read more below about Don Ed Hardy, his brand, work, and the styles we created with bootcut jeans, cargo pants, and a parachute skirt using Ed Hardy short-sleeved crop tops we have available in store.

Ditch the summer colors and embrace the darkness and new trends. New fall outfits trickle in all of our Melrose locations, from dark colors to long-sleeved shirts. Our introduction to fall looks doesn't include layers yet, but we have trending fashions such as red items, a parachute skirt, cargo pants, and a Melrose trending color, hunter green.
