As style editors, we’re in tune with the fluctuation of clothing prices like the moon is with the tides. And though we’re still a few days away from the peak online shopping event, the best early Black Friday clothing deals have given way to the waves of sales yet to come.
Firstly, Everlane’s Black Friday sale means nearly everything is up to 50% off. Then, there’s Madewell with 40% off (again, nearly) everything. It’s a symphony for stylish people who like their elevated basics at a discount.
If you’re keen on shopping the most savvy sale-on-sale deals, there’s still a short while until they kick off. In the meantime, several fashion brands are putting up new markdowns by the day. So, let’s get to it: here are the best Black Friday deals (thus far) on clothes, shoes, bags, and whatever you need to hit your style stride.
The best Black Friday shoe deals
When you shop for shoes from department stores like Nordstrom or Zappos early, you’ll find a daily rotation of new styles leading up to Black Friday. We’ve also scouted comfortable walking shoes, cozy clogs, and a discount on some of the best flats we’ve tested. If you see your size and favorite color are still in stock, don’t hesitate.
UGG New Heights Clog
The New Heights suede clogs are a prime example of “cottagecore” fall fashion. On the inside is a microfiber sock liner, so you can dress them up with tube socks or wear them barefoot.
Madewell The Zane Knee-High Boot in Leather
These sophisticated leather boots are well-suited for nearly any occasion, be it a trip to the office or a night out with friends. The 2.5-inch stacked heel adds a nice boost in height—that is, without needing to sacrifice on comfort.
Rothy’s The Casual Clog
Rothy’s clogs might be one of our executive editor’s most-worn pairs of shoes. She swears by these for errands, lounging around the house, coffee runs, and more.
Rothy’s The Point Mary Jane II
“These are a major upgrade compared to Rothy’s original Mary Janes,” says Gabrielle. “The strap is now more refined and the pointed toe box feels a bit roomier.”
Allbirds Tree Breezers
These pliable flats come in less colors than Rothy’s, but still beat them in terms of comfort. They have sneaker-like support in their footbeds and take zero break-in time.
Margaux The Heel
The Margaux Heel is a favorite because it’s a block heel that’s minimal and pairs well with skirts, denim and dresses, They’re the type of heel you go for when stillettos aren’t you’re go to choice of shoe.
Madewell The Greta Ballet Flat
If you want to see a comment section full of enthusiasm and exclamation points, check out the hundreds of reviews for these flats. Hailed as comfortable and versatile by both narrow-footed and wide-footed people alike, these flats could be the shoe you’ve been searching for.
Allbirds Women’s Couriers
These retro-inspired sneakers are made with responsibly sourced, high-quality materials, creatively crafted into a pair of walking shoes that you can wash and wear for the seasons ahead.
The best Black Friday handbag deals
For all the purse girls who aim to save whatever money fits in their handbag, Black Friday is a prime opportunity to find rare Black Friday Coach deals. A more affordable alternative among our favorite purse brands is JW Pei, now marked down to the same degree we saw on Prime Day.
Over at Madewell, there’s 40% off leather crossbody bags when you use the code “MADEBETTER.” Check our guide to the best Madewell Black Friday deals to keep up with how the discounts evolve throughout the week.
Coach Soft Tabby Shoulder Bag
This denim-and-gold-accented Tabby in the large size is a modern revival of a 1970s design. It can be worn as a shoulder bag, a crossbody, or a top-handle bag.
Lo & Sons The Aoyama
“The vertical side pocket means I never have to swing it off my shoulder to root around for my phone,” says associate style editor Gabrielle Chase about this four-in-one bag.
JW Pei Women’s Carly Saddle Bag
From one of our favorite purse brands, the JW Pei Women’s Carly Saddle Bag is made of vegan leather and comes in over a dozen colors, so you’re sure to find an option that complements your favorite outfits.
Madewell The Essential Bucket Tote
Beloved by style mavens and celebrities alike, this roomy bucket bag combines functionality and style with savvy features like a magnetic closure, interior pocket, and adjustable shoulder strap. Choose from eight chic hues, and for an extra-personal touch, opt to have yours monogrammed.
Our favorite cashmere on sale, plus the top knitwear deals
As our resident cashmere enthusiast (everyone else on the team is allergic), I’ve tested a lot of sweaters, from entry-level to luxury grade. Still, the brand impressed me the most for its price point is Naadam. The Naadam Black Friday sale currently has supremely soft knits for 40% off, but this could go up to 50% off once Black Friday is officially on.
Another hot-spot for cashmere, Jenni Kayne’s Black Friday event now has 25% off everything, from her coveted preppy-chic apparel to an array of elegant West Coast-inspired furniture. I tried the Cropped Cocoon Cardigan myself, and it really does feel “cloud soft.”
Madewell Cashmere Relaxed Crewneck Sweater
Despite how lightweight it looks and feels, this sweater offers plenty of warmth and comfort thanks to its luxe cashmere construction. The ribbed trim adds an extra-chic touch, while the relaxed fit makes it suitable for everyday wear.
Everlane The Square Neck in Cashmere
This slim-fitting, slightly cropped sweater is made from recycled cashmere. It comes in black or a very pretty pale pink and has a flattering scoop neckline.
Black Friday sales on jeans, work pants, and comfortable bottoms
Wide-leg jeans are the pants of the moment. You’ll see them styled with sneakers, flats, or loafers — without fail, they look cool. Our top overall choice we tested is The OG Baggy Jean, which is 50% off during Everlane’s Black Friday sale. For premium stretchy work pants, see our guide to the best Spanx Black Friday deals.
Everlane The Dream Pant
This double-knit fabric has a flat finish, so it looks polished but is still comfortable enough to nap in. The stretchy fabric and elastic waistband are unbelievably comfortable and wrinkle-proof, while the pintuck detail keeps them smart.
Spanx PerfectFit Ponte Flare Pant
The material is a comfortable, versatile, and machine-washable Ponte fabric that’s smoothing but not constricting, similar to yoga pants. They come in petite, regular, and tall lengths in sizes XS – 3X.
Everlane The OG Baggy Jean
Baggy jeans are back. We love Everlane’s iteration with its roomy waist and wide leg for a comfy, loose fit.
Madewell Low-Slung Baggy Jeans
We’re in a trend cycle of dropping waistlines and less structure — and these are the jeans that epitomize our current aesthetic.
The best Black Friday coat and jacket deals
Between parkas and puffers from brands like The North Face, your going-out look needs something with a longline silhouette that complements what’s underneath and keeps out the cold. For this, we’re scouting heavyweight wool blends from Cole Haan, Kenneth Cole, and the like from Saks Off Fifth, where you can take an extra 50% off outerwear with the code “HOLIDAY.”
Abercrombie & Fitch Ultra Puffer
“I’ve been buying Abercrombie & Fitch winter coats for years, and I’ve never been disappointed in a purchase,” says freelance writer Talia Ergas. “The Ultra Puffer turned out to be everything I hoped for. The puffiness is balanced nicely by the short silhouette and luxurious faux fur accents. I also love that the bottom hem is elastic, so it hugs my hips and keeps the cold out.”
Frank and Oak Capital Parka
Fully waterproof and seam-sealed, this jacket is fortified with vegan PrimaLoft, a fleece-lined collar to prevent chafing, waist adjustment, and even a media pocket inside with a headphone cord hole.
Madewell The Alonzo Coat
This alpaca-wool blend longline top coat is a weighty, substantial outer layer for cold-weather commutes.
