If, like us, your fashion wish list is never-ending, Black Friday is the time to tick off new buys. As the biggest sale of the year, the shopping bonanza sees all our favourite labels taking part, from Asos and Zara to Skims, Mango and AllSaints.
Kicking off on Friday 24 November, the four-day event runs throughout the weekend before concluding on Cyber Monday (the online-only day of the sale). This means there’s not long to wait, and we couldn’t be more excited.
As well as offering up to 50 per cent off high-street collections, Black Friday sees heavy discounts across designer sites (think MatchesFashion, Mytheresa, Selfridges and Net-a-Porter), so it’s your best chance to save on investment pieces.
The perfect excuse to revamp your wardrobe ahead of the new year or buy gifts ready for Christmas, the mammoth sale should be on every fashion fiend’s radar. If you can’t wait to start bargain hunting, we’ve got good news – some retailers have kicked off their sales already (we’re looking at you, John Lewis and Very).
From the dates to bookmark to the best early Black Friday deals across clothing and jewellery, here’s everything you need to know.
The best early Black Friday fashion and jewellery deals
Arket cotton jumper: Was £69, now £41, Arket.com
Arket’s striped jumper is a style set favourite each autumn and winter thanks to its laidback style and breton style finish. Boasting a V-neckline and wide open collar, it’s stitched from a blend of cotton and Milano rib. Finished in a horizontal black and ecru wide stripe, the jumper is the perfect staple for your cold weather wardrobe.
Converse Chuck Taylor all star leather hi-top: Was £70, now £53.75, Very.co.uk
Converse trainers, particularly the classic Chuck Taylor style, never go out of fashion. Luckily for those looking to invest, you can save nearly £20 on the white pair in Very’s Black Friday sale. In our review of the all star hi-tops, our writer said: “The classic Chuck Taylors with OG thin rubber sole are mostly unchanged since its creation more than 100 years ago. With its lightweight and durable upper canvas, as well as added airflow with the metal eyelets, it’s no surprise they’re a staple.”

The cold weather arriving means we can finally invest in a coat to carry us through the season in style. This H&M number is reduced by 20 per cent and is the perfect layer to wrap up in this autumn.

Bomber jackets aren’t going anywhere this season, and Zara’s affordable styles are some of the best on the high street. Case in point: this grey jacket, which is now reduced by nearly 30 per cent. The jacket features a round collar, long sleeves and an elasticated trim, with front pockets and a zip completing the design. We love the gathered hem, which gives the piece some structure, while the inner lining will provide extra warmth.
