They say the things you love the most will hurt you the most, and this is certainly true for fashion which causes serious damage to our bank accounts.
But this doesn’t always have to be the case. Black Friday is nearly upon us, meaning style savants and clothing connoisseurs can fill their online baskets with piles of discounted pieces.
Of course, we want to be mindful when shopping during the sales. Before purchasing, think to yourself, do you really need it? Will you re-wear it? Is it so wonderful that you will simply cease to exist without having it in your life, or will you survive? If the answer is yes, then go nuts.
Black Friday favours fashion lovers, thanks to the endless array of deals on offer. From high street to high end, there are tempting price slashes on menswear and womenswear left, right and centre. Plus, accessories are often thrown into the mix, meaning you can treat your loved ones to a Prada bag or two just in time for Christmas. Hint hint, nod nod..
Maybe you need a glittering New Year’s Eve party dress, or a fresh new pair of kicks to see you through the next year. Either way, it’s always worth a scroll through the Black Friday sales to search for your dream wardrobe staple to last for years to come.
When is Black Friday?
November 24 is the date to know. Pencil it in your diaries and Google calendars to ensure you don’t miss out.
What is Black Friday?
In short, Black Friday is an explosion of sales from homeware to tech, fashion to beauty and more. The event originally started in the USA, but soon gained traction in the UK due to consumer demand for bigger price cuts before Christmas. Sales take place in stores and online, meaning you either need to dash to your local shopping centre or simply open your laptop to score some serious bargains.
When does Black Friday end?
Get ready to mourn the end of the sales on November 27. This is also known as Cyber Monday, the last day to bag some serious bargains.
What kind of fashion deals can we expect?
Ok, fashion fans, deep breaths. Taking into account the brands who engaged in Black Friday deals last year, you’re in for a treat. High-end names such as Matches, Farfetch, Flannels and The Outnet were just a handful of retailers promoting luxury discounts.
High street brands such as ASOS, Arket, John Lewis, Whistles and Weekday also took part in the sales.
Even independent shops hosted Black Friday deals, with coveted brands including Cinta The Label, Wolf & Badger, Reformation and Kitri indulging fans with irresistible price slashes.
Are there any fashion discounts available now?
There’s always a fashion discount or two waiting to be taken advantage of. We have already spied luxury sales on Matches, Net-A-Porter, Farfetch and many, many more.
