Zara’s Black Friday sale is one of the best shopping events of the year – here’s what I’m buying

Black Friday week is here and Zara is hosting promotions on jackets, blazers, party wear and more - (Zara)

Zara’s Black Friday event always piques my interest. As someone who writes about fashion for a living, I know this is one of the best opportunities to refresh your wardrobe without stretching your budget.

Whether you’re searching for a new winter coat or affordable cashmere, Zara’s Black Friday sale rarely disappoints. The high street favourite is a go-to for style staples, with everything from classic white T-shirts and elevated knitwear to party-ready dresses and on-trend accessories. Many of these hero pieces are often included in the Black Friday markdowns – in previous years, shoppers have seen discounts of up to 40 per cent across the entire site.

With this year’s sale fast approaching, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for even more competitive reductions, especially on faux fur coats, tie-neck blouses and runway-inspired pieces to lift any winter look. My top tip? Stay ahead of the rush by downloading the Zara app before the sale begins, as early-access offers often appear there first.

Below, you’ll find key dates, early deals and everything else you need to know. I’ll be updating prices and adding new offers in the lead-up to – and throughout – Zara’s Black Friday sale.

The faux fur detailing on this coat elevates it beyond your simple leather jacket. While I’ve not tested this exact design, it looks like the perfect winter staple, whether styled with jeans or thrown over a little black dress. Right now, you can save £15.

Zara rubberised embroidered puffer jacket: Was £49.99, now £25.99, Zara.com

If you're looking to channel higher-end brands such as Kitri or Damson Madder for less, Zara's take on the quilted jacket trend will be sure to take your fancy. Now half price, it's available in all sizes. It's crafted in the colour of the season – chocolate brown – with subtle motifs. The oversized pockets are sure to come in handy and, paired with a mini kilt and a pair of knee-high boots, your evening attire will have never looked better.

Zara buttoned knit waistcoat: Was £29.99, now £17.99, Zara.com

(Zara)

Butter yellow has been the trending colour of 2025, and now you can carry it into autumn with this buttoned knit waistcoat. I love the leather-effect buttons and flared hem, which will sit perfectly with a slim-fitting skirt or trousers. You can wear it during the colder months over a long-sleeve blouse or sleeveless in the summer.

Zara poplin shirt with buttons: Was £25.99, now £15.99, Zara.com

(Zara)

A neutral shirt is a firm wardrobe staple, but this one has extra appeal thanks to the floaty cut and wide, open collar. The pale yellow finish gives it a vintage feel and the slightly cropped cut will be perfect for tucking into jeans or layering under knitwear. Reduced to just £15.99, it’s a steal.

Zara wool grey cardigan: Was £55.99, now £29.99, Zara.com

(Zara)

A staple knit for winter weather, this cardigan boasts a stylish V-neck silhouette and a relaxed cut. Crafted from 100 per cent wool for a warm and cosy fit, the piece is excellent value for money at less than £30. The gold buttons give it an extra luxe look, too. Whether shrugged over your shoulders or styled with a mini skirt and boots, this cardigan offers plenty of styling versatility.

Zara faux suede jacket with braided trim: Was £59.99, now £32.99, Zara.com

(Zara)

Suede jackets are here to stay but they can be pricey. So I’ve got my eye on this cropped faux suede design from Zara. The braided trim and dark beige colour give a nod to the Seventies, plus the high, round neck feels super chic. Right now, there’s 45 per cent off at Zara, bringing down the price of the jacket to just £32.99.

Zara the wide leg jeans: Was £29.99, now £19.99, Zara.com

(Zara)

Forget luxury denim labels, Zara has long been my favourite for jeans that fit like a glove. A steal at just £19,99 in the sale, this pair comes complete with an on-trend wide-leg cut, flattering high waist and vintage-inspired blue wash. Some of my Zara jeans are still going strong after more than five years, so you can rest assured this budget pair should be an excellent wardrobe investment.

Zara ZW collection striped flowing shirt: Was £29.99, now £19.99, Zara.com

(Zara)

Zara always delivers a strong collection of reliable basics, with many on offer, including this striped blue-and-white shirt. Roll up the cuffs for a more casual look or dress it up with a pair of pointed heels in the evening. If you prefer a more neutral colour palette, it’s also available in brown and white.

Zara wool vest with gold buttons: Was £35.99, now £17.99, Zara.com

(Zara)

Vests are autumn-winter staples, versatile enough to layer over a classic white tee, or under an oversized blazer. This one has been elevated with its strip of gold buttons, while the 100 per cent wool make-up ensures the style will last for years to come with proper care (stay away from the tumble dryer). Plus, with 50 per cent off in Zara's sale ahead of Black Friday, now's the time to invest in your cold-weather wardrobe.

Zara jumper with wool and alpaca: Was £35.99, now £19.99, Zara.com

Featuring a round neck and made with wool and alpaca, this grey jumper will certainly keep you warm during the cold season. Right now, it has a 44 per cent saving, taking it down to £19.99 from £35.99.

Zara ruffled knit cardigan: Was £32.99, now £17.99, Zara.com

This plain knit cardigan is perfect for an autumn-winter staple. Featuring ruffle trims and front button fastening, it’s a stylish option that keeps you warm too. And with 45 per cent off in the Black Friday sale, this is now down to £17.99 from £32.99.

ZW Collection faux shearling double-faced jacket: Was £89.99, now £59.99, Zara.com

This jacket is available in two colours – mid-camel and dark brown – both at the same sale price. A staple for those cold, wintry days, this jacket is high necked and long sleeved to keep you feeling cosy. And it’s £30 cheaper in the Black Friday sale.

Zara short water-repellent and windproof hooded anorak: Was £49.99, now £25.99, Zara.com

This water- and wind-resistant jacket is ideal for cold, wet days. Padded with thermal insulation, it features a high neck, an adjustable drawstring hood, and long sleeves with inner cuffs to lock in warmth. It’s designed to keep you comfortable in temperatures ranging from 7C during low activity to -22C for moderate activity, and it's now almost half price.

When is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday 2025 officially kicks off this Friday 28 November, and runs through to Cyber Monday on 1 December. While many brands dropped their deals at the start of November, Zara typically waits until Black Friday itself to kick off its event. I’ll be updating this page regularly over the final four days of lead-up and again over the Black Friday weekend itself, so you can stay on top of the best Black Friday Zara deals as soon as they go live.

What deals can you expect from Zara’s Black Friday sale?

If previous years are anything to go by, I’m expecting hundreds of deals to drop on the Zara app and website during Black Friday. The high street store uses the sale to get rid of all its leftover stock from the previous season, to make room for new pieces. As such, you can save on party-season dresses and heels, as well as winter coats, boots and jumpers, men’s and women’s jeans, accessories, bags and everyday staples such as T-shirts, vests and bodysuits. Landing in time to refresh your winter wardrobe for the season ahead, there’s also surplus summer stock in the sale if you’re looking ahead to the warmer months.
