The Top 10 Best Early Black Friday Clothing Deals
Lillusory Loungewear Set
- Size range: S to XL
- #1 Bestseller in Women’s Pajama Sets
- Amazon Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.5/5 stars
What reviewers say: “This exceeded my expectations. The fabric is quite hefty without the garment feeling bulky. I purposely ordered a medium, even though I’m normally a petite small. It’s oversized for me but that’s the look I wanted. For the record, I’m 5’2″ and weigh 125. While the sleeve length is a little long, it’s not by much. The pant length hits just below my ankle bone but doesn’t brush the floor. I love the fact that it’s 45% cotton. It’s designed and sewn very well. Might have to get a couple more.”

What reviewers say: “I was skeptical to purchase after reading the only review. I saw a blogger post about this dress and so I decided to buy it. It is gorgeous! The fit is perfect and while yes, the sleeves can make it a little awkward to tie the back, it wasn’t a big deal to me as I can have someone help if needed. The fabric is beautiful and the color is amazing. I’m 5’3″ ~100 pounds and size 00 was perfect for me.”

What reviewers say: “Tried these on in the store and purchased! I thought they fit TTS (I’m usually a 27 in madewell jeans and that’s what I purchased in these; although I have a pair of the harlow trousers in a different fabric and got a 6 in those). The pleating is subtle and IMO very flattering, I’d consider myself “curvy” but thought these fit and looked great–surprisingly no waist gapping in the back!”

When is Black Friday 2023?
Every year, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. This year, it falls on November 24th, with sales running throughout the weekend and into Cyber Monday on November 27th. However, many of the early sales have already started in anticipation of the biggest shopping event of the year. So, to refresh your wardrobe for fall and winter, look to top fashion brands like Nordstrom, Old Navy, Everlane, and more for the best clothing deals.
Is Black Friday the Best Time to Buy Clothes?
Absolutely, Black Friday is a fantastic time to get steep savings on clothing and accessories. Whether you’re heading on a winter vacation, have a holiday party on the calendar, or are looking for clothing items to gift, our favorite online destinations make it easy to do so. While you may be enticed to buy fall and winter clothes during these sales, we recommend looking for discounted spring and summer clothing. Shopping for pieces like swimsuits, straw bags, flowy dresses, sandals, and more is a smart way to get your hands on pieces that most likely won’t sell out first and will have you prepared once the warmer weather rolls around.
Which Clothing Brands Have Best Black Friday Deals?
Based on last year’s Black Friday, these fashion brands will likely have the best Black Friday 2023 clothing deals:
- Skims Black Friday Sale: Last year, Skims’ Bi-Annual sale fell during Black Friday, and shoppers got to take 40 percent off the brand’s bestselling collections like the Soft Lounge, Cotton, Fits Everybody, and Seamless Sculpt. So, keep your eyes peeled for any Skims Black Friday updates because anytime the brand has a sale, the merchandise sells out almost instantly.
- Good American Black Friday Sale: We’re so glad the Good American Black Friday sale is a thing because we’re obsessed with the brand’s denim, flattering bodysuits, button-downs, and more. Any time Good American has a sale, it’s a big deal because they don’t come around that often. In past years, Good American fans could get 40 percent off the brand’s bestsellers. The good news? You don’t have to wait till November to score major discounts. You can now snag TikTok-viral jeans and shapewear for 20 percent off.
- Everlane Black Friday Sale: Whether your style leans bold or minimalist, Everlane is a fashion fanatic’s destination for the best wardrobe basics. So, on November 24, check out Everlane’s Black Friday sale, which will be around 50 percent off bestselling fleeces, outerwear, leggings, denim, and more. Per tradition, Everlane’s latest Black Friday sales have also benefited charities like TreePeople, helping you justify your purchase.
- Madewell Black Friday Sale: Madewell knows a thing or two about sales, and if its 2023 Black Friday sale is anything like the one it had last year, get ready, because you’ll be able to enjoy 50 percent off women’s jeans, fall dresses, oversized blazers, cute chunky sweaters and so much more. In the meantime, sign up for a Madewell account to take advantage of the brand’s 30 percent off Insider Sale.
- Gap Black Friday Sale: The 2022 Gap Black Friday sale was one of the largest discounts we’ve seen from the brand, with 50 percent off your purchase and an extra 10 percent off bonus discount on certain items. Top picks included the GapFit Full-Zip Jacket, Heeled Chelsea Boots, Faux-Leather Sherpa-Lined Moto Jacket, and Mid Rise True Skinny Jeans, so if any of those sounds like pieces that your wardrobe could use, make sure not to miss out on the major sale event.
- Old Navy Black Friday Sale: Old Navy is known for its discounts on several essentials, including jeans, T-shirts, everyday leggings, winter coats, and more. In previous years, the retailer has offered customers a generous 50 percent discount across its entire range, even including accessories and shoes, as well as jewelry. Since we’ll almost certainly see the same this year, it’s worth waiting until after Thanksgiving to do your shopping haul.
- Abercrombie Black Friday Sale: Yes, Abercrombie, the refreshed throwback fashion brand that has unexpectedly swept us away the past few years, has sales often. But its Black Friday sale is undoubtedly the best sale it has all year. Last year, it offered 30 percent off sitewide on top-sellers like Curve Love Jeans, vegan leather pants, cable-knit sweaters, and slip dresses.
