Shopping with my mum has always been one of my favourite activities. At 58, with decades of fashion experience behind her, she has an incredible eye for pieces that feel considered yet slightly unexpected. She knows a great investment buy when she sees one, isn’t afraid of trend-led high-street finds if they feel timeless enough to work in her wardrobe, and happily takes risks without ever compromising her sense of style (which she has, naturally, perfected). She’s the ideal shopping partner and the only person whose approval I seek before committing to something in my basket.
Sale shopping is no different, and this Black Friday, I was excited to scroll through some of our favourite brands together to see what they had to offer. Spoiler alert: there’s a lot of goodness out there. And while we’re not advocates for buying just because something is discounted, we are always on the lookout for pieces that feel genuinely worth the investment—especially with a well-timed price drop. Note: this doesn't just apply to fashion! There are also some fantastic Black Friday 2025 beauty deals that my mum and I are eyeing up, too.
So here we are, ready to navigate the 2025 Black Friday sales and focus only on the true best of the best. After comparing notes, debating the merits of a few contenders and refining our shared wish list, we feel confident about what deserves a spot in our wardrobes. So, without further ado, scroll on to see the pieces my mum and I are eyeing up for Black Friday 2025.
See the Black Friday 2025 Buys My 58-Year-Old Mum and I Both Love:
This cardigan is so chic, and looks just perfect paired with dark-wash denim.
The perfect black blouse for year-round wear.
My mum and I both want to try this after reading the Who What Wear UK beauty team's rave review!
We both firmly believe that Black Friday is the perfect time to invest in a new winter coat and this gorgeous collarless style is one of the best we've seen.
I've had these on my wish list for years and now I am finally going to take the plunge! Think how cute they will look with denim, dresses and skirts.
I'm cheating here as I actually already own these incredibly comfortable jeans.
My mum is after a practical tote bag, and we think this is the one!
It's rare that LED masks go on sale so if you're thinking of investing in one this year, now is your chance.
I think Christmas came early for me with this buy! An instant add to basket.
My mum and I think deep khaki is one of the most elegant colours going.
Ok, another item I already own! But now, so does my mum...She just got it at a much nicer price!
Like most people, we love this blusher, so are using Black Friday as an excuse to try a new shade.
COS's Black Friday sale is one that, every year, we wait for with bated breath so we can stock up on fantastic basics like this merino top.
Simply stunning. And so expensive looking.
The most luxurious winter accessory.
This timeless bucket bag is such am investment, yes, but it's a style that will literally never date and that I know will go with everything in my wardrobe, forever!
A slightly more trend-led piece but my mum and I both think this jacket looks so expensive.
I'll be wearing this on Christmas Eve for sure!
The colour, the shape, the handle... this gets a big yes from us.
Time to stock up on our favourite skin tint!
Cashmere rarely goes on sale, so you best believe we're snapping this up.
