Black Friday Might Be Over But the Incredible Deals Live Rent Free in My Head

Black Friday has been and gone, but we're already thinking ahead to 2025. While some of the deals we outlined might still be valid (if you're very, very lucky!), scroll on to read more about Black Friday 2025, and why it—and any other sale moment—is the ideal time to invest in beauty.

Following the frenzy of Black Friday this year, I feel as broken as my inbox, where every every brand you've ever shown interest in sent alert after alert about offers and promotions. Not to mention the TV and social media ads that now live rent-free in my mind. It's enough to make you want a full-blown digital detox. However, now that the dust has settled, I'm actually a little sad—Black Friday 2024 was incredible with some of the best deals I've seen (and I've been doing this for a long, long time). So, in preparation for and anticipation of Black Friday 2025, I'm arming you with essential tips to cut through the chaos and help you find the best clothing deals on sale. And let's just say I take my role of guiding you away from any tempting sale traps and towards the worthy, genuinely money-saving deals very seriously!

My qualifications? You could say I'm a shopping expert. I've been a fashion editor and stylist responsible for picking out the very best buys from a sea of products for over a decade now, and my speciality is timeless wardrobe classics (the kind you don't regret buying in sales). Each year, I check in on hundreds of deals every hour to bring you the very best of the best. Being a Who What Wear UK editor also comes with plenty of insider knowledge, so you can rest assured we have (and will be keeping you updated on) the dates and details of the best clothing deals from the early Black Friday sales right through to the end of Cyber Monday.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday weekend is an annual sale shopping event that originated in the US. It marks the end of Thanksgiving and the start of the festive shopping season, resulting in the majority of well-known—and even, in recent years, smaller—brands and retailers heading into a period sale for a full four days.

When Is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday will fall on Friday 28 November 2025, and you can expect deals across the whole weekend and into Cyber Monday, which falls on Monday 1 December 2025. Our editors will be busy compiling the best of the Black Friday savings, whether it be clothing deals or beauty tools deals for you.

When does Black Friday 2025 end?

Black Friday sales tend to run over the weekend and end on Cyber Monday, which will fall on Monday 1 December 2025.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is the final day of sales of the Black Friday sales period. In 2025 it will be Monday 1 December, and is typically the last chance to snap up savings.

When is Cyber Monday?

In 2025, Cyber Monday lands on Monday 1 December, and we expect this to be the final day of sales for the Black Friday Weekend.

My Tips for Shopping Black Friday Fashion Deals:

When it comes to shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories on Black Friday, you'll likely want to find classic pieces that have been slightly out of reach previously, or hard-working basics that are missing from your wardrobe and were already on your list (such as a new winter coat or pair of boots). With all our purse strings a little tighter this year, these sales can also be a great time to get started on your gift buying or kick off your partywear wardrobe. Whatever you're looking for, it's all about investing in considered, thought-through purchases that won't give you a pang of guilt when you see your bank statement in December.

Of course, our team of expert Who What Wear editors have also been deep-diving into the specific deals to help guide you on the best pieces to buy. If it's specifically affordable clothing finds you're after, don't miss this round-up of the Black Friday buys on our editors' wish lists. If you've been caught off guard by this oncoming cold snap and still need a winter coat, here's our edit of the best outerwear deals. If it's impressive beauty bargains on your list, you'll need to read all about our beauty editor's unmissable sale picks, as well as her tips on finding the best discounts on beauty tools. And if you're using the sales as an opportunity to do a spot of Christmas shopping (a wise move), I've found some incredible savings on gorgeous gifts to help you along the way.

The Deals and Sales That Impressed Me Most Last Black Friday:

The Best Black Friday Clothing Deals and Codes I Saw

SHOP THE BEST BLACK FRIDAY CLOTHING DEALS, BY BRAND:

COS BLACK FRIDAY SALE

The COS sale had up to 60% off a selection of its best-selling wardrobe staples—from perfect white shirts to chic knits, winter coats and even the brand's famously good wide-leg trousers.

Shop the COS sale:

REFORMATION BLACK FRIDAY SALE

If you asked every editor on our team what their favourite Black Friday sale was, I'm pretty sure we'd all say Reformation. The brand rarely does discounts but for Black Friday it went all out offering 25% off everything on site (the best kind of sale). We always have Reformation items on our wish lists as fashion editors, so there's no better time to head to the checkout than Black Friday. From the celeb-loved dresses, to its famously good wide-leg Mason pants (which come in petite and extended sizes too), responsible knitwear (I've just checked out with the Clara cardigan) and dream boots (Remy are the perfect knee-highs in my opinion).

Shop the Reformation sale:

HARRODS BLACK FRIDAY SALE

We all know Harrods is the destination for luxury buys, and I can recommend heading there to treat yourself (or your loved ones) to winter investment buys (there's so many great designer bags), luxe eveningwear and seriously special gifts in the run-up to the festive period. Until the 4th of December, Harrods has up to 30% off selected pieces.

WHISTLES BLACK FRIDAY SALE

Whistles manages to nail those expensive-looking classics that we keep in regular rotation for many years, making it a brand that fashion editors turn to again and again to bolster their wardrobes.

In 2024 there was 20% off everything on site or savings of 25% when spending over £250. My advice? Invest in their beautiful leather.

DEMELLIER BLACK FRIDAY SALE

DeMellier bags have become the accessory of choice for fashion people and editors (we're currently obsessed on the Who What Wear desk, and you can read our round-up of our favourite DeMellier bags here). Whilst their sale was open to the masses, the brand offered 20% off Black Friday discount with code WWW20. The best part? They're not as wildly expensive as they look. In fact we'd class these beautiful "quiet luxury" bags as being relatively affordable in the handbag world.
