Yahoo Finance Best Black Friday clothing deals 2020: Early offers from Pandora, Calvin Klein and Lululemon OLD
This Black Friday event is set to be bigger than ever, as big-name brands are already slashing their prices in early bird sales.
While originally Black Friday was a flash sale that took place on the day after Thanksgiving in America, it quickly evolved to run through to the following Monday, also known as Cyber Monday, which was the online only day.
It’s since grown even more recently too, as many brands now hold pre-sales during the week leading up to 27 November (and some even before that), with early bird discounts.
Amazon has already set a new precedent this year, launching its sale a whole month before the big day. Read our guide for the best early Amazon deals to shop now.
Other retailers including Very, JD Sports, John Lewis & Partners, AO, Boots, O2 and Currys PC World also began earlier too.
As coronavirus continues, this year’s sale will move online, so you’ll only have virtual queues to contend with, rather than standing in the cold outside a physical store.
Whether you’re on the hunt for new loungewear, a warm winter coat or chunky black boots that will last you years, fashion often sees some of the biggest discounts, with retailers including Asos, Missoma, and Oliver Bonas expected to participate again this year. Below we’ve listed the early-bird deals to shop now and beat the rush.
Throughout the long weekend of sales and during the weeks leading up to the event, we’ll be bringing you the best deals to help you bag a bargain on everything from outerwear to underwear and everything in between, so ticking off your shopping list will be a breeze.
Our IndyBest team hand-picks every deal we feature. We may earn some commission from the links in this article, but our selections have been made independently and without bias. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent.

When is Black Friday?
The 2020 sale takes place on Friday 27 November and finishes on Cyber Monday, 30 November.
While the main event runs for a few days, we’re already expecting the longest lead-up ever, as big brands and retailers have already launched their early Black Friday deals weeks before the big day.
Amazon launched its early bird sale a whole month before Black Friday – two weeks earlier than last year – while other retailers such as John Lewis, Currys PC World, Boots and Superdrug have also started their sales.
The fashion Black Friday deals to expect
In 2019, shoppers were spoilt for choice, Asos had up to 70 per cent off more than 850 brands, Mango offered 30 per cent off everything sitewide and All Saints, loved for its leather pieces, too had 30 per cent off its whole site.
Elsewhere, fitness fans were able to enjoy up to 65 per cent off Adidas on everything from trainers to tracksuits, and Gym Shark dropping prices by up to 50 per cent across its women’s and menswear.
High street favourites, H&M also took part, with discounts of up to 20 per cent off selected lines on Black Friday and up to 50 per cent off for Cyber Monday too, while popular outdoors clothing company, The North Face, offered up to 25 per cent off some of its items.
Jewellery lovers also had their pick of the sales, with Missoma, whose demi-fine gold pieces have been worn by Meghan Markle, gave customers 25 per cent off everything when using the code “BF25”. Oliver Bonas too provided 25 per cent off selected lines, including jewellery, clothing and accessories.
How to get the best Black Friday fashion deals
To find the best deals, we will be rounding up the very best of the deals from top brands here, so check back closer to the time.
We think the key to making the most of this annual event is not getting sucked into discounts that look too good to be true.
Instead, come up with a list of products you're actually interested in before the big day. That way, you won’t buy things you don’t actually want, but look a good deal.
Shop around for the best price, and make sure you know the actual RRP of the product, so you’ll know a good deal when you see one.
Some retailers also start their sales early too, so keep your eyes peeled. Last year, & Other Stories’ email subscribers were given a pre-sale code to give them access to discount details the night before the shopping event launched. You can sign up here now.
Plenty of other brands do the same, so if you’ve got your eye on something, sign up to newsletters to get early notifications.
Here at IndyBest, our team will also be handpicking the biggest savings to shop throughout Black Friday, so make sure you check back here regularly. We’ll also be covering TVs, laptops, fashion, beauty and kids toys.
How long will the Black Friday discounts last?
Some retailers only run their sale from Black Friday (27 November) through to Cyber Monday (30 November). But most will also host pre-deals for the weeks leading up to the event. Amazon launched its sale a whole month before the big day this year, two weeks earlier than in 2019. We’re expecting other brands and retailers to follow suit.
As products tend to sell out, it’s worth writing a shopping list and setting your alarm to avoid impulse buys and to bag the best discounts on items you really need.
It’s not just fashion that’s getting involved however, read our round-up of all the brands participating in this year’s Black Friday sale, whether you’re on the lookout for kitchen gadgets, a new TV or a spot of early Christmas shopping.
