I spend the majority of my day browsing retailers, keeping tabs on what’s new and what’s marked down, adding things to my ever-growing wish list. When the early Black Friday deals break, I like to be a little more strategic about what makes it into my cart—and that generally starts with recommendations from my fellow Vogue editors.
Vogue Editors’ Favorite Early Black Friday Finds:
This year, I’m using the first promotions as an opportunity to invest in pieces I know I’ll wear on repeat, from Khaite’s deep indigo jeans to Arma’s sandy suede blazer and Aeyde’s little black boots that go with just about everything—all handpicked by yours truly.
I’m also making notes of what Vogue shopping editors are eyeing, whose wish lists are filled with luxe outerwear, cozy cold-weather accessories, and all manner of covetable footwear. From the holiday shopping deals worth snagging now to the pieces we’re hoping will be marked down next, consider this your head start on early Black Friday deals scouting before the main event.
The Everyday Uniform
“The early deals are the best place to look before the madness of Black Friday kicks in. I was thrilled to find this suede Arma blazer within Net-a-Porter’s markdowns in my size, along with Khaite’s indigo denim and Aeyde’s little black boot—essentially the components of my everyday fall uniform. I can never have enough black cashmere turtlenecks in the winter, and I’m investing now in Lisa Yang’s perfectly slouchy silhouette at Shopbop—especially since it’s still full price elsewhere.” —Kristina Rutkowski, contributor
