Black Friday Clothing Deals FAQ
This year in the US, Black Friday is on Friday, November 29, which is a day after Thanksgiving. But as expected, retailers and brands far and wide are launching massive sales before the big day.
Cyber Monday falls on Monday, December 2. Note that most sales will extend through the end of the week, but that won’t be a given.
Are clothing deals better on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer equally good clothing deals. Plan for large retailers and more-established brands to offer deals on Black Friday, and smaller menswear boutiques to hold out for Cyber Monday. As a baseline, expect the better Black Friday sales to start at 20% off and go upwards from there. In the lead up to Black Friday, also be on the lookout for the coveted sale on sale, which has become the norm in recent years.
