Devoted fashion fans, we’re going to provide you with the ultimate guide to shopping Black Friday, getting the best deals and biggest discounts. Remember that episode of Friends when Monica goes wedding dress shopping and Rachel gets trampled over the other shoppers? Yep, that’s how Black Friday sales used to feel. BUT, looking on the 2020 bright side, at least this year you can recline and shop online! The only stipulation? You can’t take all the good stuff without leaving some for us…
Take a targeted approach
The biggest sale of the year can bring out the impulse buyer in all of us which, if you’re not careful, can lead to a LOT of clothes you’ll never wear and an empty bank balance. Instead, start by going through your wardrobe and deciding what’s missing, what could do with replacing and what events you’ve got coming up – you’ll need an outfit for Christmas Day, obv. We’ve also written a handy guide on clearing out your closet, so you’ve got no excuse…
Make a wishlist
Once you’ve identified the items you want (and by want, we mean need), make a good old-fashioned list. Sounds restrictive, but if you go in knowing what you’re looking for, you’re less likely to go rogue and more likely to end up with great new wardrobe additions. Whether you’re using our mobile app or computer to shop the site, you can click the little heart on products to automatically add these to your digital wishlist– handy huh?
Use the search bar & filter by size
If you’re a shopper that gets sucked in by all the great deals, it’s time to stay savvy and make use of all the tools available. The search bar is your new best friend; wishlist in hand, go forth and search for the key items you’re after and secure the best offers without the scrolling. Similar to using the search bar, filtering by size will save you time and disappointment if items aren’t in stock. ‘Cos you’ve got better things to do, like plan outfits around all your new clothes…
Experiment with new styles
If you’re attending Black Friday as more of a casual spectator, now is the perfect time to experiment with your style. Since everything is discounted, *squeals*, you can try out new looks and trends at a fraction of the cost. If you’re a dress only kinda gal, mix it up with some cute co-ords. Only ever wear trainers? Treat yourself to some chunky boots. Strictly a denim jean wearer? Try out some faux leather trousers.
Think of others
There’s an extra benefit to all the offers landing right before Christmas; what better time to pick up the perfect prezzies for your fave people (and maybe a little something for you too). Suss out what your fave ladies in your life will be asking Santa for and seek them out. Told ya, lists are handy! Check out the latest Miss S gift ideas to take out the hard work; less thinking = more shopping.
So there you have it, our guide to shopping Black Friday and Cyber Monday in style. You’re now well equipped to shop the sales like a pro and scoop up all the best buys. You can thank us later…
