Looking for the best Black Friday clothing deals in 2021? Yup, us too: the event is just around the corner and there's A LOT to on our wishlist this year.

Black Friday is the best time of year to shop for decent clothing deals. Not only does it occur before Christmas, which is great for gifting, but it's usually when you can get the best blanket discounts (sometimes up to 30%). Which means, new-season steals, baby! Yup, you can finally get in there before your size has sold out and only the dregs of the clearance remain – no more fighting over the last size 12.

We've always recommended y'all swap pavement pounding for online browsing. Obvs, in previous years, we didn't really have a choice because Black Friday occurred during lockdown but we loved how chill it was, tbh. Who doesn't like shopping smugly from the comfort of their own sofa, skipping the queues and avoiding the chaos?

Still, it doesn't hurt to be prepared. Why not start browsing now and compile your wish list? It's essential to go straight for the kill on Black Friday, so you don't get distracted by those sparkly stiletto sandals when you actually need a new coat (or, maaaybe, just buy both?).

Navigate the vast new-in pages now with our helpful guide to the best Black Friday fashion sales and clothing deals in 2022.

When is Black Friday 2022?

Black Friday always falls on the last weekend of November which, this year, is the 25th. From our experience, clothes shopping is a little easier than tech or beauty, because there's less of a panic.

What even is Black Friday?

Black Friday kickstarted in '30s America when the department store Macy's cashed in on the annual Thanksgiving Day parade (if you love Gossip Girl, you'll remember Dan and Serena watching it on TV in season six). The term 'Black Friday' wasn't officially coined until years later, with the event becoming more of a thang during the big capitalist years of the '80s (ya know, Working Girl, Wall Street bankers and, um, all the independent ladies reading Cosmopolitan).

FYI, it's always been manic AF, that's why we prefer to shop online from the comfort of our homes. Amazon was the first retailer to bring Black Friday over to the UK, offering customers online discounts and deals on the same day as the sales in the US. Supermarket Asda was next, creating some serious fuss (and physical fights, for real) with huge discounts on TVs and tech in-store. Soon the rest of the UK caught on to the potential pre-Christmas profit and the rest is history.

Mango switches things up when it comes to Black Friday deals. In 2019 customers could get 30% off all full price pieces, but in 2020 there was 50% off on selected lines at Mango. Last year was even better: with up to 50% off absolutely everything on the site.

Here at Cosmo we're on the look out for Christmas party dresses, shearling winter coats and some of the brand's sell-out knee high boots.

Last year Missoma's Black Friday sale was a goodie, the site had up to 25% off it's jewellery including the coveted Harris Reed collection and Kate Middleton's Fashion Director-approved earrings.

Missoma is one of the few that actually 'gives back' on Black Friday, teaming up with the charity Tree Sisters to ensure that one tree is planted for every order. Black Friday is harsh on the environment, so it's nice to see brands thinking about ways to be more sustainable.

If you're super interested in how this process works, Missoma is being transparent and letting customers track the carbon offsetting process. The team is working with climate tech platform Vaayu to calculate and offset the carbon from all deliveries and returns in real-time.

Mejuri's Black Friday deals are nearly here. And, if last year is anything to go off, we are expecting some good things. Back in 2021 customers got 20% off if they spent £100 on jewellery.

The label, loved by the likes of Bella Hadid, Selena Gomez, Kate Hudson and Cara Delevigne, is one of the biggest names in demi-fine jewellery atm. We like how the price points are accessible (especially if you go for plated metals) but each piece feels really special. Not only that, they're more sustainable than most: crafted with recycled and responsibly mined gold, and set with ethically sourced diamonds and AAA-grade gemstones.
