There are just a few days to go until Black Friday and Cyber Monday (they fall on November 29th and December 2nd this year - mark it in your diaries) but the savviest of shoppers will be keen to plan ahead before the big event later this week.

Whether you’re thinking of indulging in a spot of self-gifting or are keenly getting ahead on your Christmas shopping, there will no doubt be tonnes of bargains to be found over the highly-anticipated discounted shopping weekend.

It’s all too easy to get carried away when bargain-hunting, particularly with almost too-good-to-be-true offers like these, but the key to shopping without impulse and regret is to plan: What do you actually need? Were you planning to buy it before it went on sale? Would you pay full price for it? If the answers are yes then shop away!

We’ve put together a shopping list of the best things to look out for at a host of high street stores to keep you on the straight and narrow. Better get adding to your e-wishlists…

For workwear

Classic workwear rarely goes into the summer or Christmas sales, so you won’t regret snapping up timeless pieces that you can wear now to refresh your workwear wardrobe. Opt for chic separates: avoid bold prints that’ll date quickly, and quirky cuts to ensure your buys stand the test of time.

H&M

Discount: Up to 50% online and in-store

What to buy: H&M's Black Friday offering has been one of the best on the high street in recent years: though it doesn't do a blanket discount across all items, the pieces that are discounted often have the prices slashed in half.

Knitwear is a department it excels in - particularly in its sustainable collection, Conscious - so be ready to stock up come Black Friday as the prices are likely to be irresistible.

Zara

Discount: Up to 20% off selected items

What to buy: Last year, that selection included outerwear and boots: handy, as they're the cornerstones of most of our winter wardrobes. Though the weather has plummeted, it's worth holding out in case the brand discounts this same selection this year.

What to buy: Sunspel's lambswool crew necks are a stealth buy that fashion editors love. They come in a range of colours and styles, but if you like an oversized fit, hit the men's section for a loose merino wool knits.
