UPDATED: November 30, 8:45 AM: Bursting virtual carts are perks—and hazards—of every Vogue editors’ job. We literally stay up late scrolling our favorite retailers’ new arrivals drops, for fun. Fashion (and beauty, and home) is our passion, and although we adore a good splurge throughout the year, we prefer the best sales when looking for those coveted pieces for friends, family, and, of course, ourselves. Nearly every retailer is now offering something tempting for Black Friday—from Black Friday deals on clothing to markdowns on skincare and makeup—and it’s difficult to decide where to start the grand scroll. That’s where we step in.

When it comes to shopping sales I have a very strict approach to shopping. You have to, right? There are a lot of choices and it’s very easy to find yourself veering away from your own personal style (I have learned the hard way.) My rule? Only purchase things that are already on your wish list. If it wasn’t there in the first place, chances are you don’t need it.

Hoping to find some holiday gifts for my boyfriend, I’ll be shopping the men’s section more than anything. He loves A.P.C. and James Perse, so I’ll be on the lookout for sweaters and hoodies, plus some cool jewelry he can wear. I dropped his portable speaker a few weeks ago, so a replacement is needed! Oops!

I’ve been eyeing these shearling lined winter boots from Toteme for a few seasons, and now that I have a trip to the mountains in 2025 booked, it finally feels like the right time to add them to cart. Speaking of 2025, I have a few weddings I’m attending and Tove’s silk maxi’s are perfect for both summer ceremonies and formal receptions. Lastly, I am full on CE Ferulic obsessive, and there’s nothing worse than an empty bottle. I’ve learned that if there’s an opportunity to get my hands on SkinCeuticals at a discount, whether that’s shopping duty free while traveling or during Cyber Week, I’ll take it!

I have my eye on some designer pieces that would be very irresponsible for me to purchase at full-price: a great Simone Rocha dress with lace trim and dramatic draping at the shoulder, and a very cool, two-tone Marni denim skirt.

Ever since I laid my eyes upon this stunning coat from The Row, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about it. Although that’s how I feel about most things involving the Olsen twins—this one is different. For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, i’m looking to forgo fleeting wants and invest in the good stuff, like this Loulou Studio faux fur coat and Jil Sander tall boots (my type of investment fun!) Lastly, i’m in dire need of a new flatiron, and i’ve heard nothing but good things about Dyson’s hair tools.

All of my favorite seasonal trends–suede loafers, relaxed pairs of corduroys, slouchy leather bomber jackets, and standout knits–are on sale this early Black Friday! My winter wardrobe could use a fresh upgrade and I’m looking at these prized pieces to help get me started. The best part? They’re as on trend as they are trans-seasonal–find me sporting these well into spring, too.
Kiana Murden, senior beauty commerce writer
This Cyber Week I’m most interested in winter wardrobe essentials—like Toteme’s cozy gray knit and The Frankie Shop’s cropped bomber jacket. In the beauty world, I’m impressed by this Augustinus Bader trio that I plan on gifting a family member this holiday season.

I used to buy chic things on Black Friday. I still remember the mirror and pom pom print Altuzarra skirt I stalked and snagged 50% off in 2012 from Matches (RIP). Nowadays my Black Friday goals are dramatically smaller–the prices and the actual size of the clothing. Kids’ brands do great Black Friday sales and I stock up on PJs for my two toddlers. Here are some pairs I’m eyeing for Arthur and Alice (and one for me).

This Black Friday, I’m in search of some versatile and cozy separates to add to my wardrobe. I’ve got my eye on these Fair Isle sweaters, as well as these pleated trousers (I’ve been on the hunt for a perfect pair!).
Irene Kim, production and editorial coordinator
My former coworker and style inspiration, Emily Farra told me that Calvin Klein makes some of the best jeans. So, this Black Friday I’ll be buying a pair from the iconic American denim brand. Also, one of my favorite sweaters to borrow from my mom is a cozy cashmere gray turtleneck from Saks Fifth Avenue. She’s had it for over ten years—and it still looks great despite frequent wear! If that doesn’t prove that Saks Fifth Avenue’s cashmere isn’t worth it then I don’t know what will!

Right now, I’m on a mission to revamp my basics. I’m craving a pair of everyday ankle boots, and I especially love Reformation’s super sleek Rae boots. On the jeans front, I’m looking to pick up some more indigo pants, and as an Agolde loyalist, I’ve got my eyes on these low-slung baggy jeans. I may just have to spring for them both.
Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty & wellness editor
I have just started exercising again since the pandemic (read: I’ve done one single Pilates class and can barely walk) and to celebrate the occasion I want some new workout clothing. Plus, everybody in my class looked very cute, so post-pandemic it appears working out is a fashion event, too? Annoying. These Alo leggings are so cute and obviously I need a top to match.
