Black Friday. The hype is finally here and it will come and go just like it does every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving. My advice on Black Friday shopping is basically the same year after year. Go to the companies websites that you love and go to their clearance section! The issue with a lot of Black Friday 'deals' is that companies just take their regular priced items and offer a percentage off of those items. So ultimately, the deal isn't as good as if you just went to their clearance section. Most companies offer additional savings on the clearance items on Black Friday, so you won't be able to beat that price during the year!
There are a couple of exceptions to this rule, so I'm outlining my favorite brands below and my thoughts on their sales. I'm also providing the link directly to where to shop. Just click the 12 links below and you'll have everything you need!
Anson Belts - these are hands down my favorite belts and the only belts I typically wear. They are not on sale during the year. Today they are offering a third belt free if you buy two. That's a great deal! Click here for Anson Belts special.
Asos - you're going to find some incredible deals on their clearance items. The quality ranges, but the prices are always incredible. Keep in mind these are most European fits and generally slimmer. Click here for the Asos's clearance section.
Banana Republic - it's worth just going straight to the clearance section for BR. Their deal is just 50% off MSRP. Click here for Banana Republic's clearance section.
Brooks Brothers - they offer their dress shirts deal only once or twice a year. 4 for $200. You won't beat this deal on their shirts. It's time to restock! Click here for Brooks Brothers.
eBags - very good deals if you're shopping for luggage! I would recommend their professional slim backpack that's on sale for $70! Click here for eBags sales.
Indochino - now is the time to buy a custom suit! I'm not kidding. Spend the time measure yourself and buy. The amount of suits they are offering for under $400 is unbeatable. Click here for Indochino.
J. Crew - another example where I would just go straight to their clearance section. Click here for the J. Crew clearance section.
Nordstrom - yep, straight to the clearance section. Click here for the Nordstrom clearance section.
Nordstrom Rack - again, straight to the clearance section, you'll find what you want there! Click here for the Nordstrom Rack clearance section.
Saks Off Fifth - are you picking up on the pattern here with the major retailers? If you're too lazy to buy the custom Indochino suit, you can find some good off the rack deals here. Click here for the Saks Off Fifth clearance section.
Thursday Boots - honestly, no special Black Friday deal here besides a free gift. BUT, these are always the boots I recommend and their pricing is fair to begin with. Click here for Thursday Boots.
Twillory - this is actually a legit Black Friday deal. 50% off their shirts and they are awesome! Click here to shop Twillory shirts.
Alright now that you know what's happening out there, let the shopping continue!
