Whistles Denim Petite Authentic Barrel Leg Jean
“I’ve recently embraced the barrel leg jean trend — I just love how cool the silhouette looks, and, more importantly, how comfy it feels. Currently, I only have one star-printed pair which is a bit more novelty, so this Black Friday, I’m planning to expand my denim collection with something more classic and simple. Whistles is already a go-to for its petite collection, so I’m excited to try out their denim offerings too.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
Whistles Petite Authentic Barrel Leg Jean, $, available at Whistles
New Balance Shape Shield 7/8 High Rise Pocket Tight
“My gym kit desperately needs a refresh (my leggings all have holes in the crotch!), so I’ll be taking full advantage of the New Balance Black Friday sale. I’m hoping some brand-new gear will give me the motivation to get moving in the new year!” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
New Balance Shape Shield 7/8 High Rise Pocket Tight, $, available at New Balance
Liberty 9ct Gold Handmade Ianthe Star Rainbow Ring
“Much to the detriment of my stagnant savings pot, I’m an unapologetic magpie for jewellery. What better way to spend Black Friday weekend than by snapping up a shiny new ring? I’ve had my eye on this one for months, and the sale knocks a hefty £200 off the usual price — suddenly making it feel much more justifiable. Since it’s solid gold, I’m calling it an heirloom piece to rationalise the splurge.” — Humeara Mohamed, Contributing Writer
Liberty 9ct Gold Handmade Ianthe Star Rainbow Ring, $, available at Liberty
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
“I’m obsessed with these lip balms. I’ve been using Beige Vanilla for months, so Black Friday weekend felt like the perfect excuse to branch out into new shades and scents. I chose Hot Cocoa and Brown Sugar — both rich brown hues that subtly enhance my natural lip colour. Since I know I’ll use them up, these purchases don’t feel like wasted or impulsive Black Friday buys.” — Tanyel Mustafa, Senior Writer
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, $, available at Cult Beauty
Abercrombie & Fitch Wool-Blend Double-Breasted Coat
“Abercrombie & Fitch has recently become one of my go-to brands for new-season styles, and the feeling is mutual. Right now, A&F is offering 25% off everything for its Black Friday sale, but Refinery29 readers have an extra treat. Use the code REFINERY for an additional 15% off Black Friday savings (valid from 25 November to 2 December, gift cards excluded).
My personal sale pick? This stunning wool-blend coat. I’ve been searching for a ’90s-style, boxy overcoat that doesn’t swamp my 4ft 2in frame, and I adore its rich burgundy shade.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
Abercrombie & Fitch Wool-Blend Double-Breasted Coat, $, available at Abercrombie & Fitch
COS Draped Scarf-Detail Blouse
“I tried this blouse on in a COS store earlier in the month and completely fell in love. I didn’t purchase it at the time but when I saw it was on offer for Black Friday I couldn’t resist the discount. The scarf detail at the neck was what really attracted me, I can imagine wearing this to both day and night time occasions.” — Claire Porter, Senior Audience Manager
COS Draped Scarf-Detail Blouse, $, available at COS
Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute
“Recently, my very well-loved Dyson V11 vacuum gave up the ghost. I’d already had my eye on a V12 Detect Slim, which is currently £150 off for Black Friday. The biggest game-changer with this model is its ability to reveal every microscopic piece of dust (and, in my case, dog fur) on my floors with a beam of illumination. Plus, it’s Dyson’s most lightweight cordless vacuum, so I can clean my entire flat without worrying about my arm falling off.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute, $, available at Dyson
Kind Patches Period Patches – Extra Strong
“I have the contraceptive coil and, whilst I love the ease of it, the cramps are no joke. I don’t love gobbling pills like Smarties, so I’m excited to finally try these skin patches, which are said to help ease cramps, bloating and muscle aches with a blend of plant extracts that are slowly absorbed through the skin.” — Humeara Mohamed, Contributing Writer
Kind Patches Period Patches – Extra Strong, $, available at Kind Patches
Away The Bigger Carry On In Supernova Silver
“You might not believe it, but I’m still rocking a first-generation Away luggage in the year 2024 (for context, the brand was founded in 2015). That’s how well they hold up. And while it’s still perfectly functional, I won’t lie: She’s been through a lot! I have my eye on the new cosmic collection, which features Away’s signature hard shell design but in sparkling silver or baby blue. Plus, at 20% off, it’s a great deal for a piece of luggage I plan to use for years to come.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Away The Bigger Carry-On, $, available at Away
Tangle Teezer De-Shedding Dog Grooming Brush
“I love The Ultimate Detangler so much that I have one at home, one in my bag and one at the office — and my husband has one too! So it only makes sense to get one for my dog, right? This one de-sheds rather than detangles, which is perfect for my short-haired saluki.” — Humeara Mohamed, Contributing Writer
Tangle Teezer De-shedding Dog Grooming Brush, $, available at Tangle Teezer
Coach Willow Shoulder Bag
“I’ve always been team #tinybag, but after seeing my colleague unpack the viral appeal of Coach’s Willow bag (which you might have seen on the arm of several tastemakers about town), I’m thinking it might be time for me to upgrade to a roomier, perfectly slouchy design like this one. And as it’s on sale, it’s a no-brainer.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Coach Willow Shoulder Bag, $, available at Coach
Braun i·expert Smart IPL
“I used to only wax, but I’ve started shaving more frequently as I’ve grown lazier. I think it’s time to invest in myself and put all that money that I’ve saved into an IPL treatment device. I’m definitely considering this one while it’s on sale, as it’ll basically pay itself off in the time and money I’ll have saved on razors. I’ve heard the smart device is really good, and it’ll remind me when I need to do sessions, which is more than helpful for a planner like me who puts everything in their calendar.” — Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator
Braun i·expert Smart IPL, $, available at Braun
Cozy Earth Bamboo Jogger
“I’m relatively new to this brand but have become a swift convert. Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Jogger Set is the softest, cosiest item I’ve put on my body. It’s totally worth the splurge as it’s all I’ve been wearing since receiving it, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon as we head into hibernation season. So, I’m keen to buy myself a few more pairs for when the original is in the wash (a very sad day).” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
Cozy Earth Bamboo Jogger Pant, $, available at Cozy Earth
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Luxury Palette Duo
“Charlotte Tilbury usually offers fantastic deals for Black Friday. This year, they’re offering up to 40% off a variety of beauty goodies. I’m planning to shop and save on my favourite makeup products from the brand: the Pillow Talk Luxury Palette duo, an important part of my everyday eye makeup look” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Dreams Luxury Palette Duo, $, available at Charlotte Tilbury
Marshall Acton III Speaker
“I’m hoping Marshall runs its own Black Friday sale this year, but if not, I’ll be heading to Amazon to upgrade my record player setup with a new speaker. My eye is on the vintage-inspired Acton III in cream. (I recently switched to a white record player, so I want it to match.)” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
Marshall Acton III Bluetooth Speaker, $, available at Amazon
Jones Road The Mini Miracle Balm Set
“I think Jones Road is one of the most slept-on brands out there. Created by industry veteran Bobbi Brown, it’s skin-loving, dew-boosting, hydrating makeup at its finest, and it’s perfect for mature skin too. The catch? It’s bloody expensive. That’s why I’ll be stocking up this Black Friday, even if the discounts are minimal. If you’re stuck for something to try, try the Miracle Balms. They give the most comfortable, gorgeous tints to skin.” — Humeara Mohamed, Contributing Writer
Jones Road The Mini Miracle Balm Set, $, available at Jones Road, Jones Road Beauty
Astrid & Miyu Molten Duo Huggies in Silver
“I wear gold huggie hoops every day, but I think this double wavy silver pair is such a fun mix-up. Also, the price point would make this a perfect gift for my two little sisters too!” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Strategist
Astrid and Miyu Molten Duo Huggies in Silver, $, available at Astrid and Miyu
Skims Seamless Sculpt Bralette
“Guys, I did it: I found the perfect bralette for large-ish boobs, and have one Kimberly Noel Kardashian to thank. I already own a nude colourway of this shaping bralette but I will be buying at least two more while they’re on sale for Black Friday. They are supportive, smoothing and truly invisible under clothing — all while not sacrificing comfort. Buy now, thank me later.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Skims Seamless Sculpt Bralette, $, available at Skims
Bellissima Italia Prodigy Air Multi Styler with Coanda Technology
“I’ve been using my own Prodigy styler for the past few months, and it’s completely transformed my haircare routine — a voluminous blow-dry in under 20 minutes? Incredible! The only problem is that my sister has cottoned on and ‘borrowed’ it more times than I can count, so I’m planning to buy her one of her own for Christmas. Luckily, it’s now heavily discounted in the Black Friday sale.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
Bellissima Italia Prodigy Air Multi Styler with Coanda Technology, $, available at Bellissima Italia
Damson Madder Embroidered Rafe Jeans
“When I say that everyone in our office is obsessed with Damson Madder I’m not being dramatic in the slightest, so it was inevitably going to end up in this list somewhere. I feel like their beautiful blouses and puffy dresses get all the love though, and their trousers are just as stunning. Case in point, these embroidered jeans, which will jazz up any outfit for the better.” — Humeara Mohamed, Contributing Writer
Damson Madder Rafe Jeans, $, available at Damson Madder
Anthropologie Bistro Tile Margot Monogram Mug
“I’ve carted up a whopping six of these mugs to gift to several of my cousins. With Anthropologie’s early Black Friday Sale, they each came to under £9 (use the code SNOW for 25% off), so they’re a real steal and will make the perfect gift on their own — or as a gift set with some lip glosses, a gift card or whatever other mini goodies can fit inside.” — Victoria Montalti, Affiliate Fashion Writer
Anthropologie Bistro Tile Margot Monogram Mug, $, available at Anthropologie
Moroccanoil Treatment Original
“I’ve just finished my third bottle of Moroccanoil Treatment and can’t wait to restock whilst the brand is offering 15% off sitewide. I’ve tried countless hair oils over the years, but none compare to this classic argan oil-infused treatment, which nourishes and protects my hair from heat damage while adding a healthy shine. I’m also taking this opportunity to stock up on the Intense Hydrating Mask, my go-to for reviving dry, tangly hair after too much travelling.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
Moroccanoil Treatment Original, $, available at Moroccanoil
Ateljé Pink Clay Recycled iPhone Case With Eternal Flame And Harmony Cord
“Phone-snatching is at an all-time high in London right now, and I’ve had not one but two phones stolen in the last few years. So, you better believe I’m stocking up on some chic phone cases and cords this weekend — my phone is about to be attached to my body at all times!” — Humeara Mohamed, Contributing Writer
Ateljé Pink iPhone Case With Wrist Strap And Cord, $, available at Ateljé
