Falling the day after Thanksgiving in the US, Black Friday marks the start of the pre-Christmas shopping season.

This year, the mammoth sale will kick off on Friday 29 November. Lasting a full four days, the deals will end on Cyber Monday (2 December).

However, plenty of brands have kicked off their sales early this year. Boots was the first to kick off proceedings, with John Lewis and Argos closely behind. In the days since, AO, Currys, Shark, Ninja, Oodie, Superdrug, Habitat and Dyson have all followed suit. Amazon is among the latest to join in, with the retailer launching its early Black Friday sale on 21 November 2024.

Whether I’m after an occasion dress, a staple pair of heels for party season or a knitted jumper to complete my winter wardrobe, Zara is my favourite destination on the high street for affordable fashion – and the brand’s Black Friday sale is a highlight of the shopping calendar.

Zara hosts a few sales throughout the year but its Black Friday event is the most anticipated. In 2023, the brand offered 40 per cent off selected items, while previous years have seen site-wide discounts of 20 to 30 per cent.

From winter coats and boots to party dresses, skirts and knits, the 2024 sale will be your chance to refresh your wardrobe for the new year, and at a fraction of the cost. Below, I’ve rounded up everything you need to know, including offers available to shop now.

Blanket hoodies are one of winter’s hottest buys – and one brand in particular dominates the market: Oodie. Luckily, if you’re looking to save on one of its coveted wearable throws, the brand has just announced the return of its mega Black Friday event, where you can save 50 per cent on its blanket hoodies.

“Large enough to curl beneath it on the sofa but still sufficiently fitted and lightweight to move around the house while working from home, the Oodie will be a saviour when temperatures plummet,” I said in my review of the cult Oodie. My only gripe was its not-so-pocket-friendly price, making this 50 per cent saving especially appealing.

“Despite looking complex, using it was super simple and straightforward,” Lucy said in her review. “It dried and smoothed hair quickly and easily, with minimal effort needed. And the round brush was also a welcome addition here too, as our tester loved using it to dry her hair for a blowdry-esque finish – this is something that she would usually have to use a hairdryer and straighteners to achieve,” she added.
