When is Black Friday 2017?
Black Friday falls on the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States (which is the fourth Thursday of November). Here in the UK, Black Friday 2017 will fall on 24th November (which is a Friday) so you still have time to bookmark the shops you want to visit and pick out the deals you’re going to go after.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is a day when shoppers can take advantage of *huge* discounts from various retailers. We’re talking loads of £££ off designer and high-street clothing. Perfect if you want to buy gifts or update your wardrobe for party season. Why it’s called Black Friday varies a bit, some believe it dates back to the 60s, when the shopping phenomenon began, where so many people turned up to shop that it caused gridlock.
Another explanation is that thanks to their profits, stores go from being in the red to being in the black.
The Outnet Black Friday deals
You’ll be happy to hear The Outnet usually goes big for Black Friday, offering a massive sale across the site, which already has hefty discounts on brands like Victoria Beckham, Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and more. Needless to say, if you’re after a designer treat but don’t have a massive budget, you’re in the right place.
The weekend sale, which goes from the Friday to the Monday, usually offers up to 80% off across hundreds and hundreds of designer clothing and accessories. It’s hard to pick, but we’ve narrowed it down to the best deals below.
Luisaviaroma Black Friday deals
Last Black Friday, Luisiaviaroma treated us all to an extra 20% off sale items, which was applied at the checkout. So that’s an extra 20% off already reduced items by designers like Helmut Lang, House of Holland, Fenty x Puma, Adidas Originals, Rick Owens and the list goes on.

NET-A-PORTER Black Friday deals
NET-A-PORTER also goes big for Black Friday, so big that the site often crashes when the sale starts, so you’ll have to be quick, or patient, but we promise it’ll be worth it. The past couple of years, NAP offered up to 50% off hundreds of designer items, many of which had been reduced already. This spanned all categories, from clothing to shoes and bags, sunglasses and jewellery.

Is it best to shop Black Friday online or in-store?
To be honest, the deals tend to be the same both online and in-store, but if you’d like to save yourself the aggro of waiting in line for stores to open and battling it out with other customers on the shop floor, then online is the way forward. Plus, some deals will start at midnight, so you’ll actually be able to do some shopping earlier.
