These are the very best Black Friday dresses I've found in the sales
Black Friday is fast approaching, and we predict it to be the biggest online shopping weekend of the year in the UK, especially if you're talking Black Friday dress sales.
But before we go onto dresses, make sure you check all our other amazing discounts, from the Black Friday trainer deals to all the other best Black Friday clothing deals, and not forgetting the best black Friday watches and best Black Friday engagement ring sales - we have got you covered.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy clothes?
Is it ever. Almost every retailer on the high-street (and designers too!) is hosting a Black Friday sale. These include JOSEPH, Zara and Topshop to name but a few. Each will have its own promotion, but expect a minimum of 20% off, while some will go up to 60% off.
Keep scrolling to shop the best of the Black Friday dress sales, and don't forget to check out our Mytheresa discounts whilst you're here.
Casual dresses
Let's be honest, if lockdown has pushed us to buy one thing un particular, it's loungewear, so it makes sense that we're into casual dresses at the moment. I particularly love a good knitted dress, so scroll down to shop my edit.
CONTRAST WOOL BLEND DRESS - LIMITED EDITION, Was £49.99
One of the biggest trends of the season is undeniably the sweater dress, so get yours now or regret it later.
Wedding guest dresses
Though there may not be many weddings happening right now (thanks Covid), there will be plenty to catch up on in 2021. So what better time to stock up on styles during the sales? The below dresses are timeless enough to be worn for many wedding seasons to come.
PACO RABANNE Scalloped metallic jacquard-knit dress, Now £364, Was £640 (43% off)
A classic jacquard style that works for both summer and winter weddings.
Grunge Floral Print Midi Dress, Now £27.60, Was £45.99 at Topshop
This little number is such a bargain and great for a spring or summer wedding.
Party dresses
Yes, party season may be a little different this year, but what's wrong with dressing up at home? That'll certainly get you in the festive spirit. Sequins are always a safe bet for the holidays, as is velvet.
SIMONE ROCHA Sequined tulle midi dress, Now £543, Was £1,295 (58% off) at The Outnet
This gold sequin dress is more of an investment piece, but you do want to get quality sequins as they can easily look cheap.
ENID ORANGE SCALLOP EDGE SHIFT DRESS, NOW £99, WAS £250 at L.K. Bennett
Nothing says party or festive like a red dress. This classic style will flatter all figures too.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
