Black Friday is officially here, and retailers are offering notable clothing deals during the event. You can also find sales on beauty, sneakers and tech many of which run through Cyber Monday.
I frequently cover shopping events as a reporter for NBC Select, and I spent weeks combing through discounts to find the best Black Friday clothing deals actually worth shopping. Each one I recommend below is highly rated and at least 20% off. When possible, I ran deals through price trackers to make sure they’re at their lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Black Friday.

Best Black Friday clothing deals
I found, vetted and wrote about every deal I recommend below. I worked with NBC Select editors to finalize the live list, which I’m frequently updating throughout Black Friday to reflect the most up-to-date prices.
Old Navy Women’s EveryWear Crew-Neck T-Shirt
4.7-star average rating from 17,425 reviews at Old Navy
“My ideal basic T-shirt is loose enough that it doesn’t feel restrictive, form-fitting enough that I can easily tuck it into pants and soft enough to be comfortable all day long and Old Navy’s basic t-shirt checks all of those boxes,” says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. “I own it in a bunch of colors and rotate through them weekly. They don’t stretch out over time or fade in color.”
Abercrombie Men’s Essential Popover Hoodie
4.9-star average rating from 3,331 reviews at Abercrombie
Abercrombie makes some of our favorite clothing including basics and loungewear like sweatpants and hoodies. This Popover Hoodie is an oversized sweatshirt that is made in the brand’s soft fabric, which reviewers say makes it one of the most comfortable options they own. Reviewers also say its softness, size and plush feel stays the same even after washing it multiple times.
Frame Women’s Le Slim Palazzo
5-star average rating from 3 reviews at Frame
This is the perfect pair of denim if you want something as comfortable as sweatpants. Even before putting them on, I could tell how smooth and soft these pants were. Once I put them on, it was the first time I didn’t feel restricted or awkward while wearing a pair of jeans. The Le Slim Palazzo, made from an ultra-stretch cotton blend, are high-rise jeans with a subtle wide-leg flare. The brand recommends ordering these at your normal size, and I couldn’t agree more.
Lululemon Women’s Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie
4.5-star average rating from 8,570 reviews at Lululemon
One of my favorite hoodies to wear to the gym or on my daily errand runs is the Lululemon Scuba. The half-zip jacket has an oversized fit that doesn’t feel tight at all. Plus, I love the kangaroo pocket, elastic zipper tie that doubles as a hair tie and thumbholes. I own this hoodie in multiple colors to go with all of my outfits and even after wearing them hundreds of times, they still look and feel exactly how they did when I first bought them.
Madewell Men’s The 1991 Loose Straight Jean
4.8-star average rating from 4 reviews at Madewell
“I tried this pair of washed black denim in a loose, straight fit and love them,” says NBC Select commerce editor Jordan Bowman. “It has room in the thigh, the length is perfect and the denim feels great on the body.”
Reformation Kinsley Denim Cropped Bomber Jacket
“Reformation is definitely one of my favorite brands to shop when I want to splurge — it’s pricey, but the quality is worth it, in my opinion,” says NBC Select updated editor Mili Godio. “The brand is my go-to for seasonal closet refreshes since the styles are always super cute and on trend.” One of those seasonal styles is this fitted bomber jacket, which is available in three neutral colors to match any of your outfits while keeping you warm.
J. Crew Men’s Heritage Cotton Crewneck Sweater
4.8-star average rating from 452 reviews at J. Crew
Reviewers love the quality of this crewneck sweater thanks to the fact that it can easily work for casual wear and more formal occasions. It’s made of 100% knitted cotton that keeps it structured, durable, breathable and comfortable, according to the brand. Reviewers say they pair it with base layers to elevate their outfit during colder months or as is.
Spanx Spanxshape Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings
4.5-star average rating from 2,357 reviews at Spanx
These NBC Select Wellness Award winners are fluttering, compressive, moisture-wicking and breathable — ticking off all the boxes for our testers. “I loved these (leggings) because I could put them on and not think about them or constantly adjust them while working out,” says Malin. The high rise workout leggings are available in 13 neutral and bold colors and come in eight sizes.
