Black Friday Clothing Deals FAQ

This year, in the United States, Black Friday will take place on Friday, November 29, the day after Thanksgiving. But you should expect a decline in sales sitewide at the beginning of the week, if not earlier.

Cyber ​​Monday falls on Monday, December 2. Note that most sales will extend until the end of the week, but it won’t be a no-brainer.

Are clothing deals better on Black Friday or Cyber ​​Monday?

Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday offer equally great clothing deals. Expect large retailers and more established brands to offer deals on Black Friday, and smaller men’s clothing boutiques to wait until Cyber ​​Monday. As a point of reference, expect the best Black Friday sales to start at 20% off and go up from there. As Black Friday approaches, also be on the lookout for the coveted sales that have become the norm in recent years.
