Black Friday is almost here, but, like most holidays, this one seems to kick off earlier than it used to. Many major retailers kicked off the holiday savings season before Thanksgiving, offering early Black Friday sales that are as good as the real thing (even if they’re not calling them Black Friday deals yet).

The Best Early Black Friday Clothing Deals
As always, some of the best Black Friday deals this year are on clothing. From department stores like Nordstrom to on-trend brands like Everlane, Uniqlo, and Abercrombie & Fitch, dozens of retailers are offering great clothing deals now through Black Friday. It’s a great time to pick up new pieces for holiday events, or you can use the savings to start shopping for spring.
Here are some of the best early Black Friday clothing deals to shop right now.
Nike
Nike’s Black Friday sale has already kicked off with an “Early Access” phase that delivers up to 60% off on thousands of items. You’ll see tons of sneakers on sale, of course, but there are also plenty of great men’s and women’s clothing items to be found in the huge sale. Bonus: You can use code ACCESS to get an extra 25% off on a ton of these sale items.
Everlane
Everlane is one of our first stops for essentials like jeans, tees, and classic button-ups. Their sale section is always stacked with these great pieces at a discount. Right now we’re seeing year-round favorites for as much as 85% off.
Amazon
No surprise: Amazon has kicked off its holiday deals early too. What might be surprising is how good Amazon’s clothing deals are. With a little digging, you can score discounts on best-selling items like this Levi’s Trucker jacket that’s 49% off for a limited time.
Gap
Gap is a slept-on source for affordable, solid essentials. The mall staple also runs excellent sales, like they’re doing right now ahead of Black Friday. You’ll find significant discounts on already-affordable pieces like this great Oxford shirt, jeans, and more.
Dr. Martens
Need some new shoes too? Head to Dr. Martens. The iconic boot brand is offering up to 40% off on a few hundred items. And the sale actually includes best-selling styles, like these men’s 1461 Oxfords or these iconic 1460 lace-up boots.
Men’s Wearhouse
If you’re looking for affordable dressy attire ahead of any holiday gatherings, Men’s Wearhouse is a great place to stop. If you want to score pieces for even less, check out Men’s Wearhouse’s sale section, which offers up to 70% off on suits, shoes, and everything else in their shop.
J. Crew
J. Crew is another mall store I actually love — especially when they’re running a sale. The store isn’t in full Black Friday mode, but you can score some great pieces like this fluffy, cozy sweater, as well as tons of spring/summer pieces at a steep discount (more than 60% off in some cases).
Urban Outfitters
For affordable, trendy pieces, Urban Outfitters is the go-to. Their sale section is overflowing with thousands of pieces right now, offering discounts on sweaters, underwear, pants, and everything else.
Abercrombie & Fitch
I check Abercrombie & Fitch’s sale section often. You can pick up real savings on some of the now-very-cool brand’s best pieces — most of which are discounted to less than $50. This suave crochet top is exactly the kind of score I’m talking about.
Uniqlo
Uniqlo has a very good sale section, but there’s one quirk: They don’t show the original price. The hack to find out the original price is to look up the exact item on Google’s shopping hub, but I typically just grab stuff because it’s already so affordable (and Uniqlo pieces tend to sell out).
Banana Republic
Gap’s grown-up brother, Banana Republic, is another great place to find early Black Friday clothing deals right now. You’ll find discounts of up to 40% off on everything from jeans to dresses to sweaters.
Free People
Free People has a few hundred items on sale right now, offering more than half off some of their trendy, casual pieces. But the retailer also has a few fun bundle deals, like three rings or three socks for $30.
Todd Snyder
Another brand I peruse frequently is Todd Sndyer, but, unlike many of the above, I often don’t end up pulling the trigger because the pieces are just a little too pricey. But, with some early Black Friday deals right now, killer pieces like these slacks (50% off) are much more attainable.
Huckberry
Huckberry is a one-stop shop for rugged, everyday clothing, accessories, and gear from some of our favorite brands. They’ve been doing Black Friday in drops, with the current drop delivering up to 50% off.
