5 style staples you won’t regret buying during Black Friday sales
Black Friday is one short week away, and with it will come oodles of sales, promotions, and deals all aiming to get your attention. With so many options it’s easy to feel overwhelmed: whether you’re shopping in person surrounded by hundreds of people or dodging pop-up windows and ads in online stores.
What really helps keep cool and make sound financial decisions in these moments of chaos is coming prepared with a foolproof plan. “Capsule wardrobe” and “timeless staple” are overused buzzwords, yes, but they come in handy during this time of year. The best deals you can shop for on Black Friday are evergreen, trendless wardrobe staples that will serve you well for years to come. Instead of surrendering to those trendy pieces that will go out of style in a few months, use this moment to invest in pieces that you will never regret buying. Here are our picks.
A well-made, neutral-hued leather shoulder bag is a tried-and-true staple in any accessory arsenal. While big designer names like Bottega Veneta might not partake in seasonal discounts, there are plenty of independent designers offering more affordable products at the same level of quality. For a timeless investment piece, avoid logo-heavy options and trendy emblems to ensure your shoulder bag stays in style throughout the years.

The leather jacket has remained synonymous with cool for decades for a reason. A black leather jacket, especially in a moto or bomber style, will prove itself as a strong wardrobe ally if you give the style a chance. Style it up or down, it remains a sturdy and ageless outerwear option. Layer it with cozy pieces during these last mild fall and winter days and come back to it next spring.

December is almost here, which means one thing: winter is coming. Before you’re left shivering in the January cold, grab a last-minute investment piece in the form of a warm winter coat. Classic single- and double-breasted coats are a great option for milder winters: make sure to go for a fully natural composition—either 100% wool or a wool/cashmere blend—for maximum durability and warmth. If temperatures in your area routinely drop below zero, a fluffy puffer coat or jacket will be the best option to keep you toasty until spring.

Blue jeans are the ultimate wardrobe staple, loved and worn daily by most of us. Black Friday deals are a chance to do something not many of us can do on the regular: splurge on a designer pair of jeans. Whether you go for a classic cut by an iconic brand—like The Row’s Eglitta straight-leg jeans—, a unique design—like Toteme’s signature Twisted seam—, or a sustainable option—like Nudie Jeans—, sometimes even the most humble deserve an upgrade.

Weather-Friendly Boots
Alas, ballet flats season is coming to a close, but boots season can be just as exciting. Proper, actually warm, winter boots are not only a style essential but a preferable alternative to throbbing, freezing toes. Snow-friendly styles include Moon Boots and UGGs, but a classic leather pair will also serve you well (almost) year-round.
