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.

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.
