I like to think of Black Friday as the sartorial Super Bowl. And if you take shopping as seriously as I do, then you know you’ll need a smart strategy to win the metaphorical game. For me, that means picking my favorite retailer; I’m laser-beam focused on Mytheresa’s impeccable curation of designer deals—and I’m creating a wish list of all the items that I love before the main event commences. That way, once the deals start rolling in, I won’t be distracted by shiny, new offerings that might leave me feeling overwhelmed, battling analysis paralysis, and filled with buyer’s remorse.
Never one to gatekeep, I’m sharing a sneak peek into the list of editor-approved finds that you can also add to your wish list and start shopping now before they inevitably sell out. Elevate your sweater collection with luxe knits by Victoria Beckham and Lisa Yang. Or secure a winter-ready shearling handbag by Chloé for a fraction of the price. If holiday parties are on top of mind, now’s the moment to secure a head-turning Rodarte dress or dazzling Tom Ford flats while they’re discounted. For all of the glorious designer deals, keep scrolling for Mytheresa’s early Black Friday savings.
