J.Crew, Banana Republic, Madewell
There’s no reason to go to the mall this week unless you enjoy crowded spaces, sold-out sizes, and ridiculously long fitting room and check out lines. Call me crazy, but I don’t, so I’m shopping my favorite mall brands’s early Black Friday sales from the comfort of my couch.
J.Crew, Banana Republic, Madewell, and Gap all launched major Black Friday deals ahead of the holiday weekend, with up to 64 percent off new winter arrivals, cashmere, and more. Below, shop my top picks from each sale, with prices starting at $11.

Chiffon-Lined Sequin Skirt, $65 (Originally $148)
Cable-Knit Cardigan Sweater, $80 (Originally $158)
Daphne Topcoat, $130 (Originally $298)
Almost everything is on sale at J.Crew: Winter staples like this classic black coat are up to 57 percent off, while sale items are an extra half off with the code FRIDAY. The biggest discount is on these now-$65 wide-leg trousers, but the item I’m immediately grabbing is the brand’s iconic Rollneck Sweater. The knit is timeless, cozy, and right now, just $45. But it’s not just wardrobe staples that are on sale; I also found major discounts on festive styles that are perfect for holiday parties, like this burgundy sequin skirt—on sale for just $65—and this $203-off crystal-embellished LBD.

Wide-Ribbed Draped Top, $42 (Originally $70)
Brushed Cashmere Flare-Sleeve Cardigan, $150 (Originally $250)
Crepe Knit Scoop-Neck Maxi Dress, $108 (Originally $180)
At Banana Republic, you can save 40 percent on nearly everything, including its high-quality cashmere. Because the brand’s cashmere rarely goes on sale, I’m tempted to grab a few styles. This now-$90 V-neck sweater is super classic and available in 11 colors, but I also love how cool this flare-sleeve cardigan is. Beyond cashmere, though, I’m eyeing two dresses: This 54-percent-off wrap dress shoppers call “chic” and “flattering,” as well as this slinky long-sleeve option.

The Kline Blazer, $143 (Originally $238)
Take 40 percent off your order at Madewell with the code MADEBETTER, including new arrivals and already-discounted styles. In the sale section, I discovered this cool winter jacket with a sherpa collar that’s now 64 percent off, these now-$54 leg-elongating flare jeans, and this $36 chocolate brown sweater. And when it comes to new styles, I’m obsessed with both this $53 sweater and the under-$150 oversized Kline Blazer.

Mid-Rise Recycled Satin Seamed Pants, $31 (Originally $80)
Everything is 40 percent off at Gap, but a handful of items are 60 percent off. I found six wardrobe staples—like this $11 long-sleeve T-shirt—and cozy must-haves—like these wide-leg sweatpants—that are all under $35 during the sitewide sale. The brand’s buttery-soft CashSoft material is a personal favorite, so I’m grabbing this V-neck sweater while it’s $27, but I’m also obsessed with these pleated satin pants that have comfortable details like an elastic waist, but are still really chic.
