For the past 20 years, J.Crewâs Cyber Monday sales have been my favorite to shop. While some may consider them just another drop in the Cyber Monday deals bucket (to be fair, the rest of the Cyber Monday clothing sales are pretty stellar this year), for me, itâs the J.Crew discounts that matter. Iâve been an avid shopper of J.Crew since even before the Jenna Lyons era, and I have a copy of the â99 Dawsonâs Creek catalogue to prove it. In fact, when I got engaged some 13 years ago, I told my husband I didnât want a diamond ringâjust a signature J.Crew Jackie cardigan in light pink. I still have the cardigan he proposed with (and the ring). But enough about me, and back to the deals. I’m not gonna lie. J.Crew has discounts frequently (just wait). You can usually expect to take 20 – 30% off whatever you’re looking for (besides cashmere) on any given day, but the J.Crew Cyber Monday sale is reliably the bestâthe one time a year you can take 50% – 60% off the entire site and this year, cashmere is actually marked down too (which is very rare). Plus, now that we’ve arrived at the last day of Cyber Week, they’re dropping prices further (some great loafers are over 60% off and my favorite pajamas have been slashed from $98 to $37). I can say with authority, both as Glamourâs commerce director whose job it (kind of is) to study sales, and as a brand loyalist who woke up at 6 a.m. this morning to put a few last minute gifts in cart, that the deals are better than they were for Black Friday (if you acted fast though, don’t have any regretsâsizes are actively dwindling).
J.Crew has been hitting on all of the key fall fashion trends (because of course) lately. Theyâre nailing the wear-to-work sequins (just check out that skirt below), theyâre all over the mohair sweater moment, and some of their chicest jackets are over half off. (Iâve had the wool Lady Day topcoat for yearsâitâs worth the investment.) Plus, thereâs plenty of great gifts for him on sale (including suits for over $100 off). My husband lives in the sweet slim-fit houndstooth sweater. I may just get him one more now that itâs 60% off. And presents for kids abound too.
Sizes are going fast, so let’s get to it, shall we?
Best J.Crew Black Friday Sweater Sales
J.Crew has a lot of sweaters, so narrowing this list down wasn’t easy, but let’s first look to the cashmere which is basically never discounted, but is up to 40% off for Black Friday. I also just couldn’t resist the brass buttons on this cable-knit cardi. It sounds crazy to say that cardigans (hello, timeless) are trending, but it’s true, and this one’s special. It can also be difficult to find anything that isn’t cropped these days (where my mid-rise denim girlies at?) so I’m highlighting the sweater polo below as well in case you’re not into the current shrunken vibe either.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Jacket & Coat Sales
Forget what I said about not being into cropped things. I’ll make an exception for this perfect sequined jacket which you can wear over any dress or with jeans. The ultra-soft peacoat is also like a giant hug, and in line with the mob wife aesthetic trend that popped off last January and isn’t going anywhere (it comes in leopard too if you really wanna go wild, pun intended). And if you’re looking for a great wool coat, I’ve had the Lady Day for years. Minus a few lining wears and tears, it’s still in tip top shape, so now that’s about $160 off, it’s worth a look. I also love this zippy take on the barn jacket (another major trend).
Best J.Crew Black Friday Skirt Deals
This season is all about sequins and silk and J.Crew has no shortage of either. Both have a comfy waistband that sits comfortably at the hip. Pop on a sweater, a moto jacket, a camisole, you name itâthey’re surprisingly versatile. I’ve also been wearing the crap out of the pleated skirt below. It’s loose in the tummy which is a need, not a want when cheese-eating holiday party season rolls around, and it pairs perfectly with the classic fit cashmere sweater I dropped above which is just long enough to cover the waistband. You can also tuck in a tighter tee, like this one with pretty pointelle details. The faux leather skirt is also equal parts festive and work appropriate.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Dress Deals
It’s not easy to find cute fall dresses with long sleeves that you can wear to the office without worrying about layering, which is why I’m eyeing these two festive pieces in seasonal plaid. They’re perfect for any upcoming holiday parties, as is that velvet shift dress.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Menâs Clothing Deals
Let’s not forget about the boys (especially since gifts for them are a cool 50% off). My husband always claims he’s going to overheat whenever I ask him to wear a cute sweater, but this merino wool blend is the exception, and it comes in a few preppy patterns.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Menâs Outerwear Deals
My husband has had his parka (the faux fur liner is detachable) for years and it’s kept him cozy during many a very cold Thanksgiving in Buffalo, but I also love the handsome top coat for a more polished vibe.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Gift Deals
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten more compliments on anything than I have on this gold slippers. I wore them one year to my Christmas party when my heels gave out, and no one cared about the sparkly dress I was in. They just wanted to know about these metallic slippers, so now that they’re $40 (marked down from $80) I’m going to buy a pair or two for friends (they also come in leopard, suede, and black). Also, I still think pajamas make for a great gift.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Pajama Deals
I’m kind of a PJ snob (they have to be soft enough that I don’t have to wear a camisole underneath them when I sleep), and J.Crew’s cotton-blend PJ set is up their with the most buttery. They’re just as good as Eberjey’s cult-favorite jammies (which are way more expensive, if you can believe that), and now that they’re 50%, I strongly encourage you to see for yourself (if you were in the market for spendy pajamas in the first place). And why don’t you go ahead and pick up these flannels for your fella too. My hubby loves his.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Shoe Deals
Suede is all the rage right now, and these comfy ankle boots are a great way to dip your toe (see what I did there?) into the trend. Want something you can actually wear in bad weather though? I’m vibing these more versatile winter boots that are 63% off (they were $198 and now they’re $65). And for something a little fancier, while they take a sec to break in, once they do, the patent leather T-strap heels (a key shoe trend) served me well for several hours (before I needed a Band-Aid, which is saying something for brand new shoes). I also love these loafers, which are over 60% off. I held off on buying them until now, and I’m so glad I did.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Jean Deals
J.Crew denim, how I love thee. They have everything you could possibly be looking forâwide-leg, straight, and so on and so on, but I want to take a second to talk about these faux leather pants that fit like a jean and elevate any look.
Best J.Crew Black Friday Kids Clothes Deals
TBH, I’m a little miffed this bow sweater doesn’t come in adult size. How cute is it? I’ll just have to buy one for my goddaughter and a semi-matching sweater for her brother.
J.Crew Factory Cyber Monday Deals
J.Crew Factory is 60% off sitewideâno exceptions, and to be perfectly honest (I’m a journalist, after all), while sometimes I find that the fabrics they use for the factory store don’t hold up as well, you can score some serious gems here year-round, and right now, the holiday apparel might be even better regular ol J.Crew. Enter this fab feather trimmed shirt that’s marked down from $95 to $35 and this puff sleeve top that’s perfect for a holiday party.
J.Crew Cyber Monday Accessory Deals
Looking for a gift for someone you don’t know terribly well? Two words: bow clips and headbands. Two more words: $12 (down from $30).
