As a fashion editor, shopping for Black Friday is my Superbowl. It's the kind of thing I train all season for because there's no better time to snag a luxury find for less—but you have to know where to look. So, I spent days tracking down the best designer pieces currently on sale for Black Friday—including designer bags, boots, sneakers, and sweaters—that you can snag now. Essentially, these are some of the best Black Friday fashion deals on the web—and I pulled them all together for you in one place.

Black Friday isn't here just yet, but brands like Nordstrom are already running early Black Friday promotions. My 54 picks hit every category where your wardrobe could (probably) use a winter refresh right now. Are you over your usual work tote? Swap it for one from Strathberry. Is your winter coat looking a little rough after a few seasons of use? Elevate it with a puffer or trench coat from this list. Do your black boots feel too trendy to be timeless? Swap them for a chic pair from one of the brands below, many of which have a place in my own collection. Are you dying for a new pair of trendy sneakers to round out the year? I found your next favorites. Finally, are you dying to invest in a cozy cashmere sweater but can't justify the higher prices? Don't fret—there are options on this list that will fit into your budget.

Many of the items on this list are under $500, but I made some room for a few investment-worthy finds that won't be on sale again for the next few months. Keep scrolling to shop my picks.

The Best On-Sale Designer Finds at a Glance

Marie Claire's Favorite On-Sale Designer Finds

The Best On-Sale Designer Bags

Now is the perfect time to invest in a chic new handbag. You can find designer options on sale that fit almost every category, from laptop-friendly totes from Coach to evening bags from Reformation.

The Best On-Sale Designer Sneakers

Our favorite on-sale designer sneakers fall into a few classic categories. There are the white sneakers you can wear everywhere, the brighter, trendier options you can wear on your day off, and work-ready kicks that are surprisingly chic. No matter which pair you choose, you and your credit card can rest easy knowing you made a worthy investment in your winter shoe rotation.

The Best On-Sale Designer Boots

I live in my favorite boots in the fall and winter, so I'm using the early Black Friday sales to pick up a new designer pair while they still fit into my budget. After spending hours scrolling through dozens of pages of discounted finds, I compiled a concise list of my favorites for your shopping pleasure. I found a pair of black ankle boots from Valentino, a classic pair of knee-high boots from Stuart Weitzman, and a pair of kitten-heeled boots from the minimalist It-brand of the moment, Toteme.

The Best On-Sale Designer Jackets

It can be sad to make the swap from a lightweight fall jacket to a heavier winter coat, but these on-sale picks make it feel a little sweeter. There's a puffer jacket on this list from Mercer Collective that balances style and substance to create the perfect wear-everywhere option. Below is also a denim jacket from Cinq a Sept that's so elevated and a leather blazer from LouLou Studio that you can (and should) wear to the office this winter.

The Best On-Sale Designer Sweaters

Great sweaters continue to be the backbone of my fall and winter wardrobe, so I'm using the early Black Friday deals at sites like Revolve and Nordstrom as an excuse to replace the ones in my collection that look a little worse for wear. That means I now have room in my collection for a hot pink cashmere cardigan from Gigi Hadid's Guest in Residence brand, a striped Vince option that gives me Old Money energy, and a classic gray V-neck pick from Toteme that fits my minimalist mood board.
