We’re closing in on turkey and cranberry sauce, but there’s something even tastier going on that won’t spoil your appetite: the Nordstrom Black Friday sale, and the fact that the retailer has kicked things off with a mega gallery of goodies on sale for up to 60% off.
From winter-ready coats to best-in-class underwear, there’s a deal for every guy (and a gift for every guy you know). But it’s not just menswear deals that are popping off. Nordstrom has a tons of discounts on grooming products as well as home and kitchen goods for you to cozy-up your home for the winter.
It’s a lot to sift through and there’s only so much time in the day, so we parsed through the sale and cherry-picked our favorite deals so you can be on your merry way. For more, check out our coverage of the best Black Friday clothing deals.
Our Favorite Nordstrom Early Black Friday Deals
In This Shopping Guide
Menswear Deals
Whether you need a new suit for the holidays, a pair of boots to get you through Snowmageddon, or a head-to-toe closet refresh, Nordstrom’s got it all discounted. Don’t sleep on the Calvin Klein undies—they’re a GQ favorite for so many reasons. That goes doubly so for the iconic Baracuta G9 harrington jacket. We don’t expect that to last long.
Drake’s
Thin Dual Stripe Cotton Oxford Button-Down Shirt
If there’s anyone who can make a Oxford that sings, it’s Drake’s. You’ll want to pick up this mult-stripe number before anyone else does.
A.P.C.
New Standard Straight Leg Jeans
There are many iterations on the classic 501, but A.P.C. has been one of the very few to be able to stand toe-to-toe with the legendary jean.
Adidas
x Wale Bonner 3-Stripes Long Sleeve Shirt
When it comes to Adidas and Wales Bonner, the shoes (understandably) get all the love. But to complete the look, add a long-sleeve into the mix.
Nike
Tech Fleece Zip Hoodie
The Nike Tech Fleece hoodie is the modern icon it is because it keeps the wearer (a.k.a, you?) as warm as they’d be in any beefier coat, without compromising in any way on agiliity.
Frame
Textured Wool & Cashmere Sweater
If you could wear a fireplace, it would look a lot like this cashmere sweater.
Madewell
Marl Sweater
Madewell’s pieces are so good, we made a whole other Black Friday post about their crazy current deals. But you can also find some slashing at Nordstrom, like on this cozy, heathery sweater that’s way under the almost-$100 it typically retails for.
Polo Ralph Lauren
Solid Piqué Polo
When it comes to polos, pique is back. Combine that with classic Polo styling and a festive pine and red colorway, and you’ve hit Holiday 2024 perfection.
Calvin Klein
Classics 3-Pack Cotton Boxer Briefs
Your family jewels deserve the royal treatment and it doesn’t get much better than Calvin Klein, our perennial pick for the best underwear for men.
Accessory Deals
Accessories are the bits and bobs that really make your outfits pop. Whether it’s the watch on your wrist, the beanie on your head, or the duffle you carry on your travels, no detail—or discount—is too small.
Bulova
Sutton Mother-of-Pearl Leather Strap Watch
Ya know, there’s more than one way to wear pearls…
Gobi
Cashmere Rib Knit Hat
It’s time for the barbers to go into hibernation.
Thule
Paramount 18-Liter Commuter Backpack
If you’ve owned a Thule pack before—whether a dopp kit, laptop case, or backpack like this—you know that they’re damn near indestructible. And this one has side panels that can be unzipped to make the capacity a whopping 50% bigger when needed.
The North Face
Base Camp Medium Duffle
Flying south for the winter? Consider upgrading your beaten-up carry-on.
Ray-Ban
54mm Wayfarer Sunglasses
When Ray-Ban Wayfarers are priced how they would have been twenty years ago, you’re getting heritage style at—for a refreshing change—heritage prices. As always, there’s 100% U.V. protection, and robust acetate frames.
RRL
Cable Recycled Cashmere Blend Beanie
RRL—Ralph Lauren’s ranch-minded, premium outfitters—makes some excellent cashmere. And look at that, it’s just gone from a three-digit sticker price to two.
Lands’ End
CashTouch Winter Scarf
This bright red scarf made it into our best scarves guide because of how soft and bright it is, even at $30. Now it’s all that, for a mere $18.
Hestra
Christopher Wool Blend & Leather Gloves
How do you expect to find any Hinge matches if your fingers catch frostbite?
Shoe Deals
Like Forrest Gump’s momma always said “you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes.” Whatever it is you want to telegraph to the world, there’s a shoe for you. Prep your feet for winter with a honkin’ pair of boots or pick up a new daily driver like a workhorse pair of derbies. Or maybe get a jump on your marathon training with a new pair of running shoes.
Nike
Zoom Vomero 5 Sneaker
These might not be the shoe of choice to get you through a marathon, but you’ll be running circles around the fashion crowd.
Nike
Killshot 2s
The Killshot 2s you know and love, now on sale in Challengers green.
Frye
John Addison Engineer Boot
These boots were made for gawking. If Frye does one boot realy well, it’s the engineer boot.
New Balance
2002R Sneaker
The New Balance 2002R silhouette was the brand’s breakout sneaker this year. With a more robust sole than other NB mainstays, the style is a tank for your feet—if tanks were warm, bouncey, and sold in pleasing, snowy colorways.
Hoka
Bondi 8 Running Shoe
Hoka’s another of those heavy-hitters that deserves its own Black Friday deal guide. (So that’s exactly what we did.) But Nordy’s also got a Hoka deal, on the beloved Bondi, which has 33-millimeters of rubber beneath its heel for an extra-cushy landing.
Grooming Deals
Whether it’s the scruff on your face or the scent you wear, grooming sets your ambiance and aura. That’s crucial if you expect to interact with anyone up close. So pick up a fresh new cologne or get your skincare routine locked down because you’ll never know who you’ll run into.
Maison Margiela
Replica Jazz Club Eau de Toilette
Maison Margiela’s fragrances may be under the ‘REPLICA’ banner, but the creations are as original as anything. Take ‘Jazz Club,’ a heady blend with notes inspired by cocktails, cigars, and cracked leather stools.
Armani
Acqua di Gio Parfum
Fresh, clean, classic, Acqua di Gio has been one of the most popular colognes forever. So while we love niche fragrances, the classics are classic for a reason.
Kiehl’s
Creme de Corps Moisturizer
There’s a deal on almost every size of Kiehl’s classic, skin-softening body cream. We’d spring for the 16.9 oz—it’s 50% off, and chunky enough to keep you lathered through the entire cold season.
Perricone MD
Cold Plasma+ Face Serum
The fountain of youth, as it turns out, is actually more of a gloopy serum.
Hawthorne
Avocada Seed Thickening Clay
Hawthorne does a lot of bathroom joints well. This thickening clay might be the best of the bunch—it holds without any shine, makes thinning hair look thick, and smells like desert flowers.
R+Co
Television Perfect Hair Shampoo
Clued-up barbers nationwide swear by R+Co.’s products. This shampoo might be the most recommended of them all, followed closely by the matching conditioner.
Home Deals
Even if you end up staying inside without seeing anyone, your home is your sanctuary. Whether your main hangout is the kitchen, the couch, or the bed, Nordstrom can make you feel even more at home with its wide range of deals on bedding, decor, kitchenware, and more.
Le Creuset
Signature 3.5-Quart Round Enamel Cast Iron French/Dutch Oven
Loved by pro chefs around the world, Le Creuset’s French-made enamel kitchenware is among the best. We can’t guarantee you’ll get a Michelin star, but your cooking will definitely improve.
Apotheke
Juniper Birch Classic Scented Candle
Bring the outdoors indoors (without the bugs and racoons).
Hay
Pao Portable Lamp
Hay’s popular Pao lamp is the perfect way to add some ambiance to your home with a modern touch.
HAY
Stripe Scented Candle
Hey, here’s a HAY candle in a hand-painted stoneware vessel you’ll keep using long after the wax has burned through.
Fellow
Stagg EKG Pro Electric Kettle
Alternatively, drip coffee obsessives (and temperature-minded tea sippers) love Fellow’s Stagg kettle, which has a luxe-feeling dial to set your water to just the right degree.
Moccamaster
KBT Thermal Coffee Brewer
The Moccamaster has long been the final boss of tasteful coffee-heads worldwide. It brews a stunning cup (and keeps that brew warm for an hour) but it also looks mighty fine doing nothing.
Nordstrom Black Friday Deals FAQ
This year in the US, Black Friday is on Friday, November 29, which is a day after Thanksgiving. But if not obvious already, retailers (like Nordstrom) tend to launch “early” sales to help you get a jump on shopping. And before you ask, the deals are just as good.
Cyber Monday falls on Monday, December 2. Note that most sales will extend through the end of the week, but that won’t be a given.
What are the best things to buy at Nordstorm?
Nordstrom is a legacy department store, so they’ve got you covered for just about everything. But if you’re probably thinking about clothes, specifically. We think that some of the best things to buy at Nordstrom are shoes, suits, and grooming products. Nordstrom also has a surprisingly good amount of designer and niche brands on their roster—you just have to dig through the generic in-house labels to find them.
Will Nordstrom have a Cyber Monday Sale?
While there’s no official word on a Nordstrom Cyber Monday sale, our coverage over the years tells us that there most likely will be. We’ve got our ears to the ground and will be updating this story as we hear more.
