Let’s be honest: there’s no better time of year to shop for menswear than Black Friday. It’s pretty much the only day when you can get discounts on designs by some of the top designers - and Mr. Porter is one of the best places to find them.
As a menswear stylist and writer who’s covered the sales for many years, I can safely say this is the best opportunity to give your wardrobe a refresh. My advice? Think about the gaps in your rotation so you’re buying pieces you really need rather than being sucked in by the promise of a big discount from a big brand.
Seriously – I’m speaking from experience here. When Black Friday’s on the way, I usually put a hold on buying things I’ve got on my wishlist just in case they end up in the sale. Over the years, I’ve managed to secure pieces on Mr. Porter from brands like Jacquemus, Ralph Lauren, Marni and ASICS, all at a discounted price.
So, whether you need new denim, your shirting collection’s looking a little lacklustre, you could do with a new suit in preparation for party season or your trainers need a refresh, now’s the time to treat yourself.
Follow the lead of the menswear pros (Nicholas Hoult, Jacob Elordi, Paul Mescal et al.) and try to stick as close to the menswear classics as possible so whatever you buy is an investment that’s not going to end up on Vinted in a few month’s time.
The good news is that nearly every single category on the retailer’s site is given the Black Friday treatment. We’re talking up to 50 per cent off some of the best labels on the menswear scene. From luxury brands like Brunello Cucinelli to streetwear pros Stone Island as well as hypey independent designers like Dime or Cherry Los Angeles.
And it’s not just Black Friday itself when there’s deals to be had – which, this year, is Friday, November 28. Most retailers, Mr. Porter included, start dropping their prices throughout October and November as well as the weekend that follows, with everything wrapping up on Cyber Monday (Monday, December 1).
To give you a helping hand, I’ve been trawling the site for all of the best pieces you can get in the sale now. You can thank me later.
Cherry Los Angeles Jacquard-Knit Alpaca-Blend Sweater
Cherry Los Angeles is the brand to know if you’re into the vintage Americana vibe. As you might have guessed, the brand’s headquartered in LA – and all of its collections are handmade in the states.
This jumper shows what they do best: elevating men’s classics with a twist. This time, it’s a alpaca-blend knit with a jacquard retro logo. Though it looks like you might have found it in a thrift store, the quality and softness are a massive step above.

Neighborhood Team Muffler Fringed Jacquard-Knit Scarf
Forget plain, basic scarves because this year they’ve been given the collegiate treatment – just look at Loewe’s letterman range or Paul Smith’s collab with Manchester United. Scarves with personality. Jump on the trend for less with Neighborhood’s design that’s currently half price. If it’s not for you, it makes a great gift for a fashiony fellow.

Frame The Boxy Straight-Leg Jeans
Black Friday is a great time to refresh your jeans. This year, there’s loads of options by denim expert Frame in the sale. My favourite? The Boxy Straight Leg. It’s the perfect pair of jeans, from the perfect relaxed fit to the premium denim and the mid-blue wash.

Nike Field General Leather and Suede Sneakers
The menswear world’s obsession with retro trainers lives on. If you’re sick of Adidas Sambas, why not switch to Nike? The Field General is a great alternative – especially when it’s only £50. Double down on the vintage hype with a pop of colour.

Mr P. Double-Breasted Woven Suit Jacket
Every guy should have a good black blazer to hand. From the double breasted silhouette to the premium wool-blend fabric, this double breasted design by Mr P. (Mr. Porter’s own brand) is a strong choice.

Suicoke KAW-VS Webbing and Suede-Trimmed Denim Sandals
It’s officially slipper season – when better to treat yourself to a new pair? Sure, these are technically sliders, but they’ll do the job just the same – and they look much cooler. Amp up the wintry cosiness with a pair of chunky marl socks.

Officine Générale Giacomo Checked Cotton Shirt
This check shirt is a timeless choice that will make you look like a menswear pro right now because checks were all over the menswear runways for autumn/winter 2025 (Prada, Hermes, Dsquared2 and Zegna). And you can guarantee anything by Parisian label Officine Générale is made to last.

Acne Studios Full-Grain Leather Bifold Cardholder
It’s time to ditch your chunky wallet for a sleek cardholder. Acne Studios’ minimal bifold design has all the space you need for cards – six slots – and it comes with a silver key fob so you can attach it to your belt loop or bag if you’re that kind of guy. If you’re after a Christmas gift, this is an easy win.

Garrett Leight California Optical Shasta D-Frame Acetate Polarised Sunglasses
There’s never a bad time for a new pair of sunnies. Though they’re obviously handy in summer, you also need them for the crisp blue-sky winter days – and actually, because the sun hangs lower, it’s still important to protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays. Garrett Leight’s black D-Frame shades are a great year-round staple.

Dime Logo-Embroidered Cotton-Jersey Hoodie
A premium hoodie is a useful buy come winter. It’s a top which really works double duty – you can dress it down with track pants or up with a blazer and smart jeans. Either way, it’s the kind of piece you’ll reach for first when it’s chilly out.
