Are January sales as good as Black Friday?
The quick answer is that they’re different.
Black Friday sales are known to be better for newer releases. Say you’ve been eyeing a certain autumn winter piece from a particular store. There’s a high chance you can get it at a discount during Black Friday, but it won’t last long.
For more general or year-round items, January sales are better. This is because brands often have the goal of clearing the entire fiscal year’s inventory if possible, to make way for the new one. So you can expect to see more classic items during these sales, and the prices will drop as the time goes on.

What sales are on?
Almost all high street stores take part in Boxing Day sales.
One of the most popular fashion sales is Zara’s, which only take place three times yearly – once in summer, briefly for Black Friday and from Boxing Day onwards.
The stores get taken over by the sales and you can always find amazing bargains.
Other brands that have sales include H&M, & Other Stories, ASOS, Arket, Cos, New Look and more.
Are Black Friday or Boxing Day sales better?
The sales brands run tend to be different during these sales.
Black Friday is great for newer pieces while Boxing Day sales are great for clearance pieces or general items you wish to give yourself or loved ones.
Either way, they’re both great opportunities to save while shopping!
