Urban Outfitters’ big Black Friday and Cyber Monday for 2023 has started, so here I’m sharing everything you need to know, including how much you can save, how long the sale will last and our shopping picks. Urban Outfitters is known for its trend-led pieces, but some items never date. Band tees, chunky knits and jeans are just some of their best pieces.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday is often heavily criticised for promoting overconsumption, but I believe there are ways to make it work for you and be mindful at the same time. I’m not intending to overspend on things I’ll throw away in a year’s time, and I don’t encourage you to either. I’m looking for timeless and long lasting items that I’ll wear until they wear out (then get repurposed or recycled).
It’s easy to get overwhelmed though, so it’s best to do your research ahead of the sale and to plan accordingly. If there’s a coat or dress you’ve been after for a long time but don’t want to spend more than you need to, it’s worth your while waiting for the sale.
So below, you’ll find a guide to Urban Outfitters Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale this year. I’m sharing when Black Friday is, how much the discounts usually are and my top tips for shopping the sale. Next, read more about the Black Friday sales at ASOS, Zara, Mango, Farfetch and more.

What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is an annual shopping event that occurs on the last Friday of November, the day after Thanksgiving. During Friday and often the weekend too, retailers always offer huge discounts and promotions, both in-store and online.
Black Friday is widely known as a popular opportunity for shoppers to find deals and start their holiday shopping, and the name symbolises the shift from financial losses to profits for retailers due to the high sales volume during this period.
Cyber Monday then comes the following week and is when all of the discounts are held exclusively online. At 11.59 on Cyber Monday, all the discounts end.
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday is held the day after Thanksgiving every year, which is the last Friday in November. In 2023, this is on November 24th. Cyber Monday then happens the following Monday, which is November 27th, 2023.
These days brands don’t just offer discounts on the day itself. You can expect huge discounts for the whole of Black Friday week at brands like Farfetch, ASOS, Mango and more.

Wear Next opinion
As consumers are becoming savvier about the impact of overconsumption on our environment and the individuals working to produce garments, many brands have decided to boycott Black Friday this year.
We’re expecting this to include brands Monki, Next and Arket, all of which opted out of Black Friday in 2020.
While we don’t condone overspending, we do want fashion to be accessible to those on a low budget, as well as those who struggle to shop sustainably due to size constraints.
We love fashion and the freedom of self-expression it brings and understand you’re going to want to shop the sales. We encourage you to be mindful of your spending and avoid buying items you’re probably going to discard of in a year’s time.
Shop smarter, not harder for next month’s Black Friday. Ensure you’re not overspending by setting yourself a budget beforehand and creating a wish list of items you actually need rather than want – including Christmas gifts for others – if you are going to spend.
