I'm a Fashion Editor and These Are the 20 Items I’m Buying on Black Friday

2. Missoma Gold Axiom Chain Necklace

The entire Missoma website is 25 percent off for the week of Black Friday. So, if you buy one thing from the trendy jewelry brand, make it the multitasking Axiom necklace. Not only will it became a staple of your next neck mess but the adjustable chain can be worn a number of different ways—including as a choker and a lariat.

BUY IT ($232; $161)

3. Dior Diorizon 2 51MM Square Sunglasses

While not technically part of Saks's Black Friday sale, these Dior sunglasses are going for less than $200. And they have that cool-but-not-too-trendy vibe that will make them your go-to for at least the next year. If not the next two years. Sound investment, indeed.

BUY IT ($325; $195)

4. Madewell Pointelle Cable Cardigan Sweater

How sweet is this lavender cardi? Use the code VERYMERRY for 50 percent off this and most everything else on site for an extra cozy winter wardrobe refresh. (P.S., this pointelle knit comes in cream and olive green, too.)

BUY IT ($110; $55)

^{Available in sizes XXS to XL}

5. Lululemon Invigorate High-Rise Tight 25“

Lululemon’s hotly anticipated Black Friday deals are finally available, so if you need me I’ll be stocking up on all the cozy leggings. Because if my mother taught me anything, it's that you must buy cozy, comfy, quality staples like these in multiples when they go on sale.

BUY IT ($128; $69)

^{Available in sizes 0 to 12}

6. White + Warren Cashmere Travel Wrap

Yes, this super-soft cashmere wrap makes travel feel a touch less stressful, but it also works just as well if you’re only going as far as the end of the driveway to pick up the newspaper.

Buy it ($315; $237)

7. Chloé Small C Convertible Leather Bag

You can never go wrong with a classic neutral-hued leather crossbody, but this Chloé one is particularly stunning, not to mention timeless.

Buy it ($1,850; $1240)

8. Everlane The Cashmere Scrunchie

Every bit as luxurious as Katie Holmes’s cashmere bra, just significantly more affordable (and, honestly, more practical, too).

Buy it ($25; $18)

9. Mizuki Sea Of Beauty 14K Yellow-Gold Diamond Stud Earrings

These double diamond studs are delicate but a step above the average solitaire earring. Basically, they're an everyday, super wearable classic. (And yes, you should treat yourself to a pair.)

BUY IT ($990; $693)

10. AMO Harlow Jeans

I already have a pair of AMO jeans in my arsenal and I can confirm they're the softest denim I've ever put my hands on. But I wouldn't mind adding this loose, distressed style to my daily lineup. With the Anthropologie 30 percent off site-wide Black Friday sale, I plan on buying them ASAP.

BUY IT ($308; $216)

^{Available in sizes 23 to 32}

11. Sabina Musayev Celia Top

This year has been all about finding Zoom-ready tops that will look professional and chic over video calls but are just as comfy as our PJs (or at least come close enough). This hot pink cutie looks gorgeous on its own but also layers beautifully under a crewneck sweater for some extra warmth.

Buy it ($165; $83)

^{Available in sizes XS to L}

12. Carou Love Letters to William Drop Earrings

I can’t get enough of the draped chains on these stunning gold earrings. And while they feel super special, they’re not so fancy that I can’t sport them on the regular, just for coffee with friends.

Buy it ($248; $174)

13. Staud Eli Vegan Leather Pant

Leather pants—faux or real—are a purchase you will be so grateful for when the temps dip below freezing. Seriously, they’re much warmer than jeans. Not to mention, this whiskey color will go great with cream, white, black...and basically any other neutral already in your wardrobe. Just don't forget to use code HOLIDAY to score 25 percent off.

BUY IT ($350; $263)

^{Available in sizes 0 to 12}

14. Halogen Leopard Cashmere Sweater

Trust me when I say you'll never regret investing in another cashmere sweater. This bad boy will get plenty of wear, whether you rock it with sweats on the couch or leather pants for a night on the town (or on Zoom). Plus, the grey leopard print feels so much fresher than the usual tan and black combo.

BUY IT ($149; $90)

^{Available in sizes XS to XXL}

15. Maidenform Bike Short With Cool Comfort

After months of wearing bike shorts and leggings almost exclusively, I can confirm that these Maidenform are the comfiest, most flattering style that money can buy. The wide waistband provides a hug of support while the Cool Comfort fabric won't leave you actually dripping sweat after you wear these to work out (though no shame if you only intend to wear these on the couch for movie night).

BUY IT ($42; $21)

^{Available in sizes S to XXL}

16. Sanctuary Essential V-Neck Crop & Essential Knitwear Pant

Do I need another loungewear set? My stuffed dresser drawers would say probably not. But that isn't stopping me from scoring this soothing cream colored two-piece from Sanctuary. There's something about the cropped V-neck sweater that sold me on this particular style. FWIW, their entire site is 30 percent off through Black Friday weekend (excluding their masks!).

BUY IT ($79; $56)

^{Available in sizes XXS to XXL}

17. JW Pei Mila Shoulder Bag

My favorite affordable handbag brand is offering 10 percent off everything with the code BLACK10. This means I can finally score this pleated shoulder bag (that's made of vegan leather and has a removable strap). At this price, I might even get it in ivory, too...

BUY IT ($59; $43)

18. Ba&sh Calla Sweater

Half-zip sweaters have emerged as a mini trend over the past few weeks. Which means I bookmarked this cream version a week ago. Most of Ba&sh's lineup is 30 percent off for the shopping holiday—this knit included.

BUY IT ($375; $263)

^{Available in sizes XS to L}

19. Bleusalt The Shorty Crew

This might look like a basic long-sleeve tee but it's lined with a super soft material that could seriously rival the feel of cashmere. How's that for elevating an everyday basic? FYI, it comes in ten vibrant colors, including two tie-dye options. So I give you full permission to buy this style in bulk.

BUY IT ($115; $75)

^{Available in sizes 00 to 22}

20. Paris Texas Faded Python Print Wrap Sandals

I might be wearing these from the living room to the kitchen (and back again) for the time being, but this celeb-adored brand makes such great footwear. And you absolutely can't beat this under-$100 price tag, thanks to Shopbop's current winter markdowns. Do not, I repeat, do not wait to add these to cart!

BUY IT ($495; $99)
