When I’m in the mood to shop (during Black Friday, of course), my first stop is Ssense. However, at the same time, it is a safe space. very It’s a big, safe space, but I don’t always know if I can (or have the patience) to navigate it. So, ahead of Black Friday, I spent hours on this site curating a unique list of the best deals. And to help you reap even more benefits, we asked our colleagues, fashion editor friends, and the cool people we follow on social media to share what they’re buying this sale season. Because we know what they’re spending. There is also plenty of time to spend on site. Get ready to take notes, because these deals are ending soon. too much good.
From trench coats to ballet flats and everything in between, these are the absolute best Ssense Black Friday deals, according to fashion experts.
I’ve been eyeing this top since summer. The shape and structure are very similar to mine, but the price is not similar, so I will definitely buy it when it finally goes on sale. — Asia Millia Ware, Fashion & Beauty Writer in the cut
I’ve been going back and forth on whether I want the shirt version or the dress version of this (or whether I even want it at all) because I’ve seen so many people wearing it. But now it’s on sale and I felt like it was the perfect print for Basel, so I couldn’t resist adding it to my cart. — A.M.W.
Ssense has a lot of basics that are perfect in my head, from intricate details to shapes. But since you usually don’t know the prices, sales are the perfect time to stock up on high-end basics like this top. — A.M.W.
I don’t think a year goes by where I don’t dream of a new Collina Strada. I really admire how playful she is in all of her designs and how sustainability is her top priority. And I want to keep wearing this top. — Jazmine Rogers content creator
I’m obsessed with Yoshitomo Nara (in fact, I have prints of him hanging in my apartment), so I was absolutely drooling over his collaboration with Stella McCartney. Since I work a traditional 9-to-5 job, I find chic button-downs that I can wear to the office, out to dinner with friends, or to a bar. I love it. — Sophie Wood content creator
I was looking for a nice “going out” top. I love the idea of pairing a sexy, sheer top like this one from Mariam Nasir Zadeh with oversized pants and sleek heels. —SW
Pleats please. cute. It’s on sale. Need I say more? — Jake Smith commerce writer with glamor
Splurging on Marine Cell baselayers has been on my fashion to-do list for the past three years. Although this is not an exaggeration. And now, thanks to this very achievable SSENSE discount, it’s finally time to check it off your list. This white and black turtleneck is planned to be worn under a V-neck sweater, layered under a short-sleeved mini dress, or worn on its own to make the crescent moon shine beautifully. — emma childs Fashion feature editor at marie claire
This is the platonic ideal of a striped button-down shirt. Genderless, cool, and timeless. I’m always impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of Our Legacy’s work, so I’m looking forward to seeing this one in person. — J.S.
Love it or hate it, peplum is making a comeback. I support that! Unlike in the 2010s, I think the current peplum silhouette has improved considerably. I found this Marques Almeida top earlier this year and waited for this exact moment to put it up for sale. I love the contrast between the cotton and silk peplum, and I think this top can be paired with many different combinations. — India Roby, fashion writer Freelance journalist affiliated with NYLON
Loose denim with the texture of leather pants? Please register. — hannah flanagan shopping editor in the cut

I thought for a while about what to buy when I first bought ShuShuTong, but I always keep coming back to this skirt. I like the ribbon decoration on the waist. Coupled with jewelry and slits, it becomes an instant must-have in your closet. If you buy this, you might just see yourself wearing it with the peplum top above! —IR
I’m always looking for a leather coat with a tie, and this one is really nice. — J.N.
The Ssense sale is the perfect time to buy a new statement coat. The juxtaposition of colors in this shearling coat evokes the feel of fall in New York. — A.M.W.
I love discovering new brands on Ssense. At the last sale he found Lado okuchava and ordered his favorite cutout blazer. Well, this is on my wish list. — A.M.W.
Many cardigans on the market are too tight and uncomfortable for my wide shoulders, so this oversized cardigan immediately caught my eye. It’s easy to dress up or down, and the drop shoulders look super cool. — H.F.
I have the white camo variation of this puffer, and it’s the best winter jacket in my rotation. It’s stylish, unpretentious and really, really warm. I’m considering adding another one to my collection. This time it’s an on-trend buttery shade that goes well with the black and gray pants I only wear during the winter months. — J.S.
I want to be a gunny girl and had my eye on this pink cardigan. Because it’s an easy and affordable way to enter the world. — Aiyana Ishmael, co-editor in teen vogue

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a pair of moto boots ever since I saw this style resurface in Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection. Crafted from heavyweight distressed leather and lined with metal hardware, these moto boots create a grunge heen look perfect for chilly weather. — Angela Way, freelance fashion writer
I’ve been paying attention to sneaker heels for the past few years, and I’ve been wanting an Ancunta Sarca sneaker in particular. I’m a big fan of upcycled designs and her designs always look so fresh and bold. I feel like wearing pink Olympia heels would make me a very *sustainable* bad guy. — J.R.
I’m in the market for a new pair of black boots, and these By Far boots have won my heart, from their curved heels to their sleek pointy toes. — HF
Similar to The Row’s, but better. — J.N.
Wonderful apartment, currently for sale. — J.N.
I’m obsessed with these and plan on purchasing them. No further statements are necessary. —BL
These slingback tabi heels have been on my list forever. My size is usually sold out, and if it’s sold out, I don’t have the money (lol), so I haven’t gotten it yet, but I’m curious. — A.I.
I’ve recently become obsessed with single ear cuffs and have been eyeing them for a while. — J.N.
This belt is the perfect balance between simple and versatile, yet high fashion and visually interesting. — HF
I already have a Lexxola Sunny and love it. Goes with any outfit, very durable, and although I hate dark tints on my glasses, this is light enough for me to wear but not so much that I feel like my eyeballs are peeking out . —BL
I like buying jewelry on sale. Because (if you measure it) the risk is pretty low. I think these Panconesi earrings look great on my curls. —EP
I wanted a Marge Sherwood bag and I love how big and functional this bag is. It reminds me of what the Olsen twins and Kendall Jenner wore. —SW
I don’t know if or when this will be released, but I was shocked by this “destroyed” Vaquera wallet. —EP

The link bag is finally on sale from the cool kids brand SC103. — J.N.
I promised myself that I would never bow again. I have a ribbon barrette, a bag decorated with ribbons, and a T-shirt with ribbons where the boobs should be. There are far more ribbons than one girl will need. But then I saw these adorable silver-tone ribbon stud earrings from Shushu/Tong and thought, “What’s the harm in having a few more?” I have a strong feeling that these will become my new lively pair for much-needed everyday, classy, and unapologetically girly fun. — E.C.
I love diffusers (just ask my roommate) and especially love how they blend into the interior. —BL
Even though I moved in six months ago, I’m obviously still decorating. A cute doormat is on my “to buy” list and it checks all the boxes. —BL
We want to complete our mug collection with unique pieces. This green bump mug is exactly what I wanted. —BL
Actually, I didn’t expect that Alessi, designed by Sottsass, would be released, but it has finally been released. My kitchen could use a little more personality, but I like that this grinder has a perspective that isn’t too Memphis (or Avant-Basic)-heavy. — J.S.
You’ve just moved into a new home, so naturally you’re dreaming about all the new home decor you want. My friend Rachel is an Indigenous Canadian artist who creates fun and playful home decor pieces, and this green flubber glass lives on in my heart for free. — J.R.
