Black Friday is my Super Bowl Sunday. My fandom started when I was younger, way before I became a New York fashion editor and stylist (think: old-school Black Friday shopping at the local New Jersey mall and lining up before the doors opened). Nowadays, my Black Friday post-Turkey meal day is spent in front of my computer, shopping online deals at my parents’ kitchen table with my morning coffee. As an expert in fashion sales, I know this is the best day to shop with the year’s biggest discounts at essentially all your favorite stores. 

So, what am I buying? With a few trips on the horizon for 2024, I certainly have my eye on some travel-friendly pieces like durable suitcases, comfortable shoes, and the perfect clothing items to accompany me on my next adventure — and I’ve found massive savings at top retailers like Amazon, Nordstrom, Zappos, and more to help me put the finishing touches on my jet-setter wardrobe. Now is also a great time to shop for gifts for your fellow travel buddies, friends, and family, and these items are sure to bring a smile to their faces. Keep scrolling for the 15 best travel fashion, gear, and accessory deals from across the web. 

Away The Carry-On  

This isn’t a drill. Away, the beloved luggage company is having a first-of-its-kind Black Friday sale with 20 percent off its best-selling styles. Owning a sleek Away suitcase has been on my mind after staring at my friend’s luggage with envy in airports for years, and now’s the best time to upgrade to the classic Carry-On Suitcase. It’s a durable, hardshell luggage with easy-to-pull 360-degree spinning wheels. It’s also lightweight, eliminating the struggle to lifting it to put into the overhead bin, car trunk, etc. 

Everlane The Alpaca Crew

Sweater weather is just getting started, and it’s always a good idea to have some go-to jumpers in your closet. When shopping, find knits that are easy to wear with all bottoms (think: jeans, cargo pants, or skirts) — like this Everlane crew, which is now 40 percent off. Crafted in an alpaca-merino wool blend, this cozy piece is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe.

Superga 2750 Pearl Matte Canvas Sneakers

These celebrity-favorite shoes are one of my best go-to travel sneakers. They are comfy on their own and can easily fit orthotic insoles for extra support. They’re stylish-yet-versatile, pairing beautifully with dresses, shorts, jeans, and joggers. Whenever I see my go-to travel sneakers on sale, I snag a pair so I can have a crisp, clean set on hand for my next trip — and they’re starting at $43 during the Zappos Black Friday Sale. 

Calpak Compakt Bundle

Another company that makes some of the best travel bags is Calpak. Its Luka duffel (now on sale) is my current underseat tote for big trips since it’s super roomy and can hold a lot. As a huge fan of the brand, when I saw that it’s hosting a mega Black Friday sale with deals up to 60 percent off, I started clicking around for new travel-friendly bags. This Compakt Bundle set includes a two-for-one duffel and tote deal, and it comes in plenty of fun colors. These are the perfect lightweight, foldable bags to pack with you to use while traveling or to have on hand in case you buy too many souvenirs and need an extra luggage room to get home.

Gemma + Jane Parachute Pants

A good pair of travel pants are worth their weight in gold, whether you’re looking for something to kick back in on a long flight or to carry you through a busy day of exploring. These parachute pants from Gemma + Jane offer the perfect balance of comfort and style with their elastic waist, relaxed fit, and breathable polyester fabric. Plus, their cargo-style pockets are the ideal size for carrying your phone, wallet, and keys — and you can easily slip in and out of them thanks to their pull-on construction. Did I mention that they’re on sale for $16 at Marshall’s right now? 

Abercrombie Ultra Mini Puffer

Black Friday is the opportune time to save on outerwear, whether you’re headed on a trip or just need something warm to brave the chilly temperatures of your hometown. Over at Abercrombie, the top-rated Ultra Mini Puffer is a rare 25 percent off, and somehow it’s still available in every color and size. This versatile jacket is made for winter with its water-resistant fabric, removable hood, zip-front closure, storm cuffs, fleece-lined pockets, and cinched hem. Together, these important details create the ultimate comfortable and flattering outerwear moment. 

Meisee Nylon Crescent Crossbody Bag

I am constantly hunting for a roomy crossbody that can fit all of my essentials — which means more than a phone and lip balm — to rock on vacation abroad or even daily in New York City. This crescent-shaped bag seems to fit the bill since there are plenty of color options, and the style is versatile enough to wear with skirts, denim, or dresses. What’s also appealing is that it’s more spacious than your average fanny pack while still easy to pack and lightweight to carry your essentials in all day.

Dagne Dover Mila Toiletry Bag 

I have an obsession with toiletry bags — I just can’t get enough. When it comes to packing for a trip, I love to have a variety at my disposal so I can store beauty products, charging cords, and other tiny essentials. Pro tip: Traveling with different sizes and shapes makes it easier to stick the small bags between my packing cubes, in my boots, or in the grooves of my suitcase. One of Dagne Dover’s latest toiletry bags has a unique cylinder shape that feels so different compared to other brands. I love the adjustable compartments, mesh pocket, and that it can sit upright on a bathroom sink — and both the small and large sizes are on sale now.

Vince Oversize Wool & Cashmere Cardigan

What would holiday shopping be without a splurge (or two) for yourself? I always shell out extra money for luxe sweaters, especially styles that are classic and seasonless — like cardigans. This oversized soft cardigan is currently 48 percent off at Nordstrom, making it a great opportunity to spend the money on a piece that will get a lot of wear. I can see myself sporting this for dressy winter occasions over a slip dress with heels, or as a top layer with leggings, a white tee, and sneakers for my cozy airplane look any time of year. 

Birdies The Starling Flats

Comfortable, supportive flats are a great alternative to sneakers when traveling. They keep your looks sophisticated, are easy to pack, and offer a dressy option for dinners and parties. In my opinion, Birdies makes some of the most comfortable flats out there, and the brand’s Black Friday Sale is treating shoppers to up to 40 percent off on select velvet styles. I am clearly not their only fan since these velvet flats have five-star ratings from 15,000-plus shoppers. Grab a fun, festive color that can take you from the office to holiday cocktails this season. For the first time, the black and latte colors will be on sale, so now is the perfect time to try them. 

Osprey Arcane Tote Pack

Some days, I’m a backpack wearer, and some days, I want a tote. This two-for-one Osprey bag, currently 30 percent off as part of Nordstrom’s Black Friday deals, is both with tote handles and backpack straps. This bag can be your everyday carry-all or your underseat travel backpack. It’s made with recycled plastic bottles and is roomy enough with many pockets and a zip-top closure. A padded laptop sleeve is one call-out that will be especially useful for work travel.

Bombas Women’s Everyday Compression Socks

Compression socks have been longtime airplane travel necessities for me. Whether I like it or not, this statement probably ages me, but I know the benefits of wearing a pair, especially when the flight is long, outweighs these silly misconceptions. I am fully taking advantage of this pair from Bombas that’s 20 percent off with the code HOLIDAY20, and grabbing several of the brand’s stylish compression socks for future trips. These will also aid in keeping my feet warm and comfortable with their seamless toe constructions and the brand’s signature Honeycomb Support System that cradles the arches of your feet.

Summersalt The Luxe Cashmere Blend Matching Set

Cozy yet elevated-looking loungewear for travel is my jam. I am a fan of the matching set trend that’s sweeping the travel scene, and will be picking up this cashmere-blend duo from Summersalt while both pieces are 30 percent off. Trendy details like the pants’ wide-leg silhouette and button design for the top keep the look polished and not sloppy. Plus, I like that I can wear each piece separately while away, whether on a ski trip in Utah or a cold weekend upstate. 

Samsonite Winfield 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage With Spinner Wheels

While I am an eternal carry-on traveler, there are some trips like one for a big event or an extra long two-week excursion that require more packing room. Take advantage of this highly-rated Samsonite 28-inch checked suitcase that’s on sale for almost half off. Hardside luggage is wonderful when checking a bag. There will be scuffs after some trips, but there won’t be tears, and everything inside will be secure and safe.

Fabletics Cold Weather High-Waisted Pocket Leggings

This celeb-owned fitness brand has some of the best black leggings in the market (trust me, I have tried them all). For Black Friday, the brand is offering 60 percent off sitewide for VIP members. I am particularly excited about these high-waisted black leggings, which are specifically engineered to keep you warm during the winter. They are also chafe-resistant, moisture-wicking, and incredibly flexible with their four-way stretch fabric. Adding to the appeal is an external pocket for easy access to my phone while walking to a workout or through an airport heading to a flight.
