Ah, Black Friday — a beautiful day to watch your bank account go into flames in the name of retail therapy. There's nothing I love more than a good steal, especially on a Margot Tenenbaum fur coat of my dreams. Outerwear can get costly, which is why Black Friday weekend is the best time to get your penny-saving game on. But exactly where does one even begin the quest for the best 2016 Black Friday and Cyber Monday coat deals?
Whether you're after a killer moto jacket or diving in open-minded, don't kick-off your shopping safari without a little research first. After all, time is money. While everyone else will be frantically Googling promo codes and hours of operation, you'll be one step ahead, items already in cart. With enough luck, perhaps you can even outsmart the ultimate shopaholic nightmare: your size being sold out. Embrace playing the early bird and the world might just reward you — hopefully with that camel coat you've been eying for ages.
Presenting... a round-up of the top Black Friday and Cyber Monday outerwear deals that you cannot miss this year. I'm already creating a mental wishlist of the 78th denim jacket I need to add to my wardrobe, just because. PS: If you're still lost, here's a handy guide on how to choose your perfect winter coat.
