Even after years of working as a shopping editor, I know firsthand that the "stars aligned" feeling of finding a dream style at the right price never really goes away — especially come Black Friday, when the season's most coveted wardrobe essentials are often marked down at their lowest prices of the year.

You can never go wrong with a sleek mini dress. Layer up with tights, boots and a sweater in the winter, and dress it down in the summer. The simple ribbed design is basically a blank canvas. All three colors are on sale for only $20.

Our favorite menswear brands and shops are having huge sales in honor of this year's Black Friday. Find top styles from names like J. Crew, Patagonia, and Vuori.
