Updated on Tuesday, September 8, 2026: Aeropostale has not announced its Black Friday 2026 sale yet, but last year’s event gives us a good starting point.
In 2025, Aeropostale offered 60% to 70% off storewide, plus buy one, get one free on select jeans. Free shipping was also available on orders of $25 or more.
If that sale returns, expect some very low prices on jeans, hoodies, graphic tees, sweats and other Aero basics.
Aeropostale Black Friday 2026 at a Glance
| Sale Detail | Our 2026 Prediction |
|---|---|
| Expected main sale start | November 26 |
| Black Friday | November 27 |
| Main discount | 60% to 70% off select merchandise |
| Jeans | BOGO or roughly $20 to $30 |
| Hoodies and sweatshirts | Roughly $15 to $25 |
| Graphic tees | Many under $10 |
| Cyber Monday | November 30 |
| Free shipping | Likely with a low minimum purchase |
These are predictions based mostly on the 2025 sale.
When Will Aeropostale Black Friday 2026 Start?
Our best guess is Thursday, November 26, which is Thanksgiving Day.
Last year’s main Black Friday sale started on Thanksgiving, November 27, and continued while supplies lasted.
Aeropostale may start teasing deals earlier, but we would expect the biggest storewide markdowns around Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
How Much Will Aeropostale Take Off?
We expect another 60% to 70% off event, both in-stores and online at aeropostale.com (U.S. and Puerto Rico only).
That was the headline discount last Black Friday, with most online prices already marked down and no promo code needed. Select jeans also had a buy one, get one free offer.
One thing to keep in mind: Aeropostale discounts merchandise pretty aggressively throughout the year. The site is currently running an End of Summer sale with hundreds of styles starting at $10, and it regularly rotates other promotions.
So the Black Friday banner may sound impressive, but the actual dollar price is what matters.
Aeropostale Black Friday 2026 Price Predictions
Current regular jeans are generally around $60 to $70. If a true 60% to 70% markdown applies, prices could look something like this:
| Item | Typical Price | Price We’d Watch For |
|---|---|---|
| Men’s jeans | $59.95 to $69.95 | $20 to $30 |
| Women’s jeans | $64.95 to $69.95 | $20 to $30 |
| Hoodie | Around $59.95 | $15 to $25 |
| Graphic tee | Around $24.95 | $6 to $10 |
| Sweatpants | Around $50 to $60 | $15 to $25 |
Current men’s and women’s jeans are commonly priced around $59.95 to $69.95 before promotions.
These are our targets, not confirmed 2026 Black Friday prices.
What Would We Consider a Good Aeropostale Deal?
This is where we would ignore the percentage and look at the final price.
| Final Price | Our Take |
|---|---|
| Jeans under $30 | Good |
| Jeans around $20 | Very good |
| Hoodie under $25 | Good |
| Hoodie around $15 | Excellent |
| Graphic tee under $10 | Good |
| Graphic tee around $5 to $7 | Clearance-level deal |
Why set the bar that low?
Because Aeropostale already has clearance jeans from about $14.99 to $29.99, hoodies around $12.99 to $14.99 and some graphic tees around $5 to $10 right now.
So Black Friday is not automatically the cheapest possible time to shop Aero.
BOGO Jeans Sound Better Than They Really Are
Buy one, get one free jeans returned during last year’s Black Friday sale.
It is a solid offer, but it is not exclusive to Black Friday. Aeropostale is running BOGO jeans right now on many regular-price styles.
For example, two $64.95 pairs under a BOGO offer work out to about $32.48 each.
That’s decent for current styles, but it is not as cheap as clearance jeans at $19.99 or $24.99.
Our rule would be simple: use the BOGO deal if you want current washes and specific sizes. Shop clearance if price matters more than selection.
What Should You Buy First?
Jeans are probably the first category we would check, especially if you want a specific fit, wash or size.
Hoodies and sweatshirts are also worth watching. Aeropostale currently has some clearance hoodies around $13 to $15, which means a Black Friday hoodie closer to $20 is only attractive if it is a newer style or popular color.
For graphic tees, we would look for single-digit prices.
Clearance May Beat Black Friday
This is the biggest thing to know about Aeropostale.
The deepest clearance prices can already be better than the main Black Friday discount.
Current examples include women’s jeans originally around $65 dropping as low as $14.99, men’s jeans around $19.99 and graphic tees around $5.
The tradeoff is selection.
Clearance tends to have fewer sizes and colors. Black Friday should give you a better chance of getting newer styles at a strong price.
Should You Wait for Cyber Monday?
Probably not if the item you want is already 60% to 70% off.
Last year’s Black Friday event was expected to roll directly into Cyber Monday promotions, and Aeropostale typically keeps holiday deals going through the weekend.
If your size is available at a price you like, we would buy it.
If you are just browsing clearance and do not care much about color or style, checking again on Cyber Monday could still be worthwhile.
When Will the Aeropostale Black Friday 2026 Ad Come Out?
We expect the main details during Thanksgiving week, probably around November 25 or 26.
Last year’s sale went live on Thanksgiving Day with 60% to 70% off storewide, BOGO select jeans and free shipping on qualifying orders.
Once the 2026 sale is announced, we’ll update this page with the confirmed dates, discounts, featured prices and any exclusions.
