Shipping & Returns: Free shipping is typically included for online orders. Items marked Final Sale (app early access items) cannot be returned or redeemed for credit. Exchanges are allowed only for a different size of the same style and color, subject to availability.

Note: Early access is app-exclusive. These offers cannot be used in full-price or Outlet U.S. stores, combined with other promotions, applied to previous purchases, or redeemed for cash/gift cards. Merchandise is sold as is, and exclusions apply.

Most full-price items in the sale are expected to be around 25% off.
Outerwear (including coats, jackets, and blazers) often sees the deepest discounts, sometimes up to 40% off.
Items are usually Final Sale, which cannot be returned, though exchanges for size are allowed.
New arrivals or select items may be excluded. Sale items cannot be combined with other promotions.

Historically, Theory has offered surprise upgrades on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Last year, select styles were up to 60% off in the app, and sitewide discounts reached up to 40% off. Similar patterns could happen in 2025, so keeping an eye on the app may pay off.

What to Buy

Outerwear: Winter coats and tailored blazers are often the biggest value picks due to higher full-price costs and deeper discounts.
Wardrobe staples: Sweaters, simple tops, and pants in neutral tones are usually available at ~25% off, making them safe, practical choices.
Premium materials: Cashmere, wool, and leather pieces are worth checking, though they may be Final Sale.

Victoria’s Secret Black Friday 2025 Sale – The Event is Live!

November 13, 2025 BlackerFriday.com 3 Comments

Updated on Tuesday, November 25, 2025: Victoria’s Secret Black Friday 2025 Sale kicked off this morning! Like always, it brings a mix of sitewide discounts, free gifts, and shipping perks that make this one of the most anticipated events of the year. Here’s a complete breakdown of the deals you can grab now.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

The sale runs November 25 through December 2, 2025, with most offers ending earlier on Sunday, November 30. While the online sale is ongoing, some promotions like free gifts have a limited window, so timing matters.

Free gifts with purchase (tote or tote + blanket) end November 30, 2025 at 6:00pm ET.
Sitewide 40% off lasts through December 2, 2025 at 11:59pm PT.

What Discounts to Expect

1. 40% Off Everything

No promo code required. Add qualifying full-priced items to your bag, and the discount applies automatically.
Dates: November 25 – December 2, 2025
Exclusions: Certain brands (like PINK x LoveShackFancy, Crocs, Birkenstock, and more), clearance items, gift cards, shipping & handling, and prior purchases.

2. Free Shine Tote with $100+ Purchase

Promo code: SHINE100 at checkout.
Add $100+ of qualifying merchandise (after discounts) to your bag to get a free tote.
Dates: November 25 – November 30, 2025 at 6:00pm ET
Limit: One tote per order

3. Free Shine Tote + Blanket with $150+ Purchase

Promo code: COZY150 at checkout.
Add $150+ of qualifying merchandise (after discounts) to your bag to get both a tote and blanket.
Dates: November 25 – November 30, 2025 at 6:00pm ET
Limit: One tote + blanket per order

4. Free Shipping on $50+ Orders

Automatic free standard shipping on orders of $50 or more.
Dates: November 25 – November 30, 2025 at 6:00pm ET

How to Stack the Offers

Most of these offers can stack: for example, you could combine a $150+ purchase to get the tote + blanket and take advantage of the 40% off everything promotion. Free shipping automatically applies for orders over $50, making it easy to maximize savings.

Discount Levels Compared to Other Times of Year

You might wonder if Black Friday is actually the best time to shop at Victoria’s Secret, considering they have several big sales each year. Here’s how it stacks up:

Semi-Annual Sale: Usually deeper discounts on clearance and past-season items, but selection is more limited.
Labor Day and Fall Sales: Good for 30–40% off, but not as many bonus offers like the free tote.
Black Friday: Offers both broad sitewide discounts and the biggest variety of categories on sale at the same time.

So while the Semi-Annual Sale might beat Black Friday in terms of absolute clearance prices, Black Friday offers a wider range of deals all at once.

Cyber Monday 2025 Expectations

As soon as the Black Friday sale ends, Victoria’s Secret should roll out a fresh round of promotions for Cyber Monday. These are usually online-only and slightly different from the weekend’s offers. While the full details aren’t confirmed yet, based on last year, you can expect:
