NET-A-PORTER Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

2 Comments

Updated on Wednesday, November 12, 2025: If you’re planning to shopNET-A-PORTER’s upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale, here’s what to expect, including the likely sale dates, the typical discounts, and some examples of what was on sale last year.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

NET-A-PORTER’s Black Friday sale is expected to kick off at net-a-porter.com on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. This is two days before Thanksgiving.

The sale usually continues through the weekend and is set to end on Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. However, you should keep in mind that many of the best items tend to sell out quickly, sometimes within the first 24 to 48 hours. So, while the sale may officially last until Cyber Monday, it’s really only “while supplies last”.

Unlike some other retailers, NET-A-PORTER doesn’t typically do a pre-sale or preview event for Black Friday. Everything is launched at once, and no promo codes are needed. Once the sale is live, the discounted prices are already reflected on the site.

Typical Discounts

The discounts at NET-A-PORTER’s Black Friday event can go up to 50% off on select styles. That’s pretty standard for them during this time of year. Some items will be marked down by 30% or 40%, while others reach the full 50% off.

Luxury brands usually don’t offer huge discounts, so don’t expect every item on your wishlist to be half off. Many of the biggest designer names will have smaller markdowns, or in some cases, be excluded from the sale altogether. NET-A-PORTER doesn’t usually discount new season arrivals or classic staple items like designer handbags that rarely go on sale.

Still, the 50% off section tends to have a strong mix of designer fashion, shoes, accessories, and beauty products.

Featured Deals from Last Year (2024)

Here are a few real examples of items that were on sale during NET-A-PORTER’s Black Friday 2024 event to give you an idea of what you might see again this year:

  • GANNI Leopard-Print Crepe Wrap Dress — Originally priced at $285, it was marked down to $142 (50% off).
  • Isabel Marant Lecce Belted Wool Coat — Originally $1,290, discounted to $903 (30% off).
  • Golden Goose Superstar Distressed Leather Sneakers — Went from $530 to $371 (30% off).
  • Chloé Woody Medium Leather-Trimmed Canvas Tote — Discounted from $1,150 to $805 (30% off).
  • Aquazzura Bow Tie 85 Suede Pumps — Originally $750, marked down to $375 (50% off).
  • Anita Ko 18-Karat Gold Diamond Earrings — Discounted by 20%.
  • Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick — Reduced from $48 to $34 (30% off).

Can You Expect Any Exclusions?

As with previous years, not every brand will participate in the sale. High-demand luxury brands like Chanel, Hermès, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton are almost always excluded from discounts. New arrivals and “core collection” items from other luxury houses are also likely to be left out.

Neiman Marcus Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

1 Comment

Updated on Wednesday, November 12, 2025: If you’re wondering what to expect from Neiman Marcus’s upcoming Black Friday Sale in 2025, here’s a look at this year’s expected sale dates, discounts they usually offer, and a few examples of last year’s best deals.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Start & End Dates

Based on what they’ve done in previous years, Neiman Marcus’s Black Friday Sale is likely to start on Monday, November 24, 2025, both in-stores and at neimanmarcus.com. They’ve been kicking off the sale a few days before Black Friday itself, which is pretty common now among retailers.

The sale is expected to run through Friday, November 28, 2025, and will probably end at 10:00 PM Central Time. Keep in mind that while the sale runs for a few days, some of the most popular items can sell out quickly. So if you have your eye on something, it’s smart to shop early in the week rather than wait.

How Neiman Marcus’s Discounts Typically Work

Neiman Marcus usually offers two types of deals during Black Friday. One is a tiered savings event where the more you spend, the bigger your discount. The other is deep markdowns on select items that can go as high as 75% off. These are separate promotions but often happen at the same time.

For the tiered discount, last year Neiman Marcus offered up to $500 off your purchase, depending on how much you spent. They had a promo code (last year it was THANKFUL) which you needed to enter at checkout to get the discount. Here’s how the tiered savings worked:

  • $50 off when you spent $250 or more
  • $125 off when you spent $500 or more
  • $250 off when you spent $1000 or more
  • $500 off when you spent $2000 or more

This type of offer is likely to return in 2025 with similar thresholds and savings amounts. It was valid across beauty, fragrances, grooming, and cologne products. This “spend more, save more” structure encourages larger purchases, especially for those planning to buy multiple gifts or luxury beauty items.

Discounts of Up to 75% Off

Apart from the promo code offer, Neiman Marcus also runs huge discounts on select sale merchandise, with markdowns reaching up to 75% off. These discounts usually apply to already reduced items, so it’s more of a clearance-style sale on fashion, shoes, and accessories.

Keep in mind, the 75% off doesn’t apply to everything. Qualifying items are marked on the website. You’ll see some items go down by 20%, some by 40%, and a few by as much as 75% off their original prices. These discounts are reflected in your shopping cart automatically, so there’s no need for a code.

Last year, Neiman Marcus had categories like women’s designer shoes, handbags, men’s clothing, and home décor included in this markdown section. However, top-tier designer pieces rarely make it to 75% off. They tend to stay within the 20-40% off range during this sale.

Designer Sale: Up to 40% Off

In addition to the general sale section, Neiman Marcus usually has a special “Designer Sale” during Black Friday. This is where selected designer styles are discounted by 25-40%. It’s important to note that this applies to a curated list of designer items, not the entire inventory.

Brands like Akris Punto, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, Chloe, and Veronica Beard are expected to be part of this year’s sale. If you’re looking for a good deal on high-end fashion, this is the section to watch.

These designer discounts aren’t as steep as the 75% markdowns but are significant when you consider how rarely some of these luxury brands go on sale. As always, Neiman Marcus will mark these items clearly on the site so you’ll know which ones qualify.

Featured Deals From Last Year

Looking back at the 2024 sale, here are some examples of items that were part of Neiman Marcus’s Black Friday discounts:

  • Dolce & Gabbana Logo Leather Sneakers – Originally priced at $695, they were marked down by 40% to $417.
  • Chloe Small Woody Tote – This bag was discounted from $990 to $693, a 30% markdown.
  • Akris Punto Wool-Blend Blazer – Retailing at $1,490, this classic piece was 25% off, bringing it down to $1,117.
  • Giorgio Armani Lip Power Lipsticks – Part of the beauty promo code offer, customers got $50 off purchases of $250 or more.
  • Veronica Beard Miller Dickey Jacket – Originally $695, shoppers found it for $521, which was a 25% discount.
  • Saint Laurent Kate Chain Wallet – Not part of the deepest markdowns but offered at 20% off, reducing its price from $1,790 to $1,432.
  • Men’s Brunello Cucinelli Cashmere Sweater – Listed at $2,195, it was part of the designer 25% off category, bringing the price down to $1,646.

Navy Exchange Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Updated on Wednesday, November 12, 2025: Every year, NEX hosts one of its biggest sales during Black Friday, and this year should be no different. Here’s a look at what you should expect this year, when the sales will likely go live, the types of discounts typically offered, and examples of deals we saw last year.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates (Expected)

Navy Exchange’s Black Friday Sale is a 3-day event every year. For 2025, it will most likely start online on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, 2025. Keep in mind that all NEX stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day itself, so you’ll only be able to shop online that day. Then, in-store sales are expected to begin early on Friday morning, November 28, 2025. Depending on your local store, doors will open at either 5:00 AM or 7:00 AM. The sale will continue through Saturday evening, November 29, 2025.

The NEX Black Friday ad usually gets leaked a few days before the sale starts (it’s usually around 48 pages long). Last year, it was released on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, which means we can expect the 2025 ad to drop around Sunday, November 23, 2025. That will give you a few days to browse the deals and plan what to buy.

A very important thing to remember is that shopping at Navy Exchange is not open to the general public. You need to be an active-duty military member, a retiree, a reservist, or a dependent with access to shop at NEX. They will verify your status before you can make any purchases during the sale.

Expected Discounts and Deal Trends

Based on previous years, most deals during NEX’s Black Friday sale fall in the 20% to 50% off range. Some items, like specific electronics or limited-time doorbusters, might go even higher. For example, last year there were deals offering up to 60% off on select kitchen appliances and toys.

Here’s a general breakdown of what discount levels you can expect in 2025 based on last year’s sale trends:

  • Large Electronics (TVs, Laptops, Tablets): 20% to 40% off, with select models discounted even deeper.
  • Small Kitchen Appliances (Coffee Makers, Air Fryers, Blenders): 30% to 50% off.
  • Toys and Games: Up to 50% off on top brands like LEGO, Barbie, and Nerf.
  • Clothing and Footwear: 25% to 40% off across men’s, women’s, and kids’ apparel.
  • Jewelry and Watches: 30% to 50% off select styles.
  • Home Essentials (Vacuum Cleaners, Cookware Sets): Up to 50% off.
  • Beauty Products: Gift sets and beauty kits were discounted up to 40%.

It’s worth noting that while NEX’s prices are already tax-free and often competitively lower than civilian stores, Black Friday gives an extra price drop that’s hard to beat for eligible shoppers.

Featured Deals From Last Year

To get a better idea of what might be on sale this year, here’s a look at some actual items that were featured during NEX’s Black Friday sale in 2024:

  • Samsung 75” Class 4K UHD Smart TV: Discounted to $579.99, which was around $100 cheaper than other major retailers.
  • Apple iPad (9th Gen): Priced at $249.99, a $70 discount from its regular price.
  • Keurig K-Supreme Coffee Maker: On sale for $79.99, down from $129.99.
  • Dyson V8 Animal Cordless Vacuum: Dropped to $299.99 from the usual $449.99.
  • LEGO Star Wars Sets: Select sets were 30% off.
  • Barbie Dreamhouse Playset: Marked down to $179.99, saving $50.
  • Men’s Under Armour Hoodies: Reduced to $29.99, originally priced at $50.
  • Coach Handbags: Select styles were offered at 40% off.
  • Fitbit Versa 4 Smartwatch: Priced at $149.99, which was $50 off.
  • Calphalon 10-Piece Cookware Set: Discounted to $199.99, down from $299.99.
  • Fragrance Gift Sets (Versace, Gucci, etc.): Up to 40% off.

These examples give a good picture of what categories tend to get the deepest discounts. Electronics and kitchen gadgets are usually headliners, but toys and fashion deals are also strong. If you’re looking for gifts, it’s a good time to grab beauty sets and jewelry too.
