My 58-Year-Old Mum and I Scrolled Through Hundreds of Black Friday Buys—21 Chic Pieces That Stood Out

Shopping with my mum has always been one of my favourite activities. At 58, with decades of fashion experience behind her, she has an incredible eye for pieces that feel considered yet slightly unexpected. She knows a great investment buy when she sees one, isn’t afraid of trend-led high-street finds if they feel timeless enough to work in her wardrobe, and happily takes risks without ever compromising her sense of style (which she has, naturally, perfected). She’s the ideal shopping partner and the only person whose approval I seek before committing to something in my basket.

Sale shopping is no different, and this Black Friday, I was excited to scroll through some of our favourite brands together to see what they had to offer. Spoiler alert: there’s a lot of goodness out there. And while we’re not advocates for buying just because something is discounted, we are always on the lookout for pieces that feel genuinely worth the investment—especially with a well-timed price drop. Note: this doesn’t just apply to fashion! There are also some fantastic Black Friday 2025 beauty deals that my mum and I are eyeing up, too.
