From heritage Americana to modern-day prep mall staple, the Abercrombie & Fitch Black Friday sale is proving to be a breeding ground for on-trend fits at approachable prices. You’d do pretty well shopping at The Moose even without the holiday discounts, but navigating the Fierce-soaked retailer isn’t a guaranteed win. See, no brand or designer is perfect. Even the greatest designers have a few duds in their portfolio and while Abercrombie’s portfolio is pretty robust, we did the hard work of sniffing out the best from the rest.
Our crack team of fashion researchers (a.k.a. Professional window shoppers) has experienced the Moose from its basic necessities to its hyper-trendy pieces and here’s what we’ve concluded. Abercrombie’s fortes are knitwear, denim, and bottoms, with a smattering of solid pieces in outerwear and shirting. Another strong suit? Major discounts. You can grab Abercrombie’s crop of preppy classics for 25%-50% off, plus free shipping if you spend over $99. Get into the weeds and see for yourself if you like, but we boiled it down to the best of the best right here.

Relaxed Straight Jean
I was legitimately surprised when I first handled Abercrombie’s denim. In every respect it’s better than I expected. From the heavyweight denim to the clean construction to the tasteful distressing, it’s one of the brand’s sleeper hits no doubt.

Western Straight Jean
Yes, you can pull of bootcut jeans. The key is to mix it up with distinctly non-western-tinged goods. Throw on a V-neck sweater and a trench coat over top et voila!

The Moose’s jeans are a secret style hack that would impress even the snobbiest of selvedge bros. And that’s coming from a sobby selvedge bro.

Baggy Jean
Tasteful denim washes are tough to find. The great ones are super expensive and the cheap ones look like they used a can of spray paint and a cardboard stencil. This one is somehow tasteful and not expensive.

Abercrombie Cyber Week FAQ
This year in the US, Black Friday is on Friday, November 28, a day after Thanksgiving. While that’s the official date, many retailers roll out deals throughout November. You can expect the biggest discounts to happen between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, but be on the look out for retailers to launch sales early.
Cyber Monday always falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving, which means this year it will be on December 1. Most Cyber Monday sales will extend through the end of the week, but that’s not a given.
What are the best things to buy at Abercrombie & Fitch?
We’ve written about Abercrombie’s polos plenty of times because they’re just so good for the price. Start there. Then, hit up their jeans and cargo pants. You’ll be surprised by the former and not the latter (the cargo pants were always good). Then, grab some outerwear. The Moose does a great job of referencing vintage workwear garments and their jackets and coats are where it shines.
