I Discovered the 41 Best On-Sale Jackets You Need to Shop for Black Friday
Oh—and not a single item on this list exceeds $400.
Do you feel that bone-chilling gust of wind? Yep, that’s right, winter is officially upon us, which means that I’ve been stocking up on all my cold-weather essentials while they're on sale for Black Friday. In addition to shopping for the best Black Friday fashion deals on essentials like knee-high boots, chunky cardigans, and floor-sweeping barrel jeans, I’m also on the hunt for the best on-sale jackets that will keep me nice and toasty all season long.
At Nordstrom, shoppers can take advantage of major markdowns right now up until Friday, November 29. Meanwhile, you can score up to 40 percent off your purchase at Madewell. If you glance at Banana Republic’s site, you’ll discover hundreds of sale items that are 50 percent off. And that’s just the tip of the jacket sale iceberg—brands like Everlane, Shopbop, Saks Fifth Avenue, Revolve, and more offer incredible discounts, including some very chic discounted designer finds. J. Crew's selection of on-sale coats is second to none, so expect to see a few styles from the brand here, too.
Naturally, I scoured all the retailers above and found the best jacket styles at amazing prices. So, if you want to stay warm this winter, scroll on for a list of 30 jackets that will help you do just that for less than $400. It’s time to bundle up!

I have several floor-sweeping trench coats, but I’m looking to add a cropped version into the mix. Enter, this alternative from Lioness adorned with a thigh-skimming hemline. I’m obsessed with its silhouette, which is further enhanced by a delicate wrap tie that cinches the waist.
I just bought this billowing jacket from Everlane, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that it has easily become my favorite puffer. Aside from offering a toasty feel, it’s also extremely versatile—I’ve worn this piece with every pair of bottoms imaginable from laid-back leggings to dressy tailored trousers.
J.Crew’s pleated denim layer puts a ladylike twist on the traditional jean jacket with a collarless neckline and a soft silhouette. Style this look with a pair of coordinating denim bottoms, and you’ve got yourself a chic Canadian tuxedo.
You can’t build a wardrobe of winter jackets without a padded puffer. J.Crew’s Stowe puffer is crafted with an insulated down fabric that is guaranteed to provide extra warmth as temperatures continue to drop.
If you haven’t heard the latest fashion news, barn jackets are everywhere. Test-drive this hardwearing trend with 1.STATE’s cozy cotton-twill layer decorated with corduroy collars and charming cuffs.
Enjoy savings of over $100 off this longline puffer jacket from Ralph Lauren. It's the epitome of quiet luxury.
‘80s-inspired leather bomber jackets are taking over the fashion set. Play into the retro style with Topshop’s version, which boasts a slightly oversized construction and sharp collars.
This coat is so chic, I'm buying it for my mom for Christmas this year. The rich-looking camel shade is so timeless, so I know she'll love it.
If you don’t own a trench yet, or if you’re looking to expand your collection, do just that with J.Crew’s streamlined trench designed with satin crepe.
Snagging a designer jacket like this Ralph Lauren pick for less than $120 is the definition of a Black Friday deal.
Swap out your usual bomber for this slightly cropped version that has very ladylike bubbled sleeves.
I’ve been eyeing this sherpa-collar jacket for quite some time. Now that it’s dropped down to $96, I have no choice but to add it to my shopping cart.
It might not be October anymore, but I can't stop thinking about Everlane's October Coat. The boxier silhouette is perfect for layering.
J.Crew's barn jackets are forever going to be iconic in my mind, but this denim iteration feels a little cooler than the usual options the brand sells.
Tap into your inner cool girl with this retro-feeling bomber jacket. And yes, it's less than $100 in the sale.
Back in college, I bought a green utility jacket that I wore practically every single week. After losing my cherished piece post-grad, I’m in the market for a new one. Lucky for me, I think I just found my match, thanks to Free People.
Everlane’s quilted jacket has a nearly five-star rating for a reason. Customers can’t get enough of its supple texture and roomy design. Also, it’s sold in five eye-catching colorways. I’ll take all of them, please!
Add some color into your routine with this bright blue puffer coat from Lululemon. I've had my eye on it for weeks.
Everlane's markdowns are too good to pass up, just take a look at this oversized anorak for proof. It's perfect for wearing in the rain and comes in several neutral colors (and the length means that your expertly-planned outfit won't be ruined by the elements.)
Shades of sapphire are topping the color trend charts, and it’s only a matter of time before this rich hue is everywhere. Get ahead of the style with En Saison’s lustrous funnel-neck puffer jacket.
Ask any style expert about suede jackets, and they’ll tell you that this iconic outerwear style is an undisputed closet mainstay. Do yourself a favor and invest in one now, and go ahead and grab a suede bag while you’re at it.
Believe it or not, I don’t own a single teddy jacket. Well, all that is about to change because I just discovered Everlane’s option (and I’m obsessed!). I can’t stop thinking about its intricately woven panels, zippered patch pockets, and ribbed cuffs.
This lightweight $100 jacket from FP Movement is perfect for wearing on your next winter run or hike.
This glossy printed puffer (which is on sale for just $100) perfectly marries sportiness and warmth.
Alo Yoga makes way more than chic leggings and supportive sports bras—they also make the layers that will keep you warm when you're heading to the gym. Case in point: this black puffer.
Putting together the perfect going-out getup can pose a bit of a challenge, but allow me to make things a bit easier for you. Introducing, Madewell’s belted jean jacket stitched with a dark wash denim fabric that will look great alongside a pair of glossy leather pants.
My lineup of jackets is fairly plain and simple, so I’m planning to spruce things up a bit. I’ll be stepping outside of the style box with Mercer Collective’s Atlas jacket, designed with a fascinating color block exterior that will surely make onlookers stare.
I’m a sucker for a good trench coat. Whether you’re dressed to the nines underneath or in your favorite sweatpants set, your outfit is pretty much sorted. This belted number from Reformation comes in a few colors, but the brown check pattern gives a modern, vintage feel.
COS' take on a shearling jacket brings the softest fabric with a relaxed, boxy shape, and the rounded collar adds just the right amount of elegance. Style this one with your favorite dad jeans and a sleek turtleneck for the quintessential cool-cozy look.
Who says rainy days are meant to stay in? The perfect parka will have you ready to brace any and all conditions—in style, of course. I’m loving this one’s mock neck and detachable hood, plus the elasticized waist adds dimension to the oversized silhouette.
Give a vintage Americana vibe with this aviator-style bomber jacket.
I’m working on building a winter capsule wardrobe, and this hooded duffle coat is the definition of a staple piece. It’s beautifully tailored but still wearable for everyday, and the wool blend will keep you snug for the season.
Make a bold statement in this '90s-esque leather trench that cuts a sharp silhouette.
Need something to throw on for your morning coffee walks, while still looking like you tried? Not your average utility jacket, this super chic rendition of the classic style features a relaxed fit that makes it an ideal layer.
If you want to try the leather trench look but need an extra bit of warmth, go for one with a fur-lined collar like this Michael Kors number.
The best way to stay blanket-warm is to wrap yourself up in a plush longline coat. With this shearling lined leather coat, Topshop has you covered.
With the rising suede trend and slated return boho chic, it’s safe to say the ‘70s are coming back. This sherpa-lined, faux leather jacket is a contemporary interpretation of the lavish coats of the era, and gives the glamour with a more laid-back vibe.
COS delivers some of the best elevated basics in fashion, and the fall/winter collection is no exception. A true standout piece, I’m getting bundled up in this wool scarf-coat-combo accented by leather trim detailing. Can't go wrong with a 2-in-1 moment.
I often find myself gravitating toward the same black, white and brown pieces (as do most of us), so I’m bringing in a pop of cherry red to change up the routine.
These days, snowy days are few and far between—rain showers seem to be the norm. This insulated, water-repellent Nike jacket will keep you dry and warm for any forecast.
Speaking of rain, Rains is one of fashion’s it-brands in the realm of technical wear. Get suited up for any storm in this wind and water resistant jacket.
What Is Black Friday?
Black Friday is perhaps one of the largest sale events in the United States. It takes place every Friday directly after Thanksgiving and often lasts for an entire day (although some retailers extend their on-sale offerings beyond that period of time). This year, the official Black Friday 2024 event begins on Friday, November 29. Overall, deals range from bundle sales to tiered discounts, and even sitewide sales.
