We won't lie. Black Friday shopping is a sport. Between literally thousands of items going on sale in the span of 24 hours and sales happening at countless brands and retailers, the shopping holiday can be daunting at best and sometimes downright stressful. So instead of leaving you to aimlessly add items to your shopping cart come November 29, we took it upon ourselves to create the ultimate Black Friday capsule wardrobe filled with the items you'll get the most wear out of this winter.
We narrowed in on the building blocks that any winter wardrobe would pretty much starve without—things like essential puffer coats and functional winter boots—and then added in a handful of the key trends of the season, such as snakeskin print and leather separates. We may be biased, but this capsule wardrobe is foolproof. Shop it from top to bottom to refresh your entire closet at a steep discount, or score on a few key pieces you're most in need of.
You might want to go ahead and bookmark this edit as we get closer to the epic sales and reference it when you go shopping. Simply continue on to see every trend and essential and the exact item we're recommending for each.
Winter Essentials
Puffer Coat
We couldn't survive the winter without a solid puffer coat on hand.
Boxy Blazer
This valuable wardrobe staple deserves to be in rotation 365 days of the year.
Layering Turtleneck
We love the idea of layering this under low-cut dresses.
Black Jeans
Our black jeans get way more wear than our blue denim this time of year.
Loungewear Set
Cozy (and chic) loungewear is the ultimate luxury.
How good are the matching pants?
Black Leggings
These have a ton of five-star reviews.
Rubber-Soled Boots
Both a trendy and functional pick this winter.
Beanie
Opt for a beanie in an unexpected color.
Scarf
A cashmere scarf is on our wish lists each winter.
Socks to Wear With Boots
Keeping warm in the winter is a full-time job—these will help.
Winter Trends
Leather Dress
To wear with a turtleneck layered underneath.
Knee-High Boots
Tuck your straight-leg jeans and pants into these to mirror the fashion crowd.
Statement Sweater
A statement sweater like this striped one is the easiest way to stand out without really trying to.

I'll always say yes to snakeskin print.
"Grandma" Bag
Timeless yet still so current.
Pearl Jewelry
Great for everyday wear or for party dressing.

To wear at home or out with jeans.
