And plenty of theseearly deals would make nice holiday gifts. We’ve been rounding up so many goodBlack Friday deals, it’s hard to keep track, so today, I’m guiding you through some of the very best ones, in my opinion.

One of the better deals that Anthropologie offers is going on now: All sale items are an extra 40 percent off at checkout. There are a lot of pants, especially from in-house brands like Maeve and Pilcro. I also like these mesh sneakers (they come in four colors) and this waterproof cross-body from Rains.

If you want on-sale Le Bon Shoppe, go to Ban.do. The deals have been few and far between lately, but for Black Friday, everything from the brand is 25 percent off. I’m a fan of its cashmere-and-wool scarf and Arc pants and have my eye on its sweatshirts. (The rest of Ban.do’s site is 35 percent off with the code ITSHERE, too, if you want to look around.)

Most shoes are 25 percent off at KEEN for Cyber Week. While we love theJasper, the Jasper Zionic looks a bit better for slushy winter roads, and the color and sizing availability is much better.

Margauxis having a Black Friday sale of its own (20 percent off sitewide), but I spotted a much better deal on these patent-leather pumps for Nordstrom’s Cyber Week event. They’re very “grown-upSamantha Parkington.”

As I always say, you should never be buying Lands’ End at full price. It’s nearly always having a sitewide sale, and the discount is usually 50 percent off. (You can often find its products on sale at Nordstrom, but the discount is never as good.) One such half-off deal: cashmere-lined gloves that you can still use with your phone. They’d make anexcellent gift!

Everything is 30 percent off at Youth to the People, a sale that Amazon is price-matching. Associate editorJeremy Rellosahas been using its cleanser for years and likens the experience to “a skin-care treatment at a spa.” It’s super-concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
