Remember how Elizabeth Tamkin, a.k.a. Man Repeller’s market wizard, is who you go to when you’re looking for something very specific? Well, she’s also who you go to if you’re not sure WHAT you’re looking for, which is why she’s the perfect Black Friday sale sleuth. Below, the results of her recent internet sweep for the best post-Thanksgiving sales — including what she’s eyeing and how to get it for less, by category. Shopping for you? You mom? Your sister? Grand. Grab some egg nog, put on a pair of cozy socks preferably featuring bells, and prepare to open 30 tabs.
So Many Good Boots…
Let’s start with boots. These red patent leather ones have all been on my list ever since they hit the internet. I also love these mustard ones to wear with a cool sock through the slush of the city. And what about these knee high cowboys? They’re $60 off!

…And Coats!
I’ve been in a bit of a coat slump and have my eye on every single one of these babies. I am especially thrilled about this coat from Amelia’s fall editorial because it’s now $73.50. Or this one that’s a literal sleeping bag! I’d like to wear this one with a chain belt. They’re all perfect for picking the final apples of fall and then singing carols in the snow, in my professional opinion.

Jeans are one of the smartest items to buy on Black Friday because they are valuable all year ’round.

…Or Sweater Mode?
It’s sweater weather in case you didn’t get the temperature memo. I’ve been eyeing this neon MSGM number and this NAADAM half-zip for months.
