Winter is upon us, and even closer still is Thanksgiving. With Black Friday soon to follow, savvy shoppers know that the best winter coats for women will be the first to run out of stock. And as someone who winters in New York and tests jackets every season, I’m keen to which brands are hosting sales.
I’ve seen a few retailers getting ahead of the holiday frenzy by launching early Black Friday deals on winter coats: Columbia is offering up to 40% off select styles, making it a great time to snag one of its insulated parkas or down jackets for less. At Nordstrom, you can take advantage of an extra 30% off clearance items, which means big savings on premium brands like And over at Lands’ End, its Black Friday Preview Sale has up to 50% off select outerwear, including cozy puffers and water-resistant styles that are perfect for layering.
To help you find the best options, I’ve rounded up standout deals from some of the most trusted names in outerwear — including a few from our guide to the best winter coats for women.
The best winter coats for women on sale before Black Friday
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday falls on November 28, 2025, but many retailers are offering early deals throughout November — and some sales will last through Cyber Monday.
Are early Black Friday deals worth it?
They can be. Retailers like Columbia, Lands’ End, and Nordstrom often match or extend these discounts through the main event, so buying early helps ensure you get your preferred style and size.
What types of women’s coats are on sale right now?
Early Black Friday sales include a wide range of styles — from down parkas and puffers to wool-blend dress coats, trench coats, and waterproof shells. Many brands also discount accessories like hats and gloves during the same events.
How can I find the best price on a specific coat?
Try checking multiple retailers, signing up for store newsletters, and using price-tracking tools. Our team also regularly updates our Black Friday deal roundups with discounts to help you score the lowest prices.
Should I wait until Black Friday to buy a coat?
Do so at your own risk. While some stores may add new markdowns closer to the date, inventory on popular styles and sizes tends to sell out quickly. If you see a coat you love on sale now, it’s better to grab it early.
