I'm an American Living in France, and These 15 Winter Styles Are All Over the Streets of Paris-Starting at $20

"Black Friday has long been my favorite holiday-let's get through the turkey and get to the shopping! As an American living in Paris, I haven't been able to indulge in the rush that comes along with serious retail therapy and unbeatable sales. The French are slowly getting on board with the sales event and are offering some discounts outside of the twice-annual soldes sale periods in late January and July. However, the best Black Friday deals are online-and rolling in all weekend long."

"A cozy sweatshirt tops my list of winter must-haves, but Parisians would never be caught in anything too baggy or bearing a logo. This puff-sleeve look from Madewell adds a stylish spin to a simple staple piece and can be easily dressed up or down. For a nice dinner or evening out, I'd pair it with tapered black trousers and micro kitten heels, while for a day of museum hopping,"

"I can't wait until after the new year to stock up on staples for the season, so Black Friday online shopping has become the one Thanksgiving week tradition I continue abroad. Before the sale, I spent days scouring the sales to narrow down some of the best clothing sales for winter that capture the French "cool girl" aesthetic-which is even harder when you're bundled up for the cold."

Black Friday online sales offer the most significant discounts for winter clothing, often appearing outside France's twice-annual soldes in January and July. French retailers are gradually adopting Black Friday promotions, but the deepest deals are available online throughout the weekend. Curated picks highlight 15 top sales from brands such as Everlane, Gap, Nordstrom Rack, and Madewell, with selections starting around $20. Featured items include cropped cardigans, repeat-wear midi skirts, wool coats, puff-sleeve sweatshirts, and fleece jackets. Styling ideas pair puff-sleeve sweatshirts with tapered trousers or layered coats. A Madewell promo code LETSGO provides an extra 50 percent off for Black Friday.
