Black Friday in South Africa has long moved from a one-day spectacle to a full week (or more) of discounts, flash offers and “pre-black” sales. Whether you prefer the buzz of malls in Sandton City or browsing from your couch via apps like Superbalist or Bash, 2025 promises plenty of chances to refresh your wardrobe without busting your budget. Below, we dive into what most shoppers can expect this Black Friday — and then spotlight at least eight fashion deals (in-store or online) relevant to Johannesburg stylists and shoppers.
What to Expect This Black Friday: Fashion Edition
1. Deep discounts across categories
Many fashion retailers will offer 20% to 70% off across clothing, shoes and accessories. For instance, Superbalist is already advertising up to 70% off on fashion, shoes and accessories.

2. Combo Deals & “take 2 / mix & match” offers
Rather than just a flat discount, stores may bundle items (e.g. “Buy 2 get 1 free,” “Take 2 for R500,” or “Mix & match 3 items, lowest free”)
3. Early access / “pre-Black Friday” deals
To drum up excitement and reduce weekend chaos, many retailers begin offering specials early. Power Fashion, for example, teased early access deals starting 21 November.
4. Click & Collect, extended hours & free delivery
Expect more retailers to combine online and physical presence via Click & Collect, longer mall hours, or free delivery on orders above a certain amount.
5. Limited stock, limited sizes”
One of the biggest challenges: the best deals disappear fast, especially in larger sizes. Shoppers often report that going early (or online) yields better selection.

Tips to Maximise Your Fashion Haul
- Make a wishlist and set alerts: Use apps or the retailer’s notification system so you know when items drop.
- Start early: Don’t assume the best sizes / styles will still be around on the day.
- Combine offers smartly: If there’s a “take 2 / 3” deal plus a site discount, stacking can yield huge savings.
- Use Click & Collect when possible: Helps avoid delivery delays or stock-outs.
- Check return policies: Some deep-discount items may be final sale, so know what you’re committing to.
- Compare “discounted” vs original prices: Sometimes retailers inflate original prices just before Black Friday to make the discount seem larger.
- Watch for extended “Black Weekend” or “Cyber Monday” carryover deals: Some fashion deals will persist days after the main event.
Get Ready To Shop ’til Your Drop!
Black Friday 2025 will be a blend of flash thrills, calculated browsing and frantic “grab it before it’s gone” moments.
But if you’re based in Johannesburg, the combo of in-mall deals (Edgars, MrP, H&M, Power Fashion) plus robust online platforms (Superbalist, Bash, Adidas) means you’ve got multiple tactical pathways to knock off your wishlist.
