PSA: There are already some amazing Sweaty Betty deals ahead of Black Friday
Sweaty Betty's Black Friday sale is always a big one. The legendary sports brand gets seriously stuck in when it comes to the November discounting and we've reason to believe this year will be no different. To put that in context, last year we enjoyed 25% off everything on site and 50% off over 200 selected items. And if you can't wait, there are already some huge deals across the site.
With a site-wide code it's safe to assume we got a great haul on the cards for this year's Black Friday sale – we're talking the much-loved power leggings, special ultra running bras and even the brand's skiwear range (the season is just around the corner, people!).
We always breathe a sigh of relief when we see a blanket promotion. There's just something so satisfying about being able to shop the full range, instead of hastily purchasing old season items (we've all been victims of clearance panic and buying dodgy-coloured leggings in a size too small).
If you're not already a member (or Insider), we reckon it's worth signing up (dw, it's free) as Sweaty Betty tends to look after their own, with exclusive discounts very much on the cards. Plus you get free delivery and 50% off on your birthday, so why wouldn't you?
And if you're feeling a little overwhelmed by this info, don't stress, we're on hand with a helpful guide to navigating the 2024 Black Friday sales with ease.
First up, bookmark this page and keep checking back, as Sweaty Betty has been known to drop new deals early as well as during the sale. Secondly, take a look at what we're adding to our carts if you need a bit of inspo — we've listed some of the best Sweaty Betty deals live now, as well as the best pieces we bagged last year. And don't forget, they make great Christmas presents!
Best Sweaty Betty deals ahead of Black Friday
This year, we don't even have to wait for the Black Friday sale as Sweaty Betty has generously knocked down their winter essentials range by 30%! Here are our top picks from the sale:
What should I shop in the Sweaty Betty Black Friday sale?
Gymwear
If you're waiting until the Black Friday sales to re-stock your gym wardrobe, you're a smart cookie. High up on our list is a decent pair of leggings, as well as essentials like thermals, yoga mats and sports bras. Here are our top picks — some are already discounted, so move fast!
Skiwear
The brand also does beautiful skiwear that's both practical and very pretty (we're talking on-trend kick flare salopettes, colourblock thermal co-ords and fluffy-hooded snow parkas). If you're counting down the days till the season starts, why not treat yourself to some new get-up once the 2024 Black Friday sale drops? These are the skiwear garms we're adding to our carts...
Lounge & Ready-to-wear
Honestly, since the whole lockdown thing we've lived in hoodies, joggers and pyjamas. Sweaty Betty has always made great hybrid pieces for chilling and low-intensity activities, however in recent years the brand has upped its loungewear game considerably. Now you can find luxurious cashmere cardigans, oversized wool jumpers, comfy boilersuits and knitted tracksuits on the site. Here's what we're saving on (and subsequently living in) this year:
Arguably the most popular women's sports brand out there, Sweaty Betty is loved by the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Alicia Vikander, Jessica Alba, Claudia Schiffer, Pippa Middleton and her sister The Princess of Wales.
So, obvs, if its good enough for royalty, it must be really spenny then? Well, yes, and no. The brand's cult Power leggings are worth every penny – just ask anyone you know, they probably own a pair, or read the rave reviews on the brand's site.
Basically, these bum-sculpting babies will hold everything in when you're running, lifting, hiking, squatting (we could go on...), are fully opaque (no mean feat, yoga fans will attest) and are said to keep their shape even after years of use. Now tell us that isn't good value for money?
Actually, now that Black Friday is nearly here, don't even bother asking yourself that question – because Sweaty Betty bits are about to become much more affordable. You'll need to look alive if you wanna grab the last size 12 in your precious printed Power leggings, though; buzzy items sell out quickly.
Does Sweaty Betty take part in Black Friday?
SB is a big fan of Black Friday, having taken part for five years in a row now.
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday always falls on the fourth weekend of November, which is the 29th in 2024, and the sales usually extend through the weekend into Cyber Monday, which falls on 2nd December. Last year, Sweaty Betty's sale ended at midnight on Cyber Monday.
It makes sense really, that the sale falls before Christmas: who wants to see their thoughtful presents slapped with a huge red sale tag just one day after they were gifted?
So, what exactly is Black Friday?
Originating in America, Black Friday refers to the annual post-Thanksgiving sales – which are chaotic, to say the least. The event was thought to be kick-started by department store Macy’s in the '30s, but the term 'Black Friday' wasn't officially coined until years later.
Fast forward to the big hair and lycra times of the '80s and the manic shopping period we know and – kind of – love today began to truly take shape.
Amazon was the first to give Black Friday a whirl in the UK, offering customers online discounts and deals on the same day as the sales in the US. Asda came next in 2013 with its in-store event, which included huge discounts on TVs and tech (there were physical fights, FYI).
Now, Black Friday has overtaken Boxing Day as the the biggest shopping event of the year, with most high street retailers taking part in some way.
How much is Sweaty Betty shipping on Black Friday?
We'll be the first to admit, shopping IRL at this time of year is hella hectic. So we advise taking shelter at home and making your Black Friday purchases online. However, this does mean some extra shipping costs may apply.
