Black Friday, Nov 27

Dress for four hours on your feet.

Wear leggings or a skort, a breathable top, and a hat for the parking lot. Skip anything you have to adjust. You will be walking, carrying bags and changing in fitting rooms. Here is the carry list, then the pieces.

  • A waistband that stays where you put it
  • A top that works alone or under a jacket
  • Sneakers you already broke in
  • A hat for the walk from the far lot
  • Nothing that needs a tug every ten minutes

The bottom half: leggings you will not tug at

Black Friday is a walking day, so the bottom half matters most. A waistband that rolls down is a bad deal by the second hour. The Tiffany Legging in Black is $75 and runs Small to Large. The Luna Legging in Blush is $75 in the same sizes.

Trying things on? Run the squat check in the fitting room first. We wrote a short guide on how to tell if leggings are squat proof, and another on why leggings roll down.

The top half: a polo that works alone or under a jacket

I would pick a polo over a tee here. It looks put together under mall lighting and it has stretch for the fitting room. The Chloe Polo in Navy is $30 and the Velm Sleeveless Polo in Sky Blue is $29, both Extra Small to Extra Large. Want built-in support with no extra layer? The Abby Top is a moisture-wicking tank with a built-in bra, $48 in Small to Large.

Here are three pairings that already match, with a size picker on every piece.

The parking lot: a hat and a plan

Stores run cool inside. The lot runs bright outside, and Valley highs in late November are usually close to 70. A hat is the cheapest fix. The Brooks Rope Hat in Tan is $38 and the Eden Hat in White is $40. Both are one size, so there is nothing to guess. For the rest of your week, see what to wear in Phoenix in November.

  • Cold storeBring a jacket you already own. Keep the polo on underneath so you can shed it in line.
  • Long outdoor linesAdd a hat, and keep the leggings. Nothing to flap in the wind.
  • Fitting room dayLeggings and a sleeveless polo. Both come off and on without a fight.

Dinner after: the swap

Shopping often rolls into dinner. Keep the polo and swap the bottom. The Ellie Skirt in White is $35 and goes Extra Small to Large. We covered when that works in leggings under a skirt and what to wear when dinner is a holiday one in leggings to Thanksgiving dinner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear Black Friday shopping?

Wear leggings or a skort, a breathable top, and a hat for the parking lot. Pick pieces you will not adjust. You will be walking, carrying bags and changing in fitting rooms for hours.

Are leggings okay for Black Friday shopping?

Yes. Leggings with a waistband that stays put are the most practical bottom for a long shopping day. Do a quick squat check in the fitting room before you buy a new pair.

What should I wear shopping in Arizona in late November?

Dress for two climates. Stores run cool inside and the parking lot is bright outside, with Valley highs usually close to 70. A polo you can wear alone, plus a jacket from your closet for cold aisles, covers both.

Should I wear a skort or leggings to shop?

Either works. Leggings win for fitting rooms and long walks. A skort wins if you are going straight to dinner afterward, since you can swap the look without changing your top.

Does PILLAR have a Black Friday sale?

This guide does not promise one. What is always true is free shipping over $75, so a two piece outfit order from your couch qualifies once the bag reaches that total.
