NO LIE: Investment buys you’ll never regret making during Black Friday 2023

Something from a brand you couldn’t normally afford, like THE ROW. MY PICK: Carlus wool turtleneck sweater, available at 70% OFF at NET-A-PORTER
* The Row experiments with scale and proportion to give otherwise traditional designs a contemporary edge – this ‘Carlus’ sweater, with its extra long sleeves, is a prime example. It’s spun from fine wool and has a classic turtleneck. Scrunch up the cuffs at your wrist, or leave them to drape freely.

A WOOL COAT, and more goodies from The Frankie Shop. MY PICK: The Suzanne coat, available at 70% OFF at NET-A-PORTER
* Frankie Shop’s ‘Suzanne’ trench coat is designed in a traditional longline shape with subtle layering at the bodice and back. Cut from cream wool-blend felt, it has notched lapels and pull tabs at the shoulders and cuffs. Use the removable belt to cinch your waist.

As seen worn by Sabine of @disco_forest: LOULOU STUDIO’s double-breasted ‘Ido’ coat takes inspiration from classic menswear tailoring. Patterned with tonal pinstripes, it’s made from organic wool and cashmere-blend and cut for a loose fit, which is emphasized by its boxy shoulders.

THAT MAX MARA CULT COAT THAT IS NEVER ON SALE: The Teddy Bear in red is now available at 40% OFF at NET-A-PORTER
* Max Mara’s cult ‘Teddy Bear’ coat was such a hit when it first launched in 2013 that it was reissued again and again – the label says that wearing it «feels like returning home.» This oversized style is made from an alpaca-blend woven with touches of wool and silk for a super soft handle. Layer it over everything from slip dresses to leather pants.

YOUR DESIGNER BAG OF PREFERENCE. My pick: The Maison Margiela 5AC Baby textured-leather and cotton-canvas shoulder bag, available at 50% OFF at NET-A-PORTER
* This ‘Baby’ version of Maison Margiela’s ‘5AC’ bag is scaled down to micro proportions. Crafted from textured-leather, it features a logo-appliquéd cotton-canvas pouch which peeks out at the top and has multiple styling options – wear the chain strap cross-body or hold the dainty handles.
