The FW Five: Black Friday Edition

We don’t get why anyone would line up at the crack of dawn for a Black Friday sale on new plasma TVs. But for discounted Marc Jacobs? We’re sooo there. Here’s a few of our favorite Black Friday fashion sales around town.

1. Barneys Co-op is slashing prices early — starting this Wednesday, Nov. 25 — so you can sleep off your turkey coma in peace. Expect to get 40 percent off men’s and women’s brands like 3.1 Phillip Lim, Vince, Rag & Bone and A.P.C. at the Georgetown and Chevy Chase outposts and online. (The Jayla pump, above, is currently marked down from $425 to $259. How low can it go?)

2. OK, night owls: Potomac Mills Mall in Woodbridge, Va opens at midnight on Thanksgiving night, so you can fuel up on turkey ‘n mashed potatoes and then hit the sales at haute discount spots like Neiman Marcus Last Call, Nordstrom Rack, the Brooks Brothers Factory Store and more.

3. Over in Leesburg, the Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets — home to discount outposts from brands like J. Crew, Barneys New York, Coach, Theory and Williams-Sonoma — is having its own midnight madness at 12am Friday. (Some stores will even open a couple hours earlier at 10pm Thanksgiving night, if you want to scoot over there after the football games and that second serving of pie.)

4. Brides-to-be will want to check out the Nicole Miller “white collection” sale at Neiman Marcus Tysons Galleria, starting Friday at 10 a.m. The designer’s collection of gorgeous wedding gowns will be discounted up to 70 percent — which means you can justify splurging on those Louboutins to walk the aisle.

5. All this week, vintage haven Remix in Capitol Hill is offering up to 50 percent off select items, like croc clutch purses and fur-trimmed coats. Because after stocking up on everyone else’s gifts, shouldn’t you snag a l’il something for yourself as well? —Betsy Lowther and Alison Peters
