The Gap Black Friday sale is live, with 40% pretty much everything and 60% off a ton of select styles. And if you haven’t noticed: Gap is firmly back in the mix.
It’s an all-gas, no-brakes situation. Gap’s been cranking out some of the most wearable, least-pretentious menswear on the market, and right now nearly all of it is marked down hard. That means there’s a mouth-watering mix of archival bangers and contemporary workhorses flying off the line like comfort food at your local diner.
But because that mix is massive, we also thought it might be helpful for us to pull a few of our favorites out. Otherwise, head on over and get shopping. You won’t regret it.

Gap Cyber Week FAQ
What are the best things to buy at Gap?
The best things to buy at Gap? Start with the hits. The brand has been on a heater lately, mining its deep archive for all-star classics while dialing in modern silhouettes and workwear staples. Outerwear (especially the lighter layers), pants, shirts, sweaters, and sweats are all strong plays—especially if you haven’t checked in for a while.
This year in the US, Black Friday is on Friday, November 28, a day after Thanksgiving. While that’s the official date, many retailers roll out deals throughout November. You can expect the biggest discounts to happen between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, but be on the look out for retailers to launch sales early.
Cyber Monday lands on December 1 this year, the Monday after Thanksgiving. Most brands keep the deals rolling through the week—but don’t bank on it.
