At The Bias Cut, we love a good celebration. But there’s one occasion we won’t celebrate: Black Friday. Until now.
No, we haven’t done a 180 on our values. We aren’t celebrating that Black Friday; we still refuse to engage with constant flash discounts that devalue the love and care behind our designs and, as a British boutique, we don’t believe it’s right to appropriate an US event purely for commercial purposes.
Instead, we’re reclaiming Black Friday as the day to love and wear black! Because, whilst you know we adore colour here at The Bias Cut, that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate the beauty of black clothing. It's possibly the most versatile colour you can wear, and it exudes a sense of mystery and elegance. After all, as Christian Dior once said:
"“You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion"
For us, the key to turning black from boring to beautiful lies in cut and texture. Unique design, shape and attention to detail transforms black pieces into sophisticated, luxurious pieces. And contrasting textures brings dynamism to any outfit.
So, in celebration of the ‘New Black Friday’, myself and The Bias Cut team have chosen our favourite black pieces from our collection that we’ll be sure to be wearing this Friday.
Jacynth, our Founder & CEO's favourite:
"As a self-confessed magpie, I'm drawn to anything with a bit of sparkle. So naturally I love our Starry Jumper. With beautiful gold lurex woven through it, it's subtle yet instantly catches the eye as it sparkles in the light. And I love the little gold Cowboy Boot brooch that comes with it; charming!
I always add a bit of colour when I wear black, so i'll be pairing it with our Strike Out Ageism Large Earrings for a statement look. Black, gold and pink = the perfect combo."

"The Jaycie Jumpsuit is my favourite because it is a sleek and sexy classic that you can wear year after year. It can be dressed up with metallics, brights or worn with all black or even dressed down with sandals and a pair of our Astrid earrings for a pop of colour for summer. For the festive period I would pair the Jaycie with a pair of strappy heels and our All That Glitters Medium Earrings."

Georgina, our Operations & Fulfilment Manager's, favourite:
"I love a chunky knit and this ticks all the boxes! Also, due to it being more oversized, I've worn it with my skinny jeans and boots or I've dressed it up with a fitted skirt and a chunky necklace for drinks with friends. Such a good wardrobe staple!"
Kim, our Branding Director's, favourite:
"I’m not a goth but I live in black, I always have; it’s my comfort, my friend, my armour. I’m also very partial to skinny jean.
Bonus pick: Black Jeans
A pair of black jeans belong in EVERY discerning, stylish woman's wardrobe. They go with pretty much anything, and their dark colour means you can get away with wearing them for a smarter occasion. Opt for a higher rise for both versatility and a flattering silhouette (it nips you in at the middle).
Our Nate Skinny Jean is an effortless, go to pair, whilst our Milo is a modern straight cut, featuring a cool raw hem.
