Many Boxing Day sales have already started, but you can expect discounts to get even bigger after Christmas. Here’s our edit of the best sales on now.

What are the best Boxing Day sales in 2023?

This isn’t easy to answer because there are a lot. If you’re looking for a great bargain, Other Stories, Net-A-Porter, ASOS, H&M, and New Look have always had exciting deals—offering on selected lines. Zara has always been secretive about their sales, but in previous years they’ve offered discounts of up to 60% off.

Are Black Friday or Boxing Day sales better?

From personal experience, I’d say that Boxing Day sales are definitely better. During Black Friday weekend, many brands offer around 10-30% off, while you can usually expect roughly 50-70% off during the Boxing Day sales. On top of that, many brands opt out of Black Friday, whereas the majority of them offer sales after Christmas.
