Is “Black Friday” a Day to Wear All Black?

by | Jan 19, 2025 | Common Mistakes

Did you ever think “Black Friday” was some sort of fashion event where everyone dresses in black? Sounds logical, right? Well, not quite.

Black Friday is all about sales, deals, and a dash of chaos. It’s the day after Thanksgiving in the US, when stores slash prices, and people go absolutely wild for bargains. It’s not about wearing black—it’s more like shopping till you drop, possibly while wearing sweatpants.

The term actually comes from accounting—when businesses go “into the black,” meaning they make a profit. So, next time you hear “Black Friday,” think shopping bags, not dress codes. I hope you learned something you didn’t know about.
