Singles’ Day 2021: Your quintessential guide to the best fashion deals, and what we’re adding to cart this 11.11

November 11 is right around the corner, and you know what that means: Credit cards at the ready because the biggest online shopping event of the year is back! As the story goes, Singles’ Day, or 11.11 (symbolic of a Chinese expression for the unattached), was originally born out of a university dorm room in Nanjing in the ’90s to celebrate the joys of being single. As time passed, it became touted as an anti-Valentine’s Day of sorts and also an occasion for parties and karaoke events. Then 2009 came and Alibaba kickstarted the day as an unofficial shopping holiday, which has since blown up around the world, with net profits exceeding that of Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a result.

And no, you don’t have to be single to take part in the massive Singles’ Day deals. What better opportunity to start ticking off your holiday shopping lists or simply treat yourself? Ahead, find all the specific deals across our favourite online retailers and the best fashion finds that we’ve got our eyes on:
