Marks and Spencer paused its online orders for months amid the cyber attack. While you could still head to stores and shop IRL, stock was limited and you couldn’t always find the pieces you had seen online.
Every week since the end of April when the cyber attack happened following the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, we have been refreshing the site to see if it is back in full swing, but to no avail. To be totally honest, we didn’t know what the future of online shopping at M&S was going to look like.
Thankfully, M&S has today announced the freeze on online orders is finally over, and we couldn’t be happier – don’t think our bank account can say the same.
In an Instagram post, penned by M&S’ Managing Director for Fashion, Home and Beauty, John, it read: ‘We are bringing back online shopping this week. A selection of our bestselling fashion ranges will be available for home delivery to England, Scotland and Wales. More of our fashion, home and beauty products will be added every day and we will resume deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks. Thank you sincerely for your support and for shopping with us.’
Over the last few weeks we have been saving a few staples to our digital wishlist so when M&S opens its virtual checkout we are ready to hit ‘Pay Now’.
From dresses to shorts, shirts, skirts and shoes, here is everything in our basket now.

Pure Cotton Textured Midi Waisted Dress
From the shirred bust, the subtle ruffle on the edge of the straps and billowy A-line maxi skirt, these features are reminiscent of Dôen designs, but for less. Crafted from 100% cotton, this one and done dress is lightweight, breathable and fuss-free, which is exactly what we want in a summer heatwave. Available in petite, regular and tall, ranging from UK dress size 6 to 18, as well as a black colourway.

Chiffon Printed Scoop Neck Maxi Waisted Dress
Whether you are heading to a summer party, a city break, beach break, or a destination wedding, this versatile dress can be styled for more formal events and off duty casual occasions. The buttermilk shade is hugely popular, as is the minuscule polka dot print, so this design nails two trends in one.
BUY NOW FOR £99
The Wide-Leg Jeans
We live in wide leg jeans, and are desperate to slip this relaxed fit pair on.With a high waist, straight leg that skims the legs from the waist down, these jeans promise comfort and style. Crafted from gentle cotton with 1% elastane that provides just enough stretch to hug the body without gaping. While the jeans are available in six washes, stock is limited.

Linen Rich High Waisted Shorts
If you have a holiday on the horizon, or are preparing for the UK’s heatwave, a pair of loose fit and lightweight linen shorts are a must have. This pair are longer in length than hot pants (thank goodness), but not too long they resemble men’s surf shorts. The relaxed fit contrasts the elasticated waist, which can be cinched in with the drawstring for a secure fit. Available in five colours.

Leather Loafers
I have been waiting months to get my hands on the sell-out Leather Loafers. I patiently waited and waited for these to restock, and when they did the cyber attack took place and I have not been able to get my hands on the versatile loafer. The timeless smart shoe has been crafted from leather with M&S’ signature Insolia Flex interior that provides necessary cushioning on the soles of your feet, which is key when pounding the pavement in a pair of flats.
BUY NOW FOR £55
Pure Cotton Denim Cropped Shacket
I love a denim jacket in the summer, and a shacket in the transitional seasons. Combine the two and it may just be the solution to all my needs. Crafted from cotton denim fabric, which is comfortable and breathable to wear almost all year long. The boxy fit, hip-length and dropped shoulder, makes this a relaxed staple to throw on over dresses, tanks and tees paired with jeans or shorts.
