With the Boxing Day sales officially kicking off and countless brands participating, it can get a bit overwhelming to know what is actually worth spending your money on, especially as we head into the New Year. You may have even sworn off shopping for the next month. However, we think there is one in particular that you really can’t miss… the Marks & Spencer Boxing Day sale.
From their luxe-looking handbags to their high-quality clothing and trendy shoes, M&S has really nailed it this year, and today is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on some pieces you’ve likely already had your eye on in the past few months.
To help you decide what pieces are best to spend your pennies on, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite pieces from the sale…
V-Neck Frill Detail Midaxi Smock Dress, WAS £59, NOW £33

M&S)After Sienna Miller and the Chloe AW24 runway re-ignited the boho chic trend, it’s no surprise that this floaty maxi dress is one of our top picks. Not only is the bohemian style of the dress totally on trend, but so is the rich burgundy shade.
If you’re worried about committing to pieces that may be a fleeting trend, you don’t need to worry about this piece because we think this dress is timeless. Toughen this maxi up with some biker boots and a leather jacket to tap into the Pinterest Predicts 2025 trend ‘Moto Boho’.
Herringbone Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers, WAS £45 NOW £21

M&S)Heading back into the office in January and stuck in a workwear-style rut? The sales are the perfect chance to nab some officewear at affordable prices. These herringbone wide-leg trousers are better than half-price and are the perfect combination of stylish and professional.
The roomy fit of the trousers, mixed with the added stretch in the fabric, ensures complete comfort all day long, whether you’re commuting to the office or heading off to meet friends after work.
Faux Fur Collarless Short Coat, WAS £79 NOW £45

M&S)Thanks to the ‘mob wife’ trend we saw earlier in the year, faux fur jackets are really having their moment this season. They tend to be pricey, so today is the day to bite the bullet and buy one if you’ve been in the market for one.
This collarless grey one has a huge 43% off, and we think it’s well worth the purchase at under £50. From glamming up your everyday looks to layering over your formal dresses, this versatile piece is a winter staple.
Ribbed Roll Neck Jumper, WAS £29.50 NOW £22

M&S)Although you may be over wearing red after Christmas, we most certainly aren’t. This ribbed roll neck is perfect for injecting some colour into the long and dreary month that is January.
This knit is also a part of M&S’ Soft Touch collection, making it the perfect soft and cosy piece to snuggle up in next month.
Leather Cowboy Block Heel Boots, WAS £69 NOW £39

M&S)‘Cowboy core’ was another major trend we saw at the beginning of the year, thanks to Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album and Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Although Western clothing is a bit of a micro trend we believe is likely to pass, there’s one thing to come out of the trend that is here to stay, and that is cowboy boots.
These simple black boots with a block heel, pointed toe, and stitched detailing are timeless and a great investment. As an M&S shoe fan myself, I know that their leather boots, in particular, are of amazing quality and will last for years to come.
Pure Super Hydrate Rose Cleansing Balm, WAS £12.50 NOW £7.50

M&S)It’s not just clothing and accessories that feature in the Boxing Day sale. This cleansing balm from M&S’ Pure range is a great alternative to the popular and expensive Elemis cleansing balm, and at only £7.50 how could you resist?
With natural products, including camelina oil, blackcurrant seed oil and sweet almond oil, this gentle cleanser is the perfect first step in your skincare routine and will leave your face feeling radiant and nourished.
