M&S Is Back Online: Fashion Returns After £300m Cyber Setback
Marks & Spencer is back in the game—and not a moment too soon. After nearly six weeks of online silence due to a major cyberattack, the high street giant has relaunched its digital store, bringing fashion lovers a much-needed sigh of relief. The cyberattack, which took place over Easter, wasn’t just a technical hiccup—it shook the foundation of M&S’s operations. It halted all online shopping, including click and collect and even disrupted contactless payments in physical stores. Estimated losses? A jaw-dropping £25 million per week, with total damages forecasted at around £300 million this financial year.
But let’s not dwell too long on the chaos. As of this week, M&S has resumed online fashion orders for customers across England, Scotland, and Wales. While the full service isn’t completely restored—Northern Ireland deliveries and click & collect are still paused—the return marks a significant turning point. Some shelves may still look a bit bare online, but the good news is: fashion is back.
And what a comeback it is! M&S is rolling out a stellar lineup of seasonal essentials that were sorely missed during the shutdown. There’s the ultra-flattering polka dot maxidress, a summer-ready showstopper that works just as well at a seaside dinner as it does at a garden wedding. For the guys, the pure linen shirt comes in a rainbow of colours and looks sharp even without ironing—ideal for laid-back summer style.

Women can revel in crochet beach dresses that transition effortlessly from sand to sangria, or embrace elegance with a Chanel-inspired jacket perfect for breezy evenings. And for that holiday wardrobe pop? A vibrant tomato-red halter midaxi dress is stealing the spotlight.
Don’t overlook the smart accessories either—like a waterproof rubberised backpack perfect for unpredictable British weather or jelly ballet pumps that are as nostalgic as they are practical. And for comfort-seekers, M&S’s non-wired sports bras and breathable striped pyjama bottoms have comfort written all over them.
Yes, it’s true: the road to full recovery isn’t paved just yet. Some customers are still experiencing low stock levels and limited size options, especially in menswear. Others, like longtime M&S loyalists, feel that the company could have done more to communicate updates and maybe even offered free delivery to make up for the disruption.
But all things considered, M&S’s return to online retail is a hopeful sign that the brand is bouncing back—and doing so with style. With more items being added daily and systems gradually stabilising, shoppers can once again browse, click, and get their M&S fix from the comfort of home.
So if your summer wardrobe was on hold, now’s the time to explore what M&S has in store. Whether you're shopping for beachwear, formal fits, or everyday comfort, the fashion favourites are back—and it feels good to say it. Welcome back, M&S.
