M&S isn’t just the place to do your weekly food shop, it’s also a go-to for design-led homeware, beauty, fashion collaborations with names like Bella Freud and 16Arlington. But is it participating in Black Friday 2025?

The answer is no – but it’s not all bad news. Instead, M&S is hosting its own winter sale this November, offering discounts across every category that easily rival a traditional Black Friday event. This year, you can grab up to 50 per cent off beauty, fashion and more. Whether you’re ticking off Christmas gifts, giving your wardrobe a seasonal refresh, or stocking up on party-season make-up must-haves, it’s well worth a look.

Highlights include up to 50 per cent off cult beauty brands like Color Wow and Elizabeth Arden, up to 20 per cent off winter coats and knitwear, and a massive 40 per cent off homeware items from lamps to bedding. With so many bargains on offer, I’ve rounded up my favourite picks from M&S’s Black Friday alternative sale to make shopping a little easier.

If you’re yet to try this coveted haircare brand, now’s your chance. M&S has discounted this Color Wow bundle by 40 per cent. Inside, there’s the security shampoo, money mist leave-in conditioner (which“leaves tresses looking and feeling much softer and shinier”, according to our reviewer), raise the root thicken and lift spray and extra-large bombshell vollumiser – everything you need to add depth and texture to your hair.

M&S pure cashmere crew neck jumper: Was £90, now £72, Marksandspencer.com

This garment secured the top spot in my review of the best cashmere jumpers this season. At £90, it was already relatively affordable for cashmere, but now it’s even cheaper in the M&S sale. Made with 100 per cent cashmere, it’s perfectly lightweight and soft while being insulating and warm. Distinguished by its crew neckline, the jumper boasts a comfortable, relaxed cut and a soft, brushed finish.

Faux fur is big news this season – and this coat from M&S is a steal at £60. With its cosy exterior, duffle fastenings with buckle detailing and black piping, it combines stylish looks with functional features. The coat has been designed with a relaxed cut that’s ideal for layering over knitwear, while the off-white colourway is the perfect neutral for pairing with your existing wardrobe.

Earning a spot in my review of the best trench coats, I loved the flattering, tailored fit of this M&S style. Reduced by 20 per cent (discount added at checkout), the quality is excellent with a crisp cotton fabrication and full inner lining. The belt can be fastened for extra structure and warmth, while the black finish is a smart take.
