Matalan Discount Codes July 2025

No one is asking you to fall in love with a cardigan. But admit it: there’s a moment, typically in early spring, when the thermostat can’t quite commit and the weather app gives conflicting stories. This is when the humble knit, often overlooked and mostly underappreciated, shifts from seasonal afterthought to useful civilian gear. Matalan, still very much the spiritual home of practical fashion and no-chat checkout lines, has resurfaced with its typical half-understated, half-overstuffed wardrobe of spring basics - this time with a few discount codes and just enough seasonal theming to be recognisable as "Easter".

The Code, if You Want It

Now through the hazily defined end of the "EASTER" promotion - as far as we can tell, it runs at least through the long weekend - Matalan is offering 20% off purchases of £40 or more and 25% off £60+, if you use code EASTER at checkout. It’s a fairly straightforward calculation, which is refreshing in a world that has made coupons feel like puzzle games for the sleep-deprived.

Importantly, like any decent offer, not everything is included. Core basics? Yes. Knits and cleanup-friendly children’s sets? Usually. Quirkier home items and a few apparently too-cool-for-discount pieces - like the Yellow Lofty Ribbed Knit Cardigan (£20, not included) - are the exception. Still, if you’re building a seasonal refresh, you can glean a fairly coherent assortment of functional, neutral-toned items for less than the cost of one regrettable seasonal micro-trend elsewhere. Shipping is a steady £3.99 (free if you spend over £49.99). Returns? Free in-store, and about £2.99 if you want to do it by post. Sensibly boring. Comforting, even.

What’s Worth a Look

The Lightwash Slim Fit Tapered Jeans (£20) are included in the Easter offer and sit nicely in the flattering, no-stretch-required category. They've got six pockets, one rivet, and - thankfully - no artificial distressing. For spring weight layering, the Navy Boucle Limone Stripe T-Shirt (£12.50) softens nicely on the second wash, though don't expect it to survive an accidental tumble dry unchanged.

For parents doing the seasonal size shuffle, the Boys Navy Stripe Textured T-Shirt & Shorts Set (1–7yrs, £10) is practical and machine-washable, and - yes - also part of the Easter offer. It’s cute in a way that doesn’t try too hard, which is, honestly, the best you can hope for in a cotton–poly blend with navy contrast stitching.

Home goods straddle the usual territory: convincingly affordable, occasionally charming, occasionally not. If you need mugs (the 4-Pack Meadow versions get a 20% trim), they’re priced low enough (£6.40) to forgive the unnecessary scripted font. The Floral Wreath (£15) is not part of the promo, possibly because it’s too delicate to ship in bulk or because someone at Matalan believes in margin protection. Either way, it's shaped like spring if not priced like it.

The Delivery Situation

Standard delivery is £3.99 and takes up to five days (though in practice it's often three). Go over £49.99 and the fee disappears, which is useful if you’re already borderline. Next-day delivery will cost you £4.99 and commits you to order by 10pm, but there are the usual string of exceptions - no next-day on luggage, large items or if you live anywhere north of a sheep. Click & Collect is 99p unless you manage to spend over £19.99, in which case it's free - possibly the most reasonable price structure left in British retail.

Final Thoughts - But Not a Life Philosophy

Matalan’s spring sale is not transformative; it's tidy. The clothing is competent. The prices are considered. And the voucher code works, without needing a Chrome extension or a third-party browser plugin named after a marsupial. Nothing here reinvents the outfit, but if your wardrobe needs a seasonally adjusted refill - and you’d rather not mortgage a limb for it - this is, as Shakespeare once said, perfectly serviceable.

Just don’t expect the Yellow Lofty Ribbed Knit Cardigan to wait for you. Not because it’s going to sell out. It just... doesn’t strike us as the loyal type.
