DUNNES Stores fans are set to love two “chic” new waistcoats for spring – and they are perfect for a night out.
The Beige Savida Sienna Waistcoat is available in stores and online now.
It is priced at just €25 and comes in cream and black.
The retailer said: “Designed with an on-trend open front and adjustable self tie closures, this waistcoat from Savida allows you to cinch it just the way you like for a flattering fit.
“Pair it with a blazer or layer it over a tee for a casual, chic look.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
Dunnes has paired the waistcoat with fab wide leg jeans for a casual look.
Meanwhile, a fashion fan has found the perfect pair of jeans for a comfy outfit – and they cost just €30.
The Savida Raw Hem Barrel Jeans are available online and in stores around the country now.
They are the perfect pair for the in-between weather often seen during springtime.
Monica, who goes @mon.fesa on Instagram, has shared how she styled the pair.
Posting on social media, the fashion fan wrote: “And we’re back @dunnesstores with @savida.ds today.
“I can’t believe how well the barrel jeans look on; try them if you don’t own a pair, because you’ll fall in love with them.
“Which top do you like more, the super soft knit or the Bow cardi??? Let me know…”
The jeans cost €30 and come in sizes 6 up to 18, but there’s bad news for some shoppers.
Size six has already sold out online due to its popularity, although it might still be found in stores.
Fashion bosses called the item “trend-forward”.
An official description of the item reads: “Made from a blue cotton denim, these jeans from Savida are designed with wide barrel legs and a raw hem.
“A trend-forward addition to your denim collection, they pair wonderfully with sneakers and a relaxed tee.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
