They have dropped at the perfect time as shoppers are looking for the right clothes for spring weather.
Luckily, stylist Ashling Muldowney has alerted fans to the new look and showed how to style them.
Taking to Instagram, where she posts under @ashlingmuldowney, she said the leggings are a “must-have”.
The stylist explained that “athleisure”, mixing leisure wear with athletic pieces, is massively on trend right now.
She said: “These are going to have you sorted; when I tell you they’re amazing, I mean they’re amazing.”
And she recommended the Dunnes Stores leggings and matching top.
The leggings cost €15 and are available in sizes XS to XXL.
And a major bonus is that they come in multiple colours, including black, printed, khaki, and plum purple.
Fashion bosses called the item “ultra flattering”.
An official description of the item reads: “Contour is a buttery-soft fabric, with medium compression that feels like a gentle hug.
“With a V-shaped waistband and a curved hem detail, these 7/8-length leggings offer a supportive, slimming silhouette that is made to move with you.
“Ultra-flattering, super-soft, and quick-drying, these leggings feature four-way stretch and moisture management technology to help you stay cool while you work out.
“Matching jacket sold separately.”
Ashling paired the comfy leggings with a matching vest top.
The Contour Vest is also available online and in shops around the country.
It costs just €12 and is available in sizes XS to XL.
And like the leggings, the top is available in multiple colours, so shoppers are spoiled for choice.
It can be found in black, plum, white, and khaki.
According to the retailer: “Ideal for workouts, this vest top features removable padding and is created from thick stretch fabric which gives you plenty of support.
“Contour is a buttery-soft fabric, with medium compression that feels like a gentle hug.
“The fabric is also breathable and wicks away sweat, and with four-way stretch this vest will move with you during any exercise routine.”

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.
