They come in black and sizes XXS to XXL.
However, they are out of stock in all sizes on the website.
Dunnes said: “These fluid trousers from Savida epitomise effortless elegance.
“In a plissé fabric, they have an elasticated waist and simply pull on.
“Matching waistcoat available; sold separately.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
The comfy but stylish set works perfectly with chunky sandals or trainers.
The matching waistcoat is not currently available on the website but may also be in your nearest store.
And a fashion fan has told how she’s “weak” over a new white midi skirt at Dunnes.
Nikola, who posts under @the_wardrobe_fairy, took to TikTok to show off her new summer find.
She said: “Guys, I’m weak… weak. Now weak as in I love it and weak as in I have absolutely no will power.”
The TikToker revealed the “snow white” midi skirt with a “high, high slit” up the front.
Dunnes Stores said the skirt is a good option to choose, instead of jeans.
They said: “In stretch denim, this midi skirt has a high rise, and a front split for ease of movement.
“A great alternative to jeans, pair this with sandals or trainers.”
The Denim Midi Skirt, also available in blue, is a steal at just €20.
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.
It comes in sizes 8 to 20 but popular sizes have been snapped up online.
Sizes 8, 18 and 20 are currently sold out on the website.
Nikola continued: “I’m rather feeling it with a thigh high slit. I love it. It has pockets in the back as well.
“And they have that in a denim version as well.”
