And recently, their trendy barrel-leg jeans proved to be a huge hit among shoppers.
The jeans are ideal for spring as they are lightweight and can be paired with almost anything.
And delighted shopper Naomi, who goes by @whatshewore24, recently showed how to style the jeans.
Taking to Instagram, she paired the pink version of the jeans with a navy top and a grey blazer.
And she added some chunky patterned sandals to give the outfit some extra flair.
Naomi said: “I have the Dunnes barrel-leg jeans on again, these are the pink ones and these are size 14.
“I got them earlier in the week, they were €25.”
The barrel-leg jeans can now be found in Dunnes Stores locations across the country.
They cost just €25 and can be found in four colours – denim, khaki, mid-wash, and pink.
But shoppers should be warned that the mid wash shade has already sold out online.
Fashion bosses said the item pairs perfectly with many items.
An official description of the item reads: “Add to your denim collection with these cotton blend barrel jeans.
“Featuring a high-rise waist and a barrel-leg silhouette, they pair perfectly with everything from crop tops to oversized jumpers.”
Meanwhile, Dunnes Stores recently released a lightweight dress that’s ideal for summer holidays.

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.
