The item has come at the ideal time as people are starting to stock up their summer holiday wardrobes.
It’s always good to pack something lightweight for a warmer climate but that will still protect your skin from the sun.
And something that’s oversized is ideal for travelling as it is comfy for the journey.
The new shirt features a smart collar, long sleeves, and a button up design at the front.
It costs €30 and comes in sizes XXS up to XXL.
But there’s bad news for some fans of the look, as only XS up to M is still available online.
However, the other size might still be found on the racks in the shop.
Fashion bosses called the item “classic”.
An official description of the item reads: “A stylish option for the transitional weather, this shirt from Savida is crafted from a lightweight cotton blend.
“It boasts a classic striped motif and diamond pattern frayed stitching.
“Pair with the matching shorts and a white tee for a light and breezy summer look.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
The shirt can be worn with another item or paired with the matching shorts for a coordinated look.
The matching oversized shorts feature the same pinstripe and crisscross design that the shirt boasts.
They’re ideal for summer holidays as they’re lightweight and have two handy pockets.
‘EFFORTLESSLY COOL’
The shorts are priced at just €20, meaning shoppers can nab the complete set for €50.
Designers hailed the piece as “effortlessly cool”.
Dunnes said: “Upgrade your warm-weather wardrobe with these effortlessly cool cotton-blend shorts from Savida.
“They are designed with a classic striped motif and diamond pattern frayed stitching.
“Pair with the matching shirt and a white tee for a light and breezy summer look.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
Dunnes Stores paired the matching set with a silver bag for a pop of colour.

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.
