And shoppers racing to get their hands on them before they are snapped up.
One piece in particular has been a hit amongst fashion fans – and it’s perfect for layering.
Instagram user Hazel Martin, who posts under @hazelshintspirations, shared a short video to her followers.
In the caption of the post, she wrote: “Apologies on such a rushed try on but was flying out the door.
“Said I’d show you this beautiful Puff Sleeve Satin Jacket from @dunnesstores as lots of you missed out on a similar one a couple of months back. It’s by Gallery.
“It’s €35 and goes from size 8 to 20.”
In the clip, Hazel can be seen holding up the jacket to the camera.
She said: “I have a lovely satin little puff sleeve jacket that came into Dunnes – I just spotted it yesterday.
“I’m just going to pop it on and we’ll see what it looks like.”
The jacket is the perfect pop of colour for Hazel’s all black outfit.
She continued: “It’s absolutely beautiful – the satin, the sheen off it.
“It’s a baby blue colour. The quality of it… and it’s fully lined.”
Hazel noted that it’s similar to a previous jacket that was in stores.
She also added that it’s a hook and eye closure, and can be shut all the way up to the collar.
In terms of styling, Hazel said she would love to wear the jacket with a pair of blue denim jeans.
She concluded: “It’s in store at the moment and no doubt it will sell out very quick – absolutely beautiful.”
The Gallery Satin Short Balloon Sleeve Jacket is selling for just €35 – meaning you can pick up this stylish piece without breaking the bank.
The jacket comes in a stunning blue colour, making it super versatile for any outfit – and is perfect to wear on holidays.
Shoppers can get the jacket in sizes 8 to 20 – and luckily for fashion fans, all sizes are still in stock on the website.
SOFT SLEEVES
It features puffy shoulder detailing at the top of the sleeves, adding another chic element to it.
It has a round collar and elbow length sleeves, making it perfect for the summer weather.

“Lightweight and breathable, it is a perfect outerwear choice for any season.
“Gallery 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.
