And Dunnes Stores is making this easy for fashion fans.
One shopper has taken to social media to share a look at one of her top finds of the summer season.
Instagram user Monica, who posts under the username @mon.fesa, shared a short video to the platform.
In the caption of the post, she wrote: “Check out this outfit from Savida in all the Dunnes Stores.
“I really thought it was worth to try it, the top is so different and super cute, with a zipper on the side to make it easier to put on.
“Loved the lace trim and the adjustable bodice to make it cropped or a bit longer, great idea I have to say.
“And the skirt… Well I love silk so this is my ideal outfit, can look super cute with heels or more funky with trainers.”
In the video, she can be seen wearing a gorgeous silk co-ord, in a lovely brown colour.
She stuns in the outfit that is perfect for any summer event, from weddings to a laidback occasion.
In a caption inserted into the post, Monica noted: “What do you think of the new outfit?”
The top features a plunging v-neckline, complete with short sleeves and a lace trim along the neckline.
The sides of the top are ruched, with buttons in the centre.
Monica added: “With a lace trim top and adjustable bodice. So different.”
She shows that on either side of the top are two strings to control how loose or tight the top is.
Monica added: “Both with zippers, to make dressing easier.”
The maxi skirt features a zip up the side and has a flattering fit.
When worn together, it looks like a stunning dress that is perfect for a wedding.
ROMANTIC LOOK
Monica concluded: “I think it is such a romantic look, silky satin-like fabric.
“Where are we going tonight?”
But shoppers will have to be quick, as the top is already low in stock online.

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.
