A stylist has predicted that this Dunnes Stores blazer that's similar in style to a designer one will fly off the shelves.
Personal stylist and blogger Deidre Chestnutt compared the blazer to a classic Balmain one which costs thousands. Meanwhile, the Gallery Button Blazer from Dunnes Stores costs just €45.
“This is definitely going to be a sell-out,” Deidre, who posts on Instagram under @unique_personal_stylist, wrote. “A timeless classic perfect for pairing with jeans or tailoring. If you don’t like a bargain, then you can fork out £1,750 for a Balmain one from Selfridges.”

In Ireland, you can find Balmain blazers in Brown Thomas from €2,090, although it might be slightly cheaper in certain online shops. The Dunnes Stores dupe is similar in style to their new double-breasted blazer but only a fraction of the price.
The 'timeless classic' is a slim fitting double-breasted blazer which features gold-tone buttons, two functional front pockets and tonal lining. It comes in three colours – navy, green and ivory – and is available in sizes 8-20.
It also used to be sold in black but is no longer available.
