But the fab piece is a classic layer designed to be worn and re-worn across seasons.
The new piece costs €25 and comes in sizes XS up to XL.
It can be found in the colours green or pink.
The Gallery Kaia Ruffle Cardigan also features softly ruffled trims along the cuffs, hem, and button-through front.
Fashion bosses described the piece as "classic" and suitable to be worn across all seasons.
In the official item description on the Dunnes Stores website, chiefs wrote: "Knitted with a hint of wool, this cardigan features softly ruffled trims along the cuffs, hem, and button-through front.
"A classic layer designed to be worn and re-worn across seasons.
"Gallery is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores."
And the retailer has the perfect jeans to pair it with.
I tried 'classy and elegant' cream co-ord from Dunnes Stores - it's a 'summer essential' for €50
The High Rise Soft Super Wide Leg Jeans are now available online and in shops across the country - and it costs just €15.
It comes in sizes 8 to 20 and can be found in the colours of denim or white.
Fashion bosses said: "Crafted from a lightweight cotton denim, these jeans are the perfect choice for cooler days.
"Cut to an exaggerated wide leg fit, they feature a classic five pocket design, and a button and zip fastening."
Separately, Dunnes Stores fans are set for a frenzy over a "delicate" new lace top after it landed on racks.
The Savida Leopard Lace Top is just €15, making it perfect for looking good on a budget.
Shoppers can pick up the top in sizes XXS to XXL - but a number of sizes have already sold out online.
Why police were called to first Dunnes Stores opening
BETWEEN the weekly food shops and bargain fashion - Dunnes Stores is a staple retailer in Irish households.
But this wasn't always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir
On March 31 of the year, Ben Dunne opened the first ever Dunnes Stores on St Patrick's Street in Co Cork.
Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer's archives recall as a 'shopping frenzy.'
The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at 'pre-war prices' was one of the factors cited for the buzz.
During the chaos a window was forced in and Gardai were called to the scene.
Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience.
Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn't caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as one of the nation's leading retailers.
Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe: 118 in the Republic of Ireland,
15 in Northern Ireland
Five stores in Spain.
Now, the only sizes left in stock are XXS and large, though you may find your size in your local store.
The top features a plunging v-neckline and short sleeves, making it perfect for the warmer weather.
The top features a leopard print across it, with black lace at the hem and the bottom of the sleeves.
Around the neckline is a black lining, and in the centre there is a small bow for another bit of chic detailing.
And the leopard print is set to be very popular this autumn, making the top the perfect piece to have in your wardrobe.
Dunnes Stores chiefs described the top as having a "vintage-inspired" finish.
