'Hid my mommy belly': Shoppers adore this fall-ready top, and it's down to $21
The waffle knit is breathable but cozy, and the oversized fit also earns raves: 'I didn't feel self-conscious for once!'
Cooling temps can mean only one thing: fall fashion. But with all of the chilly mornings that turn into too-warm afternoons, fall is one of the hardest seasons to dress for weather-wise. This is where our friend layering comes in, and Amazon shoppers have found a transitional weather staple they say is ideal for tossing on or taking off as temps change: the Dokotoo Waffle Knit Shacket Jacket, down to a mere $21 right now.
This shirt/jacket hybrid is substantial enough for chilly fall days, but still lightweight enough to wear in the warmer months.
Why is this a good deal?
You can bring home this waffle knit shacket (somewhere between a shirt and a jacket, get it?) for just over $21 right now with an on-page coupon — that's nearly 40% off. It comes in 18 colors, ranging from neutrals like black and brown to more vibrant shades including pink and yellow, and they're all on sale (prices may differ).
Why do I need this?
If you're someone who never leaves home without a cardigan or jean jacket in the fall, this is for you. The shacket is lightweight and can be tossed on over your favorite tee or tank for extra warmth and coverage. But you can also button it up and wear it by itself. Pair it with a skirt, dress, jeans or leggings. It's also great for cuddling up with on the couch.
This design features an oversized fit and one chest pocket for added interest. The waffle knit texture helps it feel a little more special than your run-of-the-mill cotton button-up, but take note: Some reviewers say the lighter colors are a bit sheer. We love how the jacket borders on baggy, which means you can roll up the sleeves for a cute, casual look. The wrists have a bit of elastic, so when you push up the sleeves, they won't flop right back down. Pro tip: If you prefer a more fitted look, you may want to consider ordering a size down.
What reviewers are saying
Amazon shoppers have snapped up more than 200 of Dokotoo's Waffle Knit Shacket Jackets in the last month, and more than 1,500 have given it five stars.
Pros 👍
One pleased shopper said it was "exactly what I needed. This shirt/jacket is perfect for layering. You can dress it up or down, and it is lightweight enough to keep it on all day without getting too hot. Will be buying more colors!"
Another happy reviewer liked it so much that they bought three. They shared, "As a mom to a toddler and 7-month-old, I was looking for something that sort of hid my mommy belly but was still cool and comfortable ... I didn't feel self-conscious (for once!) was comfy, cute and got a bunch of compliments ... I loved it and bought two more because this will definitely be a new comfy-cool-casual staple for me!"
A third five-star fan wrote, "The size and fit are perfect. Lightweight but keeps the cold air at the office from freezing me out. Versatile in the many ways it can be worn both dressed up and dressed down. Good buy!"
"The fit is good, definitely oversized, covers my butt," said a final shopper. "Not a jacket at all, but I use it as a cardigan-type deal."
Cons 👎
Fashionistas generally love the shacket, but some customers did note a few things. One major thing to know before ordering is that when we say it's oversized, we mean it.
"It’s cute, but really really long — way past my butt and the front hangs halfway down my thighs," shared this four-star reviewer who ordered their usual size. "I wanted an oversized comfy fit, but not necessarily that long... Definitely get your size or size down and you’ll still get that oversized look."
Meanwhile, this customer says to take care when washing. "I love this top! It’s lightweight and you can style it in several different ways," they wrote in their five-star review. "The only bad thing is if I wash it with my bras the clasps end up snagging the shirt in the wash and get twisted. So be careful how you wash it."
You'll be reaching for this soft, oversized layer all fall and winter.
