Let me start by saying, this Dokotoo waffle knit top is a game-changer for my summer wardrobe. The lightweight, breathable fabric feels like a dream against the skin—perfect for those scorching days when you want to look put-together without melting.
The scoop neck and crochet detailing add a touch of elegance, making it versatile enough for both casual outings and office wear. I paired mine with white jeans and sandals for a brunch date, and it was effortlessly chic.
Now, the *see-through factor*: Yes, the mesh top half requires a cami or nude bra (as many reviews noted). I wore a beige bralette underneath, and it looked intentional—almost like part of the design! Pro tip: If you're feeling bold, try a colored bralette for a fun peekaboo effect.
Fit-wise, *size down*. I’m usually a medium (5’7”, 145 lbs), but the small fit perfectly with a relaxed drape. The length hits mid-hip on me—great for tucking into high-waisted bottoms or leaving loose over leggings.
One gripe? The *color bleed* during the first wash (cold water!). Save your whites and wash it alone initially. That aside, after air-drying, it held its shape beautifully—no stretching or pilling.
For $20-ish? Unbeatable. It looks far pricier than it is, and the unique knit texture sets it apart from basic tees. Just wish it came in more colors—I’d buy multiples!
