Light yet warm, loose yet flattering — this waffle-knit top does it all. (Amazon)(Amazon)
As the days get shorter and chillier, we find ourselves looking for wardrobe pieces that will work hard for the rest of fall, winter and beyond. Our exhaustive searches brought us to the Dokotoo Waffle Knit Top. It's the rare piece that's cozy without making you sweaty and even though it's practically made to be worn with leggings, it gives a sexy boho vibe to pants and even skirts. An oversized fit with a long-in-the-back cut, it can be worn in a ton of different ways and flatters a ton of different body types. Best of all, it's it's only $30 in most colors and sizes.
Oprah said it: "With a smaller pouch perfect for makeup and a larger one for accessories," this hardworking duo is the ultimate travel companion. It's made with quality vegan leather, so she even suggests emptying the larger pouch and "transforming it into a going-out bag." Genius.

While black is always classic, we love the harvest-y shades like brown, yellow and khaki that this shirt comes in, too.
We can't get enough tops that offer comfortable coverage, especially in the tush area — after all, 'tis the season for leggings, leggings, leggings! And shoppers rave that the Dokotoo Waffle Knit Top does just that, while also remaining lightweight, warm, flowy and flattering. The waffle-knit texture feels great against the skin, and adds a little extra visual interest compared to your standard shirt. Plus, it's versatile: you can dress it up a touch with a pair of crisp blue jeans, stay comfy with your favorite stretchies underneath, wear it layered over a tank top or even tuck it into a fetching flannel skirt. The longer back means you'll always be covered.
More than 1,600 Amazon shoppers have given the Dokotoo Waffle Knit Top a five-star rating, with many highlighting the shirt's flattering look, lightweight warmth and comfort factor.

"The only reason why I gave it four stars was because the sleeves are a little shorter than I'd like," said another customer.
