'Hid my mommy belly': Shoppers say this button-down, on sale for $31, is a comfy spring layer

Spring brings so much fun to our lives — holidays like Easter and more daylight are just a couple of examples. However, it also brings plenty of unpredictable weather. From powerful storms to days that start chilly and end balmy, spring is arguably the hardest season to dress for. Layering is your friend for these unusual days, and Amazon shoppers have found a spring staple they say is ideal for tossing on or taking off as temps change: the Dokotoo Waffle Knit Shacket Jacket.

This shirt/jacket hybrid is lightweight enough to wear during warmer months but substantial enough as a layer on chillier days.

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 $31 right now with an on-page coupon — that's a discount of over 20%. 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.

Why do I need this?

If you're someone who never leaves home without a cardigan or jean jacket in the spring, this is for you. The shacket is lightweight and can be tossed on over your favorite tee or tank for extra warmth and coverage. However, you can also button it up and wear it by itself. Pair it with shorts, jeans or leggings — come summertime, it even makes for a great swimsuit cover-up.

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 100 of Dokotoo's Waffle Knit Shacket Jackets in the last month, and more than 1,100 have given it five stars.

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 for summer ... 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. Also not as soft as I expected, but it's not so bad that it's uncomfortable. Overall happy with it and will probably wear it often."

You might just reach for this soft, oversized layer all spring and summer.
