Throw it on and look amazing

Some tops try too hard. This one doesn't have to.

The Aerela is a lightweight openwork mesh knit that drapes over your shoulders and moves with you — not against you.

Cool enough for the hottest afternoons. Stylish enough for dinner on the patio.

Just slip it on over a cami or swimsuit, and you're done.

Looks effortless, feels even better
The open mesh weave lets air flow right through, so you stay cool without looking like you're dressed for the gym. Just easy, breezy style.

Beach to brunch in one layer
Throw it over a swimsuit at the pool. Pair it with a cami for Saturday brunch. One top that works wherever the day takes you.

A modern twist on crochet
The geometric grid pattern gives this knit a cleaner, more polished look than traditional crochet — so it reads "intentional," not "crafty."

Soft knit that holds its shape
Lightweight mesh that drapes beautifully without stretching out. Wash after wash, it keeps its form and stays soft against your skin.

Frequently asked questions

Is this top see-through?
The openwork mesh design is intentionally open, so we recommend wearing a cami, bralette, or swimsuit underneath for the coverage level you're comfortable with. That's part of the styling — it's designed to layer.

Does it run true to size?
This top has a relaxed, slightly oversized fit by design. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down one size. Check our size chart for exact measurements.

Can I machine wash it?
Yes. We recommend a cold wash on a gentle cycle and laying flat to dry to keep the knit in great shape.

Is this only for the beach?
Not at all. It works beautifully over a tank top for brunch, errands, or evening drinks. The mesh pattern reads stylish, not beachy, when styled with everyday pieces.

Kind Words From Our Customers

I was nervous to order online but the quality blew me away. Fits perfectly and looks exactly like the photos. Already ordered two more pieces!

Patricia H., Nashville, TN

I followed the size guide and it fit like it was made for me. Wore it to church Sunday and three women asked where I got it.

Diane R., Atlanta, GA

Had to return one top and customer service was so kind and easy. Got my refund within days and ordered again the same day.

Carol W., Phoenix, AZ

I thought boutique meant expensive but I got three beautiful pieces for less than one from the department store. My sister ordered the same day she saw me wearing it.

Beverly T., Richmond, VA

Everything in stores is either for teenagers or for women who gave up on style. Dorothy and James is different. I feel like myself again.

Margaret L., Portland, OR

I never spend money on myself but my friend said this sale was a gift from Dorothy and James to me. She was right. Worth every penny.

Ruth Ann K., Charlotte, NC

Arrived faster than I expected and packaged so nicely. The quality is better than anything I've found at the mall. Best online purchase I've made in years.

Sandra M., Columbus, OH
