Float Through Warm Days in Soft Layers
There's a certain kind of easy beauty in a layer that moves with you.
The Valentina Balducci™ drapes light and airy over anything already in your closet, so you look pulled-together without trying.

It slips on over a tank, a dress, or your favorite jeans and just works.
The soft gauze weave falls in a way that feels light and flattering, never heavy or clingy.
One piece, and you feel effortlessly put-together from morning coffee to evening walks.

One of our most-reordered warm-weather layers
✓ One Layer That Works Over Everything
The open front means you never fuss with buttons or zippers. Throw it over a tank, a summer dress, or jeans, and it drapes to complete the look in seconds.

✓ Light Enough For Warm Days, Covered Enough For Comfort
The gauze weave lets air move through, so you stay cool on hot afternoons. It gives your shoulders and arms a soft layer without the heat of a heavy fabric.

✓ Falls Soft And Flowing, Never Clingy
The loose gauze fabric hangs away from your body instead of sticking to it. You get a relaxed drape that skims your shape and moves as you walk.

✓ Rolls Up Small For Your Bag
The thin fabric folds down to almost nothing, so it slips into a tote or travel bag with room to spare. Keep one on hand for cool restaurants, offices, or evening breezes.

✓ Feel Put-Together In Under 10 Seconds
Slip it on and you look finished without planning an outfit. It turns the clothes you already own into something you feel good wearing out the door.

Frequently asked questions
Is this cardigan see-through?
The gauze weave is light and airy, but it works best as a layer over a tank, tee, or dress rather than on its own. Wearing something underneath keeps you covered and comfortable while still letting air move through.
Does the gauze fabric wrinkle a lot?
The loose weave can pick up soft creases when it's folded or packed, but most of them fall out once you hang it up. A quick shake or a light steam smooths it right back to a relaxed drape.
How does the sizing run?
This cardigan has an open, relaxed cut that's meant to hang loose over your outfit, so it isn't a tight fit. If you like a roomier drape or plan to layer over thicker clothes, you can size up for extra room.
Will the color look the same in person?
The colors are made to match the shade names closely, so what you order is what you'll get. Keep in mind that lighting at home can make any fabric look slightly warmer or cooler.
