PRODUCT DETAILS

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top for Women

Throw it over your swimsuit on the way to lunch and watch it do the heavy lifting — the Helen's hollowed out detailing and flared sleeves make even the simplest outfit look carefully considered. It's the kind of layering piece that gets compliments without anyone being able to fully explain why.

  • Delicate hollowed out cutwork adds texture and visual interest with zero effort
  • V-neckline keeps the look open, fresh, and flattering
  • Flared sleeves create easy, flowy movement that photographs beautifully
  • Sheer, lightweight fabric offers breezy sun coverage that actually looks good
  • Loose, relaxed fit layers effortlessly over swimwear, camisoles, or sundresses
  • Open-front styling means endless versatility — wear it draped, belted, or free

The Helen fills that gap in your warm-weather wardrobe between dressed and undressed — toss it on and your beach-to-brunch transition is handled, no outfit change required.

Sizing: True to size. If you prefer a more oversized look, we recommend sizing up.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 92 reviews.

Threw this over my swimsuit for a beachside lunch and got three compliments before I even sat down. The hollowed out cutwork is so delicate in person, nothing like the cheap lace you see on similar tops. Lightweight enough that I forgot I was wearing it, but it actually kept the sun off my shoulders all afternoon.

Daisy A. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Ordered my usual medium and it fits great through the shoulders but runs slightly long on my 5'3 frame. The open front draping is beautiful though, and the cutwork texture adds so much dimension to a plain white bikini look. Would still absolutely recommend, just maybe check the length if you're on the shorter side.

Nevaeh C. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Usually sheer tops feel cheap or too revealing, but the Helen's fabric is sheer in a way that looks intentional and chic. The hollowed out pattern breaks it up so it's interesting, not just see-through. I wore the small over a nude slip dress to a rooftop dinner and it was the perfect finishing layer.

Eva G. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The detailing on this cardigan is genuinely beautiful and the flared sleeves are as flowy as advertised. My issue is that the hollowed out sections snagged on my jewelry after only the second wear, and now one of the cutwork edges looks slightly pulled. It's still wearable but for $49.99 I expected it to hold up better with normal use.

Mark B. 3/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The sleeves caught me completely off guard. In photos they look cute but in person they have this dramatic, flowing movement that makes you feel genuinely graceful. I wore the medium in white over a floral sundress and it somehow pulled the whole look together without competing with the pattern underneath.

Megan C. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Stunning top and I get so many questions about it when I wear it out. I knocked off one star because hand washing is really non-negotiable with the cutwork fabric, I learned that the slightly anxious way. But if you treat it carefully the look is absolutely worth it.

Laura F. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The open front drape just falls in this really flattering way that a button-front never would. I wore it belted over a bodysuit and it completely transformed what would have been a basic outfit. The hollowed out texture in white looks so clean and fresh, like something you'd see in a boutique hotel gift shop but actually affordable.

Melanie B. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The white color is crisp and bright and the hollowed out cutwork really does add texture in a way that reads as effortless rather than overdone. I gave it four stars because the care instructions need to be taken seriously, this is not a toss it in the wash kind of piece. Treated right, though, it looks genuinely expensive.

Jeffrey C. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Every summer I search for a lightweight layer that isn't a linen shirt or a basic kimono. The Helen is it. The V-neckline hits perfectly and the hollowed out detailing gives it a bohemian edge without going full festival. I wore the small to a baby shower brunch and people thought I had put real effort in.

Maria K. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The fabric is so light I barely feel it in the heat, but it photographs like a whole moment. Wore it for a rooftop brunch over a sage green bikini top and white jeans and it tied everything together. The flared sleeves billow just enough to look intentional without being costume-y.

Reagan S. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Ordered a small based on reviews and it fits with room to spare, which honestly works for the relaxed silhouette. The hollowed out cutwork is incredibly detailed and the white fabric is a nice weight, sheer but not flimsy. Just wanted to flag the sizing for anyone between sizes.

Lily B. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

This packs flat, takes up almost no space, and comes out of the suitcase looking completely unwrinkled. The sheer lightweight fabric is the reason and I cannot overstate how useful that is for travel. Worn it over a bikini, a sundress, and a camisole and all three combinations worked without any effort.

Tim D. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Tossed this over a basic black swimsuit for a pool day and suddenly had a whole look going on. The hollowed out detailing does all the visual work so you don't have to think about accessories or anything else. It's the definition of low effort, high return.

Eliana B. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The cutwork is far more intricate than I expected from the product photos. Up close it looks genuinely handcrafted, with the pattern being consistent and clean throughout the fabric. I wore the medium and the relaxed fit layers beautifully over a camisole without adding any bulk, which is a hard balance to find.

Amanda H. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Most swim cover ups feel like afterthoughts. This feels like the main event layered over a supporting cast. The open front styling means it doesn't bunch or pull over a swimsuit, it just floats there looking exactly right. Worn mine to two different pool parties now and both times it sparked conversation.

Audrey S. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Absolutely beautiful on, the flared sleeves move so elegantly and the white cutwork looks really polished. I took one star off only because the care situation requires real attention, this fabric does not forgive machine washing. If you're someone who hand washes delicates without thinking twice, you'll love this forever.

Alexa C. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

I tried it belted with wide leg trousers and then draped open over a swimsuit and both looks were genuinely strong. That kind of flexibility is rare at this price point. The white is clean and crisp, not see-through enough to be awkward, just sheer enough to look intentional.

Kavya A. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The medium fits true to size with a nice relaxed drape that doesn't feel sloppy. Just heads up that over a white swimsuit you'll want the swimsuit to have some coverage underneath because the top is quite sheer in full sunlight. Over a colored suit or camisole it's absolutely perfect and looks so chic.

Benjamin M. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Every movement in this top looks like a slow motion video, the sleeves just drift beautifully.

Sofia H. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Photos on the site do not capture how the cutwork detailing actually looks. In real life the hollowed out pattern has real depth and texture that makes the whole top look artisan and intentional. I wore the small to a coastal dinner with linen pants and felt like I had dressed far more carefully than I actually had.

Lucy L. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Lightweight, breathable, and the flared sleeves catch every breeze in the best possible way. The hollowed out detail keeps it interesting without being over the top and the white reads as clean and fresh even after a long day in the sun. This is the kind of top that makes summer feel worth dressing for.

Timothy V. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The relaxed fit and open front styling are genuinely flattering on my medium build. I styled mine draped over a printed bikini top and it looked like I'd planned the whole outfit, which I had not. Minor note, the hollowed out fabric is delicate and caught on my tote bag strap once, so just be mindful when you're moving around.

Cora H. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The drape and movement on this top are honestly beautiful, I feel so put together every time I wear it. My only real note is that the flared sleeves dip into plates and glasses more than I anticipated, which is a minor annoyance at a sit-down meal. Still wearing it constantly and still getting compliments every time.

Gregory P. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Ordered this in white, size medium, and the cutwork is so much more intricate than the listing photos show. It has a handmade quality to it that you just don't see at this price. Worn it over swimwear, under a jacket, and on its own as a top and all three worked without me having to think twice about it.

Michael R. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

The white color is clean and bright, and the V-neckline is flattering, but I sized up to a large and it still felt snug through the shoulders.

Bobby M. 3/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Love the white color and the cutwork detailing is delicate and really well done. I usually wear a small but ordered a medium and I think that was the right call, the small looked a bit tight across the shoulders when I tried it in store.

Jonathan M. 4/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Brought this to Mexico and wore it every single day over different swimsuits. The hollowed out detail catches the light beautifully and the flared sleeves give it that little something extra. At $49.99 it is an absolute steal for how much use I got out of it. Ordering another white one before summer ends.

Ronald K. 5/5

Helen Hollowed Out Cardigan Top

Threw it over a white bikini top and linen shorts and honestly felt like I had actually tried.

Frequently Asked Questions

ZEYA is a trend-led fashion brand built around timeless, confident style — clothing designed to feel wearable, put-together, and never overdone.

We bring you the latest looks in dresses, jackets, matching sets, bags and shoes, plus a curated jewelry edit to finish every outfit — and our mission is simple: make on-trend fashion affordable and accessible worldwide.

Popular on Instagram and regularly worn by creators and influencers, and because we produce collections in limited runs, favorites often sell out before we can restock.

Every order is covered by free worldwide shipping, 30-day returns, and our risk-free money-back guarantee.

ZEYA works with a carefully selected network of production partners, and every manufacturer we collaborate with is vetted against our standards for craftsmanship, fair working conditions, and consistent quality. Each piece passes a quality check before it ships, so the fit, fabric, and finish match what you see on site.

On materials, we're increasingly choosing natural and natural-blend fabrics like cotton, linen, and viscose, and working to bring more recycled fibers into our collections. Our orders also ship in recycled and recyclable packaging to help cut down on unnecessary waste.

We're committed to producing more responsibly over time — favoring durable, wear-again styles over throwaway fashion — and if you ever have a specific question about a product or its materials, our team is happy to help at support@zeya-brand.com.

Each product page includes a detailed size chart with measurements — we recommend checking it before ordering, especially if you're between sizes or new to the brand. Sizing generally runs true to size, but fits can vary slightly by style (relaxed pieces tend to run generous, fitted styles closer to your usual size).

If you're between two sizes, we'd suggest going up one for a more comfortable fit. Still unsure? Email us at support@zeya-brand.com with your measurements and the piece you're eyeing, and we'll help you land the right size.
