Where to start

Shop by bench

Six benches at Halife, and each card carries the three facts that decide a top: sleeve, neckline, length.

The one people keep buying

The 3/4 sleeve top, in every colour we could get

It ends where a bracelet sits, it does not fight a jacket sleeve, and it works under a cardigan in an office that keeps the air at sixty-eight. The Halife workroom has re-cut it twice and changed almost nothing.

The Halife Journal

Three long reads

Sizing between two numbers, what a cover-up covers in the sun, and how to keep a summer dress past one season.

All three
FitBetween two sizes

The two measurements that settle almost every sizing question, and the one rule that tells you which way to lean.

ReadSunWhat a cover-up covers

A cover-up is a layer, not a rating. What the UV index is telling you, and what dry fabric does that wet fabric does not.

ReadCareReading a care label

The care tag is a legal document with a short vocabulary. What the rule forces it to say, and what happens when you ignore it.

Before you order

Straight answers

I am between two sizes. Which one?

On a knit top or a cardigan, take the smaller size: these are cut loose and a knit gives. On a woven blouse or a shirt dress, take the larger one, because a woven does not. The sizing guide walks through the two measurements that settle it.

Do the dresses have pockets?

Some do and the card says so. Where a page is silent about pockets, the piece does not have them and we have not written them in.

What does a cover-up cover?

Shoulders, upper arms and whatever the hem reaches, and only while it is dry. It is a layer, not sun protection with a rating, and the sun guide explains the difference.

Why is every size its own page?

Because every size has its own price and its own stock at our retail partner. One page per size is the only way the figure on the card is the figure you pay.

Where does the order happen?

At our retail partner. The button opens that exact size and colour there in a new tab, and the payment, the delivery and any return are handled on their side.

How often do prices change here?

We refresh them in batches on a schedule, and the date of the last batch is on the prices page. A size with no current price loses its page until the price comes back.
