Hy Pa–Hy Ma opened its doors 48 years ago and one thing has stayed constant: they have sophisticated, fashionable, yet comfortable clothing. This beloved boutique continues to shine as one of Delray Beach’s most enduring fashion destinations.
Established in 1978 (when the building itself was construct-ed) this family-owned shop has become a quiet fashion leg-end. One that understands women, style, and the art of feeling beautiful at every age.
Tucked just off Atlantic Avenue, Hy Pa–Hy Ma is a hidden gem but inside is a sparkling treasure chest of fashion. There are elegant cocktail outfits, sophisticated cruise wear, polished sportswear, and accessories that feel both special and wearable.
This season’s collections blend comfort with glamour, offering classic two-piece cruise ensembles in rich navy blue and neutrals that transition seamlessly into cocktail attire.
The wide palazzo pants in double knit are flattering and fashionable. So are the stretch pants and beautifully tailored jackets with zippers and novelty trim. If you want some pizazz in your life, they have jackets and pants adorned with beading, rhinestones, or sequins to elevate your fashion stance from day to evening.
Statement jackets also take center stage. There are black sequin blazers, and motorcycle jackets in assorted colors and fabrics. The tan and black geometric suede cloth jacket – in a motorcycle style – offers newness and novelty.
Stand-up collar tops are trimmed with rhinestones and color-ful trimming, while silk blouses are detailed with sequins and gold chain accents. Denim pieces feature appliqués and sparkling art-istry and individuality. There are also flattering knit dresses with rhinestone trim for day to evening.
Hy Pa–Hy Ma is known for offering brands women trust and love, including Joseph Ribkoff, Frank Lyman and everyone’s favorite, Clara Sun Woo. Clara’s soft knit pieces roll up easily, resist wrinkles, and flatter the figure, making them ideal for travel, cruising, or day to evening wear.
The silhouettes are stylish, elegant and timeless with a designer flair. They also have a selection of fashionable tops and pants in colors like soft blues and navy, black tan, and silver – perfect for land or sea.
Hy Pa-Hy Ma’s versatility and elegance stake its claim on uniqueness and comfort. The clothing and styles also have an ageless appeal. From a midnight-blue knit top with woven collar and matching pants, to a silver off-the-shoulder lurex dress, the mix speaks to women across generations.
A tan puckered jacket with zip front has coordinating knit pants, jumpsuits have subtle sparkle, and tailored separates and dresses strike the perfect balance between casual elegance and cocktail-ready sophistication.
Accessories are curated with equal care. Evening handbags spar-kle alongside wonderful one-of-a kind accessories. They offer a designer-inspired style savvy without the designer price tag.
Behind this enduring fashion success story is founder Nance Bernet. The former design student has a keen eye for women’s clothing that is exciting and fashionable. Now the torch has been passed to her daughter Mia.
Mia is now the store’s head buyer and fashion curator. Together, they have maintained the boutique’s original spirit, while keeping the collections fresh and relevant.
“Women often tell us how happy they are that we’re still here,” says Mia. “There are so few stores that truly focus on quality, fit, and personal service.”
In a time when independent boutiques are disappearing, Hy Pa Hy Ma stands out for its care, consistency, and genuine connection to its customers. Shoppers are greeted with warmth, guided with expertise, and encouraged to find pieces that make them feel con-fident and beautiful.
The boutique’s warm, dark wood interior was designed to be a calming respite from the rush and reality of the outside world.
Hy Pa- Hy Ma is a place where customers are treated with kindness, dignity, and personal attention. It’s where outfits are styled thoughtfully, and accessories are artfully curated to show how fashion should truly come together.
They also have everyone’s favorite comfortable, yet flattering pants, the Slim-Sation pant. This wardrobe staple has a smooth tummy-control panel, shape recovery technology, and a flattering fit. They also have a great selection of neutral knit pants that feel so comfortable, you can wear them all day long. They’re perfect for dining, travel, or day to evening wear.
That sense of discovery is what keeps women coming back sea-son after season. And that discovery is always a treat – always excit-ing. Because if fashion isn’t fun, what could be?
Stores like Hy Pa–Hy Ma are rare and worth celebrating. With its carefully curated clothing, one-of-a-kind accessories, and endearing family legacy, this boutique continues to outshine the competition, proving that great style never goes out of fashion.
When you need a pick me up, or a great outfit for a special occasion, head over to Hy Pa-Hy Ma. You’ll be glad you did.
