This Midi Skirt Is So Good, It Sold Out Three Times – Now, It’s Finally Back In Stock

Sometimes, it's easy to predict that something is going to be a sell-out success. High street collaborations with designers, for instance – Anya Hindmarch x Uniqlo and Gap x Dôen are two which launched today – or an exciting new launch from one of the world's leading designers; case in point: Gucci's new Giglio bag. Then there are those items which come with a little less fanfare but which prove themselves to be the sorts of pieces which form the backbone of any good wardrobe. Cefinn's Sophia skirt is one such piece; it is so versatile and hard working (sartorially-speaking) that it has sold out three times already. Thankfully, it's now back in stock.

If you're not familiar with Cefinn, it's the brainchild of Samantha Cameron, who was inspired by her own need for smart stylish clothes to aid a busy life. The result is a collection of great tailoring, pretty dresses and chic separates, all of which work for all kinds of eventualities. Since its launch in 2017, Cefinn has expanded to include more casual pieces, too, and has amassed a loyal following of women with diverse personal styles.

First launched in autumn 2023, the Sophia skirt is a simple pleated midi skirt that has had to be restocked several times since. Worn by many women on Instagram, I think the reason it's been so popular is its quality. Available in multiple different colours, as well as denim, it sits on the waist and has box pleats which start just below the hips, making for the most flattering fit. It can be worn with tucked-in tees, crisp shirts or button-up knits; knee-high boots work well with it in autumn, while ballet pumps and sandals are perfect for summer. In short, this skirt is versatile, it can be dressed up or down and it works on all body shapes. No wonder, then, that it's been selling so well.

While the denim Sophia skirt is only available in a few sizes now, the black, navy and cream versions are ready to shop. Be warned though, last time the cream skirt was restocked, it sold out in a matter of weeks. Given the prevalence of white skirts this summer, this seems like the perfect time to add one of the best to your wardrobe.

If you're more of a colourful dresser, take note that Cefinn is launching the skirt in lavender, rust and dark green next month, all of which are shades suitable throughout the year. Make haste, these skirts won't be in stock for long.
