Warm • Collected • Sunwashed

A dress that feels like golden hour, barefoot evenings, and a suitcase packed for somewhere beautiful.

The Hinoki Journal

Some dresses make you want to stay a little longer.

The Sofia Maxi Dress in Coral carries that unmistakable feeling of late summer. The warm coral hue glows in the evening light, while the artisan-inspired botanical print adds a sense of craftsmanship that feels collected rather than manufactured. It's the kind of piece that instantly transports you to slower mornings, open-air markets, seaside dinners, and vacations where time seems to stretch just a little longer.

This colorway feels especially joyful. It's vibrant without being loud, feminine without feeling overly sweet, and flattering against every skin tone. The relaxed silhouette allows the print to take center stage, while the tiered hem creates beautiful movement with every step.

Like its ivory counterpart, the Sofia is endlessly versatile. Wear it buttoned as a flowing maxi dress for dinner with friends or an afternoon wine tasting. Add the belt for a softly defined waist when you want a more polished look. Then, when your plans become more relaxed, unbutton it completely and wear it as a lightweight layer over denim shorts, linen pants, or your favorite swimsuit.

At Hinoki, we believe the best pieces are the ones you never have to overthink. The Sofia is one of those dresses that always feels right, whether you're traveling somewhere new or simply making an ordinary weekend feel a little more special.

It's warm, effortless, and destined to become one of those pieces you'll pack first every time.

Hinoki Fit Notes

This dress runs true to size with a relaxed silhouette.

A Small fits like a typical Small with generous room through the body. The removable belt allows you to define the waist when you'd like a little more shape, while the relaxed cut makes it equally beautiful worn loose. The full button front also makes this an incredibly versatile layering piece.

✦ Amy's Styling Tip

I have to admit...this might be one of my favorite dresses in the entire collection.

When I want to feel a little more put together, I wear it buttoned with the belt tied just above my natural waist. I gently blouse the fabric over the belt to create soft shape without losing the relaxed feel.

For everyday, I often skip the belt completely and let the dress flow naturally with leather sandals and layered jewelry.

But the styling trick I come back to over and over is wearing it fully unbuttoned as a duster. Throw it over denim shorts or your favorite jeans with a simple white tee or tank, and it completely transforms into an effortless layering piece. It's one of those garments that gives you three completely different looks, which makes it one of the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe.

Hinoki Care Suggestions

Beautiful garments deserve thoughtful care.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water or hand wash to preserve the richness of the color and softness of the fabric. Hang to dry and lightly steam if needed. With every wash, the natural fabric becomes even softer, making this a dress you'll continue reaching for season after season.
