Staud Resort 2026 Collection
For Resort 2026, Sarah Staudinger delivers a collection that seamlessly blends the unexpected — think après-ski meets beachside minimalism. Aptly described by the designer as “the union of opposites,” the collection is rooted in a playful yet polished sensibility, offering pieces that transition effortlessly from sun-drenched coasts to winter retreats.
This duality is expressed through surprising pairings like nacre-shell-adorned bikinis styled with padded, taffeta pencil skirts that evoke the feel of outerwear, as well as voluminous après-ski jackets layered over ’90s-inspired minimalist dresses. Staudinger’s signature sense of fun is evident in every look, while refined tailoring and clever construction elevate each piece beyond trend.
The collection also embraces contrasts in texture and silhouette. Crinkled tunics worn over fluid trousers, sheer slip dresses with lace insets featuring seasonal motifs, and sculptural draped gowns strike a balance between structure and ease, day and night. Though Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wasn’t a direct inspiration, the modern simplicity and effortlessness of her aesthetic are quietly echoed throughout.
Accessories underscore the collection’s irreverent spirit: flat beaded Alba sandals emblazoned with “Do Not Disturb,” playful clutch bags including one shaped like a miniature couch, and statement outerwear with a handcrafted sensibility that reinforces the brand’s commitment to personality-driven fashion.
Ultimately, Resort 2026 is for the woman who doesn’t want to choose between extremes — she thrives in the in-between. Whether lounging on a beach or heading to a mountain retreat, she embodies Staud’s vision of confidence, comfort, and self-expression through contrast.
