Floral prints may not be a usual go-to for fall (they’re more of a spring thing), but a painterly, abstract take on the trend is a refreshing way to bring the essence of poppies and dahlias into the cooler months of the year. For an outdoor wedding, in a garden or at a winery, this dress will fit right in.
Sizes: XXS–XL / Colors: 2 options / Material: 59% viscose, 41% cotton

Sarah Staudinger’s spring 2026 collection was a full-fledged love letter to California. Earlier this year, Staudinger lost her childhood home during the wildfires. As a California born and bred brand, she wanted her spring 2026 collection to be a celebration of everything she loves about the Golden State. “It was very much an homage to California through the aftermath of the fire,” she said. “I grew up on the Pacific coastline, and even though it was devastating that we lost all these houses and I lost my home and everything, there was this amazing sense of energy that embodies the California lifestyle. In retrospect there was so much joy and this collection was so easy to create because it was so personal to all of us at Staud and allowed us to honor our home.”
Some of the joys include surfing, Staudinger being a huge surfer and beach lover herself. There were surf-inspired pieces including long board shorts, except Staudinger’s were fashionable and trimmed with lace or came in some fun stripes. Crop tops looked like rash guards and were adorned with a cute shark embellishment, and new bags include leather surfboard clutches. A key point, the designer pointed out, is that the bag has real surf fins on the back: she wasn’t playing around on the details.
However, the most valuable aspect of this collection was that the pieces felt both nostalgic and fresh. Many pieces you could envision on a Marissa Cooper or Summer Roberts if The O.C. were set in today’s world, including the yellow terry cloth après-beach coverup, and the sultry beaded gold shirt that would look great with a pair of Staud’s new jeans.
Some standouts of the collection included a silk palm tree printed dress and coat. Against an orange and green backdrop that faded into a dark navy was a picturesque palm tree skyline, an indicator that even after the fires, California’s beauty will always remain.
Tracking down the best gifts for teen boys is no small feat. In middle and high school, interests, trends, and culture are changing non-stop, which you’ll find reflected in your teen boys’ wishlist (or, distressingly, lack thereof). So what do teen boys actually want? We spoke to teens, tweens, and their loved ones (and did some heavy TikTok research) to find out what’s popular this year.
Have a gamer in your life? The teens we polled said a headset with surround sound and cushy foam padding is a W, while a high-quality mini-fridge was the cherry on top. Know an aspiring athlete (or just a teen who wants to look like one)? The sports fanatics we chatted with had one brand on their minds: Nike, still reigning supreme as the trendiest label among high schoolers, although Adidas is a close second. AirPods were also huge, and tons of teens were itching for things that make them feel a little more grown up, à la cologne and grooming tools. Find more of the most unique gift ideas for teen guys that’ll earn you instant cred, below.
In order to build our list for gifts for teen boys, we scoured TikTok, Reddit, Instagram, and the best-sellers from popular brands like Nike, Adidas, and Pop Mart. We also polled actual teens about what they’re loving and what’s on their wishlist. The responses included a wide range of categories, and something meaningful and exciting for all types of teens.
Designers Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, who have served as co-creative directors at Oscar de la Renta for nearly a decade, are leaving the brand, a rep confirmed Wednesday. Puck’s Lauren Sherman was first to report the news. Per Sherman, employees were notified on Wednesday …

“It just continues,” offered the 6397 designer Lizzie Owens this morning at the brand’s showroom. “It’s what 6397 is, it’s all about real clothes, but they still have something compelling to them. It’s familiar, but it’s also new.”
Most labels, in New York or elsewhere, that offer the kinds of clothes that 6397 does—contemporary, wearable, pragmatic—swear by a similar ethos. But at 6397 it happens to be true. An all-American heather gray knit had a silver tint to it; the stripes in the knitted vests and dresses were slightly askew, and blazers were finished with gathered, almost bubble hems. Poplin shirting wasn’t reserved for button downs only, but appeared fashioned into a style reminiscent of a hoodie. Kilts and skirts were not constrictive and “body-con,” but both square-ish and flattering, and almost gender-agnostic.
Owens said this season the 6397 team looked at “some older, demure ideas from the mid-century.” These included roomy dresses whose shapes were reminiscent of couture gowns of yore, had they been invertebrates (meaning, no boning, corseting, or such constrictions), plus bateau necklines, and even pedal-pusher-length bottoms, which Owens said she’s referring as beyond shorts. “Even a few of these names feel… old,” she said, before remarking with a laugh that in cities like New York “we are still pushing pedals, but on Citi Bikes.”
She’s right, and she was also right in rendering said beyond shorts in knits with snaps down each exterior side seam. She was right in cutting dresses as if they were boxy tees, and in applying the bateau neckline in question to said dresses or poplin shirts, making them unprecedentedly cool. The most on-the-money she was this season, however, was in how she kept referring to these concoctions: “summer solutions.” Nothing old or demure about those.
