The knitted tank top – A classic, done with a real sense of attitude as you would expect from Ds2. Gorgeous deep red colour simply cut and then styled with those amazing chains around the neck and two sequin tapers imitating braces that hang slightly loosely down the front. The trousers are cut narrow and crop, they have huge turn ups added at the hem. The crease down the front of the trousers look like they maybe a pintuck to give them definition.

Who can resist such a fantastic denim jacket, I LOVE patches and the current trend seems set to continue. Some people say less is more but I say less is just less and with an outfit like this you need all those patches. This is what I need in my wardrobe. I love it….

A shirt jacket if you will but done slightly differently with a zip front. I like the mix of leather and khaki cotton, love the Safari type pockets and the red stripe just adds that edge to the whole look. Note the white stripe around the collar and also the waistband just adds another highlight.

Glam punk. I think we’ve established that real man do wear pink and that shirt with the button down collars is a classic and I love the styling of the sleeves rolled high up on the arm. The jeans are amazing, lots of different techniques used within the one item but nothing overpowers anything else. Now if real men can wear pink can real men wear sparkly high heeled boots?… Discuss…

These splattered bleach Jean are amazing, really loving this style, we have to see these being done on the high street. Simple check shirt, cut narrow and the short sleeves cut high on the biceps. A really well worked outfit.

A real mod style military jacket. Of course loving the patches the fly button front is a lovely detail. I like the textured knit worn underneath and that stone/pink colour works really well with the khaki. Those amazing ripped and bleached jeans again. 

The waffle texture in this cardigan is lovely and the same stove/pink colouring this is a real star item and one that would fit into my wardrobe well. Note the styling with the last 2 buttons on the cardigan undone, I really think that when worn casually you should never close those last buttons. Another pair of those bleach blotched jeans.

I cross breed – the leather biker jacket mixed with a bomber. Loving this style, the red tape used to add highlights to the jacket, great zip detail, finished off with those bomber jacket sleeves. Matched with those fantastic jeans as before.

More of the cross breeding with this blazer mixed with a classic denim jacket. I really like the detailing with the fastening and how the denim is used only on that panel, across the shoulders and collars. More of the red and white panels as highlights. The jacket then turns into a classic tailored blazer but then the arms are leather. 

Just give me more and more of that glam style. A proper sequin tuxedo blazer, satin collars no less. Lovely purple knit with that shiny thread. The jeans silver, metallic, shiny and gorgeous. This is a stunning outfit and full of modern glamour.

Well they have done the bleach blotched jeans so the matching jacket he to be here somewhere. What I really like about this whole effect is that neither the Blue nor the White over power each other which could easily happen. The biker pants also have a touch of military about them, that khaki mixed with the leather works so well and the red to really bring the whole look together.

I love camouflage, it’s something I buy every season and is now a real classic print in menswear. This bomber jacket is really cool. The camouflage itself has been scaled smaller then usual which allows a more even distribution of the colours. Really interning colour pallette for that matter, a light khaki, a sandy brown, a burnt orange and then that amazing burgundy. Well thought out look.

Another classic bomber jacket but this time a floral print. Again great colouring, more khaki as a base and such a great flower print. The ribs are cool in that marl grey. Love this jacket.

I picked this because of the styling used. I’m a fan of wearing two jackets and I always start off with a denim jacket as the base. This is something you really need to try and experiment with. Note the 2nd jacket worn just on the shoulders, exudes style.

Wow, an amazing re-work of the classic single button Navy blazer. Ok the button has been replaced with a zip, and I like the vertical zip next to those lapels. Fishnet which has had somewhat of a revival this years seems to be moving into the new season. The jeans are as before the addition is that kilt that is worn untied and just floats around the thighs. Gorgeous look.

 Can I start off with that Klit, done so well in that bleach bloat denim, just look at those pleats, fantastic. The Klit itself is then attached by a zip to the jacket that’s worn underneath. I like the whole look of a long line jacket worn underneath with a shirt jacket on top. It’s worth experimenting with, great style. The outer jacket itself is a re-worked baseball jacket with fantastic leather sleeves, wonderful zip detail. 

DSquared2 SS17 – Glam, glam, glam mixed with a little punk, a little mod, a little military and a little biker chic. This is a gorgeous collection. The denim is well worked with lots of great technique. The jackets have been cross bred with other styles with a mix of fabrics. All are well worked and coherent. The styling is feminine in its approach but masculine in its execution which is why it’s so glamorous. I love this collection, we must see those ripped and bleached denim on the high street as well as the use of more patches. The high street should also consider using different fabrics on the same jacket even if it’s just a leather sleeve.  Also take inspiration from the textured knits. Beautiful work from the brothers D.
