DSquared2 SS11: preppy, masculine

It's little secret that the female dandy - as a quintessential look - is one of my enduring favourites. DSquared2 gives us new inspiration for Spring 2011, creating some effortless masculine looks. Some relaxed suit pants and an unbuttoned shirt; chic chinos with a double-breasted blazer; man-style oxfords worn with socks; and to complete the looks (and complete them they do) some masculine accessories - fob chains, pocket handkerchiefs, a straw Panama. Where the duo's designs entered evening territory the looks were tuxedo-inspired. Black, white, and frankly quite sexy.
