Men's fashion will be in style for women according to the DSquared2 Spring/Summer 2011 line. Nude bathing suits and a couple low-cut dresses aside, the collection includes a diverse selection of business and leisure ensembles including high-waisted pressed slacks and shorts and tuxedo jackets.
The DSquared2 Spring/Summer 2011 collection is a debonaire example of how mens fashions can be effectively made quite feminine. Oxford shoes, bow ties and fedoras have never looked as good as this.
