Chains and [biker jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-x-fox-lab) are in no shortage with the DSquared2 Resort 2013 collection. The unapologetic badass vibe is a refreshing change from the typical [breezy resort collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection).

The lookbook is a vibrant mix of bright pinks and eye-catching yellows paired with structured monochromatic attires. Strappy metallic sandals, oversized anchor earrings and seafaring caps add an unexpected nautical aesthetic to the series. There is also a number of preppy schoolgirl jackets that bring a rebellious academic look to the mix. Gold chains have not only been layered as necklaces, but also integrated onto hats, jackets trims and used as waist-cinching belts.

The lookbook has been styled and shot against a gritty backdrop complete with an old school pay phone. The DSquared2 Resort 2013 collection is an eclectic mix of clashing alter egos that is edgy and fierce.
