Picking up where its menswear collection left off, the Dsquared2 Spring/Summer 2016 collection is a line of unique beach-friendly looks.
Inspired by Hawaiian surfers yet again, the Caten brothers breathed an eccentric sense of surfer style into the Dsquared2 Spring/Summer 2016 collection. The color palette -- including pink, green, yellow and orange -- adorns mini neoprene dresses, flowing chiffon skirts, sporty vests and sporty sheath dresses. Athleisure is mixed with red carpet glam in the form of sporty mini dresses that are paired with long detachable chiffon skirts and tattooed bodysuits.
Dean and Dan are able to successfully juxtapose scuba suits and swimwear with the brand's signature pieces like tailored blazers that are appropriate year-round.
