Dsquared2 Resort 2027 Menswear

Reported by Vogue.

Dean and Dan Caten have always known how to work a contradiction, and for Resort 2027, they leaned into that instinct hard. The starting point was the Italian summer — sun-drenched, cinematic, inherently stylish — but the Catens are Canadian, and that outside perspective is exactly what keeps Dsquared2 from ever feeling too precious about its own references. The result is a collection built on productive tension: tailoring that carries a cowboy attitude, elegance that refuses to behave.

According to Vogue, the men's lineup opened on a note of unapologetic glamour — tuxedos, silk pajamas, denim smothered in transparent sequins — before pivoting to louche gray and beige suiting that gently mocked the archetype of Italian male elegance with its own irony. The hybrid construction was the point, not the punchline: shirts designed with what appeared to be a second piece tied at the shoulder, trenches sliced through with denim inserts, track jacket elements grafted onto tailored silhouettes. A brighter, sportier section folded in a vintage American prep sensibility alongside Paninari codes — a bold, logo-obsessed Italian youth subculture from the 1980s that deserves more credit than it gets.

Where the Women's Pieces Got Interesting

Denim remains the house's backbone, and this season it showed up at its most considered: women's jeans with strategic rips that exposed bouclé linings underneath — destructed on the surface, luxurious at the core. Skirts constructed from MA-1 bomber components, tight black blazers with denim cuff details offering a double-fastening option, and fine knitwear in collegiate bold stripes all kept the hybridization running through the womenswear without it feeling like a formula. Lace-trimmed silk skirts paired with sleeveless tops printed with ironic Italian phrases — Il sole bacia i belli, "the sun kisses the beautiful ones" — landed somewhere between flirtatious and self-aware.

The accessories sealed the mood entirely. The newly launched Roxy Bag arrives covered in multiple belts, doing the most in the best possible way. Sandals on "Cosmo heels" — stems modeled after cocktail glasses — are exactly as fun as they sound, and baseball-cap-fastening-inspired mules confirm that the Catens are incapable of leaving well enough alone, thankfully.

Dsquared2 has never been interested in restraint for its own sake, and Resort 2027 makes the case that knowing exactly who you are — and committing to it fully — is its own kind of sophistication.
