Looking to step up from Dsquared2? These 6 brands share the aesthetic but bring elevated materials, construction and a higher price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
Los Angeles luxury label by Mike Amiri, known for hand-distressed denim, rock-inspired leather and tailoring, and Skel-Top sneakers.
Why it's similar. Hand-distressed skinny jeans, biker leather and rock-styled tailoring, worn the same flashy, rock-star way.
What changes. Los Angeles rock luxury instead of Italian kitsch, with heavier distressing and visible repairs.
German designer's Lugano-based maximalist luxury label known for crystal-studded denim, skull motifs and logo-heavy sneakers shown at spectacle Milan runway shows.
Why it's similar. Crystal-studded and logo-covered denim, skull motifs and loud sneakers, shown with the same Milan runway spectacle.
What changes. Even more maximalist and logo-heavy, with less western Americana and none of the tongue-in-cheek wit.
French luxury house founded in 1945, known for sharp-shouldered tailoring, embellished blazers and monogram knits, now designed by Antonin Tron.
Why it's similar. Embellished biker jeans, sharp-shouldered blazers and monogram knits, pairing flashy denim with sharp tailoring the same way.
What changes. A couture-shouldered Paris step-up where the tailoring weighs as much as the denim.

Why it's similar. Italian logo and distressed denim with body-conscious tailoring and celebrity glamour, the same showy Italian base.
