Velvet is back in style for fall and winter fashions, for men and women, and as the weather cools down a bit, it actually becomes more appropriate to wear the stuff. The Dolce & Gabbana Men's Velvet Jacket is a good example of how the plush fabric can look hip and be incredibly versatile at the same time. The well-cut jacket is could be appropriate for office wear and then transition to an evening out with just a simple change of shirt underneath. Opt for a more conservative white shirt to make this office-worthy, but both button-downs and tees can work under the blazer in the evening. Price: $1,475.

Dolce & Gabbana always has appealing names for their bags, like Miss Lover, Miss Really Hot and the New Miss Perfect Bag. This bag is from the designer's fall lineup and is still on preorder. It is made of pebbled black leather and has an open top with a flap closure. All the hardware, including the buckle that adorns the front of the bag, is gold-tone and the lining is DG's signature leopard print silk. The double straps are long enough, with a 9 1/2" drop, to loop over your shoulder, leaving your hands free for other things. It measures 13"H X 20"L X 6"W. Price: $1,150.

Dolce & Gabbana is vamping up its fall line with the release of their Miss Lover Two-Tone Flap handbag. Unlike other Miss Lover incarnations, this bag has a few new details that make it exceptional, like a perforated edge that gives it a slightly edgy look and a gold chain shoulder strap, with a leather braid woven through it. The bag is made of leather in two colors, brown and dark bordeaux/maroon, with tonal top-stitching that maintains the sultry look of the bag. It has a slightly gathered shape that helps the bag look worn in. The bag can be coordinated with most dark-colored outfits, but if you dress to match the spirit of the bag, you'll probably end up with a few more looks throughout the evening. Price: $1,395.
