The 2009 dandy is ready for his entrance

This week's D&G FW09 must-have focuses on the jacket. The indispensible addition to your wardrobe has been refined in rich brocade and printed velvet. Simply throw on and ensure an instant fix of elegance.

If walking into a room with the prescence of a Hollywood actor is the dream and your surname isn't Pitt, then you may need a helping hand.

If there's one item next season that can give you the modern-day nonchalent look worn by the A-list, it's a D&G FW09 jacket.

Sleek velvets and printed brocades in rich colours such as burnt orange, burgundy red, navy blue and black offer an array of luxurious options that can be dressed up or down with jeans.

Opt for a Chuck Bass style look for the evening complete with brocade bow-tie.

Taking it's inspiration from the English aristocracy and Oscar Wilde's dandy style - the jackets offer the perfect entry to a hedonist lifestyle without the need for a trust fund...
