Following on from my Everyone thinks Tom Ford is cool (even Jesus) Blog, I thought I’d highlight this fashion powerhouse, film mogul and old romantic’s top 5 tips on how to become a modern gentleman.
Gents, Take heed – Perfect New Year Resolutions follow...
Tip 1.
You should put on the best version of yourself when you go out in the world because that is a show of respect to the other people around you.
Tip 2.
A gentleman today has to work. People who do not work are so boring and are usually bored. You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.
Tip 3.
Manners are very important and actually knowing when things are appropriate. I always open doors for women, I carry their coat, I make sure that they're walking on the inside of the street. Stand up when people arrive at and leave the dinner table.
Tip 4.
Don't be pretentious or racist or sexist or judge people by their background.
And my personal favourite...
Point 5.
A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.
Too true Mr Ford, too true!
And there you have it, the top 5 Gentleman Tips from the suavest gent of them all – Tom Ford, I solute you!
