Super designer Tom Ford has some ideas about being a
gentleman in today’s world.
From his amazing designs of men’s wear and his
black book of celebrities and who knows who else; Tom Ford certainly knows his
shit and when he talks; we listen.
Being a gentleman is something so many males these days know
little if nothing about. Well Tom Ford certainly know’s what to do and how to
present oneself as a gentleman. Born in Austin, Texas, Tom Ford has
revolutionized the fashion and film world through his directing, clothing and
shoes, lookbooks, eyewear and interest in provocative imagery.
Ford gives the public five rules to live by if one wants to
be a modern gentleman in the 21st century. Emphasizing ideals such as respect,
an open mind and hard work, Ford promotes becoming the best person one can be.
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.
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.
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.
4. Don’t be pretentious or racist or sexist or judge people
by their background.
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.
