Tom Ford's Standard's: 5 Ways to be a Gentleman

tom ford another

Sitting down with Jefferson Hack, Editor-in-Chief of Another magazine, Ford
has given his five-step how to as follows:


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.


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.


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.


Don't be pretentious or racist or sexist or judge people by their
background.


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.
