Tom Ford's 10 rules of Style.
From

Number 10 is a doozy.
1.
I dont believe in playing around much with suit cuts. I like a fairly classic shape that gives a man strong shoulders, a fitted waist, and long legs. Classic simplicity always works.
2.
Someone who is secure enough to be very present when relating to another person is sexy. In other words, a good listener always lands who he wants.
3.
When mixing patterns, dont think about it too muchjust throw it together.
4.
I hate the trend of short suit jackets. When a mans butt is showing below the bottom of his jacket, I think it makes him look like a female flight attendant from the backnot my idea of sexy.
5.
With jewelry, I actually like bracelets more than anything else, but they have to be small and simple. Cary Grant always wore a simple gold bracelet with his watch, and I think that was very chic.
6.
If youre careful not to overuse Botox, then yes, why shouldnt you use it? A little bit of it between the brows can make you look less stern and more approachable. Who needs to frown, anyway?
7.
Just like girls need to learn to be comfortable in heels before they go out in them for the first time, a man should try wearing a suit throughout a normal day. I do most things in a suitand sometimes even in a tuxedoand so Im really comfortable in one.
8.
When it comes to grooming, keep earwax out of the ears and keep stray hairs and flakes of skin in check and you should be good to go. In the morning, I put ice cubes on my eyes and use lots of Visine.
9.
Time and silence are the most luxurious things today.
10.
Theres one indulgence every man should try in his lifetime: If youre straight, sleep with a man at least once, and if youre gay, dont go through life without sleeping with a woman. Either way, you might be surprised at how natural it will feel if you can get past the mind-
