Tom Ford’s Five Tips to Being a Modern Gentleman

Earlier we posted Tom Ford’s cover for Another Man magazine. In it the fashion designer reveals his top five tips to being a modern gentleman.

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.

 

He’s so perfect. Sigh.

A Look at Jimmy Choo Men’s Collection

Photos of the highly-anticipated Jimmy Choo men’s collection in its entirety have officially surfaced thanks to the people at Vogue.

“It has always been part of my long term vision for Jimmy Choo as a luxury lifestyle brand to be for both men and women,” Tamara Mellon tells the magazine.

“The collection fuses modern British style with luxurious Italian craftsmanship, a mod aesthetic with a cheeky hint of a Sixties Mayfair playboy,” she describes.

Now what type of man wears Jimmy Choo you ask?

“It is really designed for the man on the arm of the Jimmy Choo woman, following the same theme of going out, whether it be to work, to the shops, to dinner or a club,” Mellon says.

What do you think? We especially love the Hunter x Jimmy Choo boots and sneakers. For more images and information, visit Vogue.

Homme Trendspotting: Shades of Blue

It feels so cliché for us to say this, but for Spring menswear, blue is the new black. Nearly every collection for men featured a blue suit or blazer and some collections were completely based on the color. Celebrities are all ready hopping on the trend with Jake Gyllenhaal being the most notable fan. While it may be hard to pull of an entirely blue suit, opt for incorporating blue versions of staples like blazers and jackets in your wardrobe.

Homme Shoe Report: Hermes Quicker Low-Top Sneakers

These Hermes Quicker Low-Top Sneakers come in a few different color ways and two different material variations. At $830 a pair you have a choice between goatskin suede in the blue, green and burgundy as well as goatskin leather such as the black pair.
