Tom Ford shared his insights regarding suits, patterns, jewelry, Botox, earwax, and more but one thing stood out for me.

There’s one indulgence every man should try in his lifetime: If you’re straight, sleep with a man at least once, and if you’re gay, don’t 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-f**K of stereotypes. In the end, it’s just another person that you are relating to in a physical way.

Um, yes, Tom Ford said that. Well, according to DETAILS anyway and I don’t see any reason why the magazine would print something like that otherwise.

There is definitely one thing Tom Ford is not, and that’s boring. Read Tom Ford’s 10 Rules Of Style at DETAILS.

2. Style is a question of charm, not nationality. It’s not true that French men have more allure or style than American men. It’s just that they dress with more personality. They don’t follow dress codes, and sometimes they mix things in a way they shouldn’t. Like how Serge Gainsbourg dressed, with his reptile shoes with jeans and blazer and white shirt—that’s charm.

4. In relationships, you must show proof of love and do something passionate. I once had a boyfriend fly from New York to Paris just to have dinner with me. It was very smart. (*With airfare costs these days, you might want find other alternatives )

6. You should have one watch for the weekend, one for the week, one for suits, one for sport. I love watches. Watches are for men what perfume is for women. They are very personal, and you can wear them according to your mood. (*Ehhhh, I’d suggest sunglasses instead, heh. )

8. Men make a mistake when they follow fashion instead of their own personality or their own body. When they dress in a very slim shape even if they don’t have the right body, it’s all wrong. It’s awful. With my husband, I tell him, ‘Stay yourself and I’ll take care of you.’ He’s the most spoiled man in Paris. (*Amen, Amen, Amen. I’m happy to say my husband knows his stuff with my help of course . )
