Man friend

Pyfling has a mostly fem readership but for the boys that follow

(read: Tom and Yan),

I thought I'd include some man tips for this week's installation

of Style Source.

These tips come from designer Tom Ford

via an article that is, at least, four years old.

Oh the things we find when we're clearing out our inbox.

So, without further ado--

5 things a sexy man needs according to Tom Ford

1. GOOD MANNERS
2. EXPENSIVE SOAP
3. A NEWSPAPER
4. A WELL CUT DARK SUIT
5. A PAIR OF DARK DENIM JEANS

Examples above include: NY Times, Levi's 501 straight leg jeans

, How to Be A Gentleman by John Bridges,

Wool suit by Hugo Boss and finally Kiehls facial fuel.

And finally, I found a great man style blog here

Happy Hunting, handsome friends and thanks for reading!

I find style "advice" in the most unlikely of places. Beyond the obvious (dress manuals and biographies of fashion's most fab), I've found wardrobing wisdom interspersed throughout history books, law journals and even a military field guide. I thought sharing this unlikely wisdom might be a fun new feature for PYFLING.

Lets start with a standard:

Coco Chanel

"A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future."

"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman."

Well Coco, If Commes Des Garcons, Play (The unofficial scent of PYfling) were a dress, I believe it would look like this.

How's that for Impeccable?
