Dressiquete - Sometimes, Always, Never
Tom Ford says, "keep your jacket buttoned. Always. It's just really flattering" and Tom Ford is right, because even though Tom Ford puts on his pants one leg at a time like the rest of us, when his pants are on, he's Tom Ford. So now that we know our jackets should always be buttoned, … Continue reading Dressiquete - Sometimes, Always, Never
