"There is nothing sexier and more attractive than confidence" - Tom Ford

[@knflux9840]

Johanna90 Right, but all it takes is the right mindset and practice.

[@JohnDoe-bm5lp]

Practice it like a muscle

[@bestlifestyle1013]

Johanna90 no one is born with confidence, it is learned. We are not born telling the world we will claim it, that it is ours to conquer. We learn words. We learn our potential. Then, we learn that we can choose which path we wish to follow. By doing so, we become confident, but only when we learn to not hesitate. Instead, we must focus on suppressing our fear, and letting the mind with which we have crafted and trained over the years to guide us to that which we desire. That is the true essence of confidence, some just learn faster than others.

I own and wear a black suit. I wore it to our wedding. Now it is in the dry cleaner's clear bag, and I told the wife when I die, bury me in it. But she should sell the Rolex or wear it. (*_*) In general, the black suit is great for wedding and funeral.

[@melkadyo]

totally agree. i own a black tux and a black business suit. i only wear them during formal occasions (my wedding and church stuff). but not to an everyday business. If I were tom ford yeah i can wear a black suit because it is my look. much like steve job or zuckerberg.

[@dustywaxhead]

Agreed. Navy is simply more colorful, versatile, and just as formal as black in 99% of situations. Charcoal, dark grays work great too. Tom Ford seems to approach colors with a very minimalist style of black and white, but plenty of other great colors for a gentlemans wardrobe

[@muradtalibov2616]

i can’t understand you people getting surprised. black suit is very common in my country for example

[@ek7404]

Murad Talibov In the States (and the UK if i can remember correctly) a black suit is almost always reserved for funerals. Like the previous commenters said, navy, charcoal grey, or mid grey are fantastic everyday suit colors.

[@theblondebomber]

No woman, particularly not any professional stylist, would ever tell a man he needs more than 1-2 sprays of cologne. Love Tom Ford but ultimately the dude’s a huckster. His ability to combine subtle and shameless is what created a successful brand in a cut throat world. But here he just looks shameless. It would be ok if he laughed out loud and said, “What are you, an idiot? Of course you shouldn’t repeatedly spay yourself with cologne throughout the day and then try to mix different fragrances on top of what you just applied an hour ago.” But he knows his profit margin on fragrances is among the best in his business - so why not double down and buy that fifth Manhattan penthouse? When you’re worth millions you know billions could be within reach.

[@Deantrey]

Just a thought but I know that Tom Ford's Private Blend collection of fragrances are made to blend with each other. So maybe he was thinking of his own when he said it? Probably not and probably you are right but always like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
