Ladies and Gentlemen?
1. A Gentleman is not a gentleman if he is easily offended. A good sense of humour is the most stylish accessory a man can have.

2. A Gentleman must not be afraid to try new things. He must never be biased against shape or size or fit until he tries it.

3. A gentleman carries the bare necessities in his wallet and should only carry a man-bag purely for function and never as a fashion statement.

4. A gentleman always uses foot deodorant when going sockless. He only wears slip-ons on a yachy in the Bahamas, or any exotic equivalent. No exceptions.

5. A gentleman should own at least one navy blazer, or a black one if he’s the leader of the mob or the triad.

6. A gentleman must have exquisite taste and an easy sophistication. He must never wear accessories that outshines his female companion’s. HE IS NOT A HIP-HOP STAR!

7. A gentleman always sits, stands and sleeps so that his clothes - yes even his PJs - are never rumpled.

8. A gentleman who wears a tie bar knows that it sits just below the second button of the shirt body, which is technically the third button from the top.

9. A gentleman should always wear an undershirt. In a brawl to protect a lady’s good name or in defence of his country, he may choose to remove his shirt first to protect it.

10. A gentleman exercises and eats a balanced diet. He fits his clothes but never starves or deprives himself.

11. A gentleman’s shirt sleeves and trouser cuts are always to the right length. He must never look like he’s wearing borrowed clothes or hand-me-downs.

12. A gentleman always wears proper underwear. Boxers or briefs, he never chooses anything too big or too small. A jockstrap is permissible only for cricketeers.

13. A gentleman never looks down on anyone who can’t afford to dress as well as he.

14. A gentleman should have no shame at owning six identical white shirts.

15. A gentleman should be well versed in knotting his tie. As a side note, it would come as no surprise for him to be able to disarm a raving terrorist lady-attacker with ease. The wrist action for both is similar.

16. A gentleman should know how to sew and replace any buttons in his garment.

17. A gentleman always makes sure his belt goes through every loop even if he’s born with hand-eye coordination problems. The only time he can be excused is if his mother calls him while he is belting up.

18. A gentleman always has a simple haircut, regardless of length. he never succumbs to radical hair styles; those are for trendy boys.

19. A gentleman always ensures his shoe laces never come undone. Velcro is not a solution.

20. A gentleman never kisses and tells. Dishing dirt is not his forte.
