“Details” magazine has the ever resonating advice of Donatella Versace. The Italian fashion queen makes suggestions on how to “look gorgeous” at all times. She lends her experience in the form of rules with gems like…”scent is very important” and “there are more rules in America than in Europe.”

1. The three biggest fashion mistakes are cheap suits, shoes, and shirts. Spend your money on something good.

2. Some men look great unshaven; others just look like they forgot to shave. Beards and mustaches can be really distinctive if you go for an earthy, rock-and-roll look like the Kings of Leon or the Killers.

3. I just designed the livery for a Lamborghini and I’m told this machine is a real object of male desire. But true luxury is about the best of everything. Don’t cut back on the little things–great coffee, a good novel, a wonderful aftershave.

4. For luggage, I use big Versace suitcases. I always overpack, but my advice to men is to pack a capsule wardrobe: a few suits, a pair of casual trousers, and then tops and accessories for changes–ties, belts, watches, shoes.

5. In my opinion, men who have great style include Lou Reed (downtown-New York chic), Jude Law (London chic), Alain Delon (French chic), Marcello Mastroianni (Italian chic), Rupert Everett (English-public-school chic), and Kanye West (modern, cool chic).

6. When buying a gift for your wife, do your research. Find out what she wants by subtle interrogation, or ask her friends.
