The man. The myth. The legend. The...style icon? You may have learned a technique or two from watching Ron Jeremy through the years, but very few people have realized that the adult film star can also give a few lessons about style. Of course, that could be because you've rarely seen him dressed. Pause.

In between the 2,000+ movies he's starred in, Ron Jeremy has been coming correct in the style arena. From his early days as a young stud partying with rock stars to the current "cuddly-stuffed-animal-meets-sex-addict" look he somehow pulls off, it's time to take style notes from the most successful adult film star of all time. Don't worry, it's all SFW. Here are 10 Style Tips You Can Learn From Ron Jeremy.

Don't be afraid to rock different shades of the same color.

Ron Jeremy has huge balls. We know this because he rocked a red leather jacket à la Michael Jackson over a mauve T-shirt. Layering tones like that only works if you have the massive cajones to pull it off with aplomb. And then he partied with Axl Rose, probably the ballsiest move of all.

If you're going to "have a look," commit early.

Ron Jeremy knew he was going to incorporate a perviness into his steez well before he made it in the biz. In 1971 he had the hair and the 'stache that showed how dedicated he was to his signature look.

Bold, baroque patterned shirts are a necessary item for any party animal.

Ron Jeremy knows the value of getting trippy, mane. A big, loud shirt is perfect for partying amongst the characters that are sure to turn up and get turnt up at any ratchet party. Because when has standing out in a crowd ever been a bad thing?

Your chances of pulling off an advanced outfit are better when you roll with a stylish crew.

On its own, you might question Ron Jeremy's gear in this photo. The cowboy look is a tough one to pull off. But when he's rolling with a similarly dressed Gary Coleman and an incredibly patriotic Chewbacca, they're transformed into one of the most stylish (and rag-tag) crews out there.

Animals make good accessories.

Nothing will get ladies more excited than a stylish outfit finished off with an exotic animal. It's why Mike Tyson had a tiger in the '90s, Michael Jackson had a chimpanzee named Bubbles, and Justin Bieber has a monkey. They all learned from Ron Jeremy, who was nicknamed the Hedgehog but was known for his pet cock.

Floral shirts aren't just for vacations.

By now, you should know that floral clothing isn't strictly for a vacay by the beach. At this point, florals can be rocked year-round, and Ron Jeremy is fully on board this fact. At this rate, he'll have more floral shirts than AVN awards.

A casually undone tuxedo will make you look like a post-coitus James Bond.

Or like a classy adult film star who's ready to unwind with some Ron de Jeremy rum. The point is, wearing a tuxedo with an undone tie will lead to sex.

If you rock an open shirt, make sure your body hair is tamed.

With a shirt flying this wide open, you better have the wilderness underneath in check. Too little and you come off as a prepubescent seal-boy; too much and people will mistake you for a Latvian used car salesman. RJ hows how to hit the sweet spot, as usual.

A printed shirt under a blazer will set you apart from other suits.

In a world of suits, it's easy to get lost in the mix. And if you blend into the background, it doesn't matter if you have the "talents" of Ron Jeremy—no one's going to notice you. But throw on a printed shirt underneath your boring old blazer and all of sudden you're the most interestingly dressed dude in the room.

Invest in a quality leather jacket.

Ever since Marlon Brando rocked one in the '50s The Ramonesmade it their uniform in the '70s, a leather jacket is a necessary piece in any stylish dude's wardrobe. Ron Jeremy rocked one in the '80s, and look what it did for him!
