1.
A lot of fashion houses design for the catwalk and not the street—then you see the clothes on a regular guy and it's a mess. Don't disguise your personality behind labels; impose it on the clothes.

The most embarrassing thing a man can own is a disposable razor. They're for women. And speaking of grooming, there's nothing less flattering than shaved legs.

Wearing a pair of high-tops with a suit deconstructs the look, and that's important. I like the way high-tops and pants act together. It's like the effect of rolled-up sleeves for your trousers. Just make sure the socks match your sneakers, not the pants. If you like black high-tops, wear black socks. White, white.

I don't really think I know a man who wouldn't look good in black. Black is always good. It's the basic.

You can wear a white shirt to work, to dinner, to visit the grandmother, to the opera, on vacation, at the beach. It's the true get-away-with-anything item.

Kris Van Assche was born in Belgium, lives in Paris, and spends his extra time in Argentina and Brazil, where he not only vacations but casts his runway shows. He suggests that when in Paris you take afternoon tea at Mariage Frères, peruse rare titles at the Comptoir de l'Image bookstore, and shop for high-tops at Zoum. And if you ever hit Carnival in Buenos Aires, check out his favorite club—Cocoliche.
