“There's no room for complacency in my home,” says . “During the health crisis, when everyone was wearing jogging suits, I started wearing ties again! In fact, you won't find a T-shirt in my wardrobe. Even for an afterwork party, I leave nothing to chance, like this combination of fairly chic trousers and this utility jacket in fawn suede. I love bandanas; I actually have quite an impressive collection.”

"I mix a bright blue suit with a light pink shirt. Historically, pink is not a feminine colour; on the contrary, it's very masculine, in the tradition of red: for a long time, pink was the colour reserved for gentlemen. I don't go out too much to clubs, but I do like going to cocktail bars and this outfit is just right for me, chic and elegant without being too extrovert. Obviously, there's a bandana in a lighter shade of blue."

"My sportswear is the only clothing for which I favour technical materials and practicality over elegance. I love this fluid outfit that doesn't restrict my movements and its dark, sober colours."

"Here, I like to pull out all the stops, with a midnight-blue velvet tuxedo, the highlights of which have shades of green. For a change, I'm wearing a white shirt with tonal stripes. As I'm a dinner jacket wearer, I'm also wearing cufflinks and a green bow tie to match the reflections in the suit. No belt - never made-to-measure - but green braces. On my feet, I play the elegant simplicity card with black patent shoes".

99.99% of my wardrobe is made-to-measure: it's a matter of course for me if I want my clothes to fit perfectly. When my tailor made this suit, he said to me: 'I've made you a wedding suit'. I like the fact that it's very chic, with its double-breasted cuffs and fairly wide lapels. I pair it with a shirt in very fine stripes - also made to measure - and I like the Kent collar. My work outfit has to convey a certain seriousness, but I refuse to be austere. I also play with accessories: here, I've chosen a patterned orange tie and a clutch bag in the same tones".
