Bondiana – a style lookbook for elegant and strong-minded men

Excellent physical shape, a tough expression on a clean-shaven face, emphasized elegant and toned appearance, exquisite accessories, luxury sports cars, as well as an irreplaceable companion, he is the best bodyguard, – the Walther pistol. This is how you can characterize the image of James Bond. But this movie hero has long gone beyond the script, becoming an expensive and very profitable brand.

James Bond is not just an easily recognizable style of clothing, but a primarily expensive brand

Today, agent 007 does not dress up as the “brainchild” of costume designers, but wears full-fledged products of leading designers from the best fashion houses. Tom Ford, Crockett & Jones, OMEGA, Aston Martin, Turnbull & Asser, Acne, Adidas … The list goes on and on, as the films about the successful agent in the service of Her Majesty and in love stories have been filmed for over 50 years. The number of people wishing to “light up” their products in an ultra-popular and profitable franchise is growing every year. The brands change each other on the screen, but the image of James Bond remains perfect. However, like his wardrobe, it is always elegant, courageous, tastefully selected, helping an agent in any life situations.

James Bond style: how has 007's wardrobe changed?

The history of Bondiana in cinema is more than 50 years old. Of course, during this time, certain changes took place in the wardrobe of agent 007. This evolution can be easily traced in the photo. Here are the most interesting of them.

Sean Connery

This actor is rightfully considered the best of the James Bond. He wore suits precisely fitted by Anthony Sinclair, shirts from the legendary house Turnbull & Asser, Rolex watches, rode a luxurious Aston Martin. But that's not the point. The image he created has always been distinguished by an ideal appearance, accentuated by masculinity, possessed subtle charisma and boundless charm. And clothes and accessories only organically complemented the style of James Bond. See for yourself!

George Lazenby

His story as James Bond was short, but the image he created was remembered by the audience. With Lazenby's arrival, 007 began wearing Dimi Major jackets and Frank Foster shirts. But James Bond still exudes unsurpassed masculinity and accentuated elegance. Perhaps it is in the blood of the super agents?

Roger Moore

This actor, together with his personal dresser, was able to enhance the masculine features of Bond's image by adding safari and military clothing to the wardrobe. Fitted jackets were replaced by more comfortable and spacious sports models, as well as jackets with patch pockets. Among the smart gadgets, he was surrounded by a pager watch from Seiko and a unique Lotus Espirit car capable of transformation.

Timothy Dalton

He did not stay in the role of Bond for long, only two films. But it was with his arrival that the reference of the traditional, rather strict wardrobe took place. The excessive formality of the suits was diluted with muted and pastel colors, which are relevant for casual-style: blue, gray, brown, green. Obviously, they decided to improve the style of James Bond with the help of some of the fashionable “chips”.

Pierce Brosnan

In the form of agent 007, this actor wears costumes from the legendary Savile Row and from the equally famous Italian brand Brioni. As for the ties, they are provided by Turnbull & Asser. What a really stellar fashion cocktail! No wonder the films with Pierce Brosnan's participation have brought huge commercial success.

Daniel Craig

This guy wears equally masculine and trendy Tom suits Ford, sometimes swapping them out for more practical Ted Baker linen trousers. We've also added casual clothes. Otherwise, the style of James Bondane has changed especially: again, strict shirts, however, already complete with narrow ties (you cannot ignore fashion!).

Shoes from Crockett & Jones deserve special attention. Bond is happy to wear both comfortable monks and formal shoes, more suitable for the restrained style of agent 007, brogue or oxford shoes.

Secrets of 'cool' style from James Bond

Choose great quality items

Do not save money if it is obvious that this is a beautifully tailored item made of exquisite fabric. A man's impeccable style and cheap looking clothes are incompatible! Look at agent 007 – most often he chooses a suit, but which one? Only excellent quality! Believe me, the result is worth it, as it will give you confidence and make you insanely attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex.

James Bond style implies the presence of excellent quality clothing in the image

Fitting is required!

Look at this ideal of masculine style – all clothes fit Bond like a glove on a hand. Agent 007 has a lot to learn. Be sure to try on things before buying, each of them should give the impression that they are made to order especially for you. This is the only way the expensive and impeccable style of a man is born!

Even color plays an important role

For a secret agent, even the details matter. Therefore, Bond so carefully selects the colors of his clothes. You won't see him in black, unless the legendary 007 agent is planning to attend a formal evening event or a Royale-level casino. And there James Bond does not deny himself the pleasure of appearing in a white tuxedo.

James Bond formal outfit – white tuxedo and black pants

During the day, Bond prefers less strict and discreet colors (mostly gray or all shades of blue). These can be shirts and two-piece suits, matched to eye color, less often three-pieces. A great option for business and casual wardrobes! But the super-agent categorically rejects lurid clothes and bright accessories. Being a super agent requires restraint even in such small things.

During the day, James Bond prefers fitted suits other than black.

Don't follow fashion, create it!

Bond's image has changed over the 50 years of his life as an invincible agent on the silver screen. And in each of the films, he was dressed with a needle, and also damn attractive. Of course, fashion also influenced his wardrobe. So, in the latest films with the participation of Daniel Craig, Bond wears exclusively suits with a slightly cropped and tight-fitting jacket. Formal shirts effectively accentuate his curves. He also does not bypass solid-colored cardigans, jumpers, coats, tight-fitting T-shirts, turtlenecks, polos, as well as slightly tapered trousers. This is a tribute to fashion!

Today James Bond wears fitted shirts and jackets, paired with slightly tapered trousers.

But his look doesn't consist solely of the trends of the season. Bond remains timeless, as he tries not to change his image – a style unique in masculinity and elegance. After all, the entire wardrobe of agent 007 is carefully thought out, verified to the smallest detail, effectively emphasizing the masculinity of the image, the physical strength and character of the hero. This is how an easily recognizable individual style is born that cannot be forgotten!

Details make the look memorable

When dressing for work, a date, a walk, a special occasion, do not forget about accessories. Neglecting them can play a trick on you. Yes Yes! After all, it is the details that make the image original, effective and attractive. Thanks to these accents, your image will be easily remembered by others.

What should you choose? Let's try to borrow some win-win ideas from agent 007. He prefers leather gloves that fit perfectly on his hand, as in the films 'Skyfall Coordinates', 'Specter'. The cuffs of formal Bond shirts are usually decorated with elaborate cufflinks. The superhero wears only OMEGA watches, choosing models for a specific event (party or extreme situation). As for the belt, he matches it with the shoes. But there are situations when Bond gladly replaces the belt with solid suspenders.

James Bond always pays great attention in his image to accessories, for example, wristwatches.

The restrained style of James Bond requires a minimum of such details. And the accessories are always carefully chosen to complement the other components of the manly bow.

VARIETY OF ACCESSORIES FOR MEN classic as well as the original design and excellent quality – cuff links, belts, pins collar, headpiece, tie clips, bracelet, boutonniere, wallets, suspenders, SOCKS, scarves, travel bags and many others – are waiting for you in ONLINE STORE BOWANDTIE.

Physical form

Clothes can be matched to any type of figure, but only the perfect physical shape will make you truly confident, tough guy. Think about what you would like to do? There are a lot of options – tennis, fitness, workout, golf, swimming or something else. The main thing is not to let yourself go, but to constantly monitor your physical form. Then a fitted shirt will fit perfectly, and you will not look plump in skinny trousers. However, this is a purely personal matter!

Finally

Let me summarize. The James Bond style remains a role model. In recent years, his image has strongly departed from the traditional, strict classic suit towards more laconic casual solutions. This affected not only the styles, but also the colors of the clothes. The muted as well as pastel shades are now favorites.

It doesn't take a lot of hard work to look confident, overly cool, but at the same time emphatically stylish guy a la James Bond. It is enough to purchase:

• A strict suit of colors in harmony with the type of appearance. The main emphasis on the silhouette that emphasizes the perfectly folded figure. Moreover, all things should look expensive and be sewn with high quality. It is optimal if the suit will correspond to fashion trends, but restraint of the style is required.
• Shoes for all occasions.
• Exquisite accessories.
• Status and smart gadgets. Car including. Judging by the image of James Bond, the ideal model would be one that matches the color of your suit or eyes.

Choose clothes that are most comfortable for you. This is the only way you can charm those around you with your unshakable self-confidence. A couple of other important ingredients for success are a clean-shaven face and a perfectly styled hairstyle.
