James Bond needs no introduction. Piquing suspense levels aside, the legendary British spy’s suave fashion identity has stood the test of time. From tailored tuxedos to eye-catching accouterments, Bond almost always channels major debonnaire energy. If you’re anything like us, you’d love to incorporate a style lesson (or two) from agent 007. So, here are five:

1. Master The Art Of Tailoring

With at least a million ‘how-to-wear-a-suit-like-Bond’ style pieces on the internet, it goes without saying that the stylish spy’s well-tailored suits (and ways of styling them) are worthy of mention. Whether it’s a classic black tuxedo, tropical wool suit, or a grey three-piece suit, Bond shows how a well-tailored suit can be the best investment in a gentleman’s wardrobe. Invest in a suit that fits well, pay attention to the trouser length, suit trouser adjusters, and its fittings around the shoulders and waist. Remember, a great suit will leave you feeling confident and elevates your overall appearance, without overshadowing your personality. Speaking of which, one of our favorites is Roger Moore’s Chesterfield from Live and Let Die. 

2. Invest In Timeless Accoutrements

Bond’s attention to detail extends beyond his clothing, and his choice of accouterments is proof. A classic timepiece is a staple in Bond’s arsenal and so are adds-ons like pocket squares, elegant cufflinks, or a sleek tie clip, which can add a touch of elegance to your outfit.

3. Suave Outerwear For The Win

Bond’s adventures take him across the globe, often in extreme weather conditions. Yet, he always manages to look effortlessly stylish. Follow suit by investing in luxurious outerwear that combines functionality with fashion. A tailored overcoat or a leather jacket adds an element of sophistication to your attire.

4. Shield Your Gaze With Iconic Eyewear

Remember Daniel Craig in Casino Royale? Clad in a grey linen suit, Bond showcases his inimitable fashion prowess in the Bahamas. The Persol 2244 sunglasses in the elegant shade of 834/33 can spruce up a look in a jiffy, and there’s a lesson right there: a good pair of shades can change the game. Consider iconic styles like aviators or wayfarers, as they effortlessly elevate your style quotient and are versatile. Choose sunglasses that flatter your face shape and opt for high-quality lenses that offer both protection and visual appeal. 

5. Perfect The Art Of Casual Chic 

To ace a casual chic look, combine tailored trousers with a well-fitted polo shirt or pair a crisp white shirt with dark jeans and a tailored blazer. Balance your outfit with stylish yet comfortable footwear, such as loafers or Chelsea boots. The key is to strike the perfect balance between a relaxed and refined vibe. Last but not least, nothing supersedes confidence. So, remember to feel food in your own skin to own any look.
