00:00 007 Favorite James Bond Looks Introduction
Since 1962, with the debut of Dr. No in cinemas, James Bond has gained the reputation of being one of the most stylish spies to ever grace the silver screen, and today, we’ll share our favorite looks from the iconic and dapper 007.
Simply saying his name evokes the image of a suave tuxedo and a smoking gun. Indeed, donning this signature outfit is a rite of passage for any actor who gets to portray the British secret agent. Just like us, Bond gets to enjoy his fair share of Black Tie outfits.
Of course, throughout the many decades of the James Bond franchise, the character and the actors who portray him have been subject to the changes in fashion.

The fencing gear is actually rather elegant as far as fencing gear goes. Apparently it was custom made by a London gearmaker for the movie. My fencing jacket has a button closure with a red/white split, I'm actually quite fond of it.

In college, I fenced using the schools gear and jacket. Since I was on the varsity team, I got to take the jacket home with me for convenience. Another gender commented on how well fitted was my jacket. Our coach let him know that I took in the sides and back. Those fencing uniforms had to have been custom or at least altered for them to fit so well.

I have some cases of that in my fencing club and I would agree. Personally, I went with a kaftan in a mainly maroon colour with a deep blue at the edges and the same blue colour for the leggings. I consider swapping out the blue leggings for some maroon coloured ones or perhaps a split as you mention.

I think the underlying point is. it looks great and serves a purpose whilst fencing, just like the fireproof racing overalls in F1 racing, but they don't look that great on a night out on the town.

My Top 5 1. Tux, all the Bond's do the Tux justice, but my favourite is the White dinner jacket worn by Connery. 2. Skyfall Scotland attire, especially the Barbour Wax Jacket, Scarf and Crockett & Jones boots 3. GoldenEye, The casual attire while racing the Ferrari in his DB5, Chinos, Blue N.Peal cablenit jumper, Blue Turnbull&Asser shirt with the Cravat just about peeking through. 4. Skyfall, Shanghai attire, the PeaCoat in particular, but I'd easily wear the entire outfit. 5. GoldFinger, Golf attire, The Dark Red Slazenger V-Neck Jumper with off white shirt, Brown Golf Kilties shoes don't think the hat would suit me though, suites Sean Connery well and thats what counts.

In the first movie Dr. No, Sean Connery briefly wears this one classic yet beautiful outfit. It's quite simply a navy sport coat, white shirt and navy tie, with charcoal pants and black shoes. He's in Jamaica but the outfit actually looks like wool, and he just wears it so well, of course.

Just as a correction, Moore's clothes in Live and Let Die were made by his (earlier) tailor Cyril Castle (who tailored Moore for The Man with The Golden Gun as well).

Y'know, I heard something very interesting last night while reading about Bond style. It seems that Cary Grant was under consideration by Ian Fleming to play the role of James Bond, since he didn't approve of Sean Connery at first. I wonder how that would've gone over...

@EK_Beast Жыл бұрын

Just watch North by North West, and a few of the other Cary Grant films. I feel like they actually heavily express what Bond would have been like with him. I thinks he would have been okay, nothing like Connery and perhaps a bit too subtle and American. But he’d do some okay action and have some amazing line deliveries in his own way.

I think Timothy Dalton really pulled off both leather jacket and aviators 1980s style and classical James Bond suits of Sean Connery era.

This was BY FAR the best Kyle video on the channel. No mention of urban streetwear, no trying to convince others that jeans, T-Shirts, and sneakers are "classic" menswear. Just good honest information about the classic menswear styles of one of the screens top iconic characters. Well done Kyle. (And Sean Connery is my favorite Bond).

@themoderndandy713 2 жыл бұрын

I think trainers and tees and jeans hold a place in classic menswear, it's just that they're traditionally regulated to the most informal of occasions. Trainers are worn for tennis or other sports, tees are worn to the beach or around the house, and jeans are worn for manual labor or other very casual events. All of these garments were around by the 30's. Technicalities aside, I generally don't watch Kyle's videos for that reason. There's also the fact he tends to wear not-quite-fitting suits which are too tight and slim-lapeled. I like the diverse perspective from Raphael and Preston, both being traditionalists, but his advice and styling definitely isn't for me.
