Bond in a Suit Means Bond in Control

When Bond wears a suit and other stylish clothes, it does not mean that he is on duty. He does not need to be on duty to be stylish—a person who only dresses up because they have to is not a stylish person. Bond doesn’t just dress well for his job, he dresses well himself.

by Matt Spaiser

James Bond usually has excellent taste in ties. They rarely have bold patterns, and they’re frequently solid with no pattern at all. The colours are usually subdued, frequently in navy, black or grey. Bond sometimes wears red ties, but they’re balanced with the suits he wears with them. His ties are typically versatile and easy […] The post James Bond’s (00)7 Worst Ties appeared first on Bond Suits ..read more

Does James Bond Wear Logos?
The Suits of James Bond
by Matt Spaiser
1M ago
On screen, Bond’s clothes usually lack branding, which is consistent with how infrequently Ian Fleming writes about the brands that James Bond wears. Logos on clothes on screen can be distracting to the character, offering a focal point other than the character’s face, and the logo will compete with the ‘007’ brand. While logos are […] The post Does James Bond Wear Logos? appeared first on Bond Suits ..read more

James Bond is introduced to the audience in the first Bond film Dr. No via a wrist adorned with cufflinks. Cufflinks are not a significant part of Sean Connery’s Bond wardrobe—he almost always wears shirts with cocktail cuffs rather than double cuffs. Out of Connery’s six EON Productions Bond films, the character only wears cufflinks […] The post James Bond’s Cufflinks: Sean Connery appeared first on Bond Suits ..read more
