  It’s been just over 12 years since David Fincher’s bright and cheery Christmas movie The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo hit theaters. The film wasn’t exactly a box office smash when it was first released. However, as we discussed in this article, Daniel Craig’s wardrobe as disgraced Swedish journalist Mikael Blomkvist definitely struck a chord with fans. And while some of the looks haven’t aged particularly well (vests and thin lapeled blazers aren’t exactly the height of fashion right now), one piece of outerwear has stood the test of time: his grey puffer jacket.

  With the holiday season fast approaching, I decided to focus this Modern Style Icon post on a look that’s all about relaxing at home. And the comfortable combination of cardigan, sweater and jeans that Daniel Craig wore for the 2017 Vodafone commerical was a great example of how to kick back on the couch without letting your style slip too much. “Are you wearing sweatpants?! You better not be wearing sweatpants!!!” Thanks to some great detective work by Instagram accounts What’s Daniel Wearing and LegallyBond, we know that Craig’s cardigan was the Rag & Bone Standard Issue ‘Ave ..read more

  Now that we’ve taken a look at some great 007 inspired single breasted overcoats, it’s time to shift our focus to another formal outerwear style that’s popular with our favorite MI6 secret agent. We are of course talking about the James Bond double breasted overcoat. Bond hands over his most prized position: the key to the closet holding his overcoat collection. As with the single breasted overcoat, Bond has worn a variety of double breasted styles throughout the series. In this post, we’re going to be looking at six of them, with alternatives for each. We’ll start first with the navy c ..read more

Welcome to our Christmas Wish List for 2022! Throughout the year, our focus is usually on sharing the great affordable alternatives we’ve found for style icon inspired outerwear, knitwear, shirts and footwear. And many of our discoveries would make excellent gifts. But for our Christmas Wish List we’re going to mix things up a little and turn our attention to some of the non-clothing goodies we’d be happy to find under the tree (although we still snuck in a few jacket and sweaters). The only rule: the gift can’t cost more than $200. Luckily, there’re plenty of excellent options that fall well ..read more

The James Bond Navy Overcoat

  When the cold weather strikes, James Bond consistently turns to one type of outerwear to help keep him warm without sacrificing any of his style: the overcoat. Navy seems to be his color of choice, although black is also high on the list. As for the fabric, he expects nothing but best: luxurious wool or cashmere (or a blend of both). Bond has worn a variety of long wool coats throughout the franchise. Single breasted, double breasted, great coats, bridge coats, car coats. They’ve all made an appearance. And the design details and cuts have also varied from film to film. Some coats will ..read more

  You’re probably getting tired of me saying this. But it’s a message worth repeating: my friends, longer coats are very much back in style! The question then is what type of longer coat should you get? As far as colors go, the classic navys, greys and charcoals are popular, as they always will be. And single breasted designs still seem to be dominating the menswear landscape. However, we’re also seeing the rapid return of the more dramatic double breasted, peaked lapel models. The selection of fabrics is also quickly expanding. Beautiful knotty tweeds, multi-hued Donegals, and rich earth ..read more

  Alright, folks! This is one of those “you gotta have one” posts. A black, long sleeve polo-collar sweater is as much a part of the classic “spy look” as the black turtleneck. And it’s something our favorite secret agent knew well. Sean Connery’s James Bond wore a version twice in Thunderball. First when he was snooping around Shrublands (with the sleeves pushed up high on the arms). Sean Connery as Bond in Thunderball. And next when he went snooping around Palmyra and, after dealing with the sharks and henchmen, had a chance encounter with Fiona Volpe in her bathtub. Sean Connery as Bon ..read more

All Hail the Classic White T Shirt!

When it comes to summer men’s fashion, I think most of us can agree that the last couple of seasons have been all about the knit short sleeve shirt. Whether it was a polo or a button front, it seemed to be everywhere, its dramatic colors and bold patterns a clear callback to the retro casual style of Mad Men and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Then on June 23rd of this year, something interesting happened: The Bear premiered on FX on Hulu. And we all suddenly remembered how awesome a classic white t-shirt can be.

  The classic knitwear we all know and love. The Quantum of Solace black shawl collar cardigan that James Bond wore with his sand colored Levi’s STA-Prest jeans and Church’s Ryder III suede chukkas during his visit to Mathis’s villa became a “must have” from the first moment it appeared onscreen. Clearly inspired by Steve McQueen’s style, the fact that many guys still want one fourteen years after the film’s premiere is clear evidence of the cardigan’s timeless appeal. Daniel Craig as James Bond in Quantum of Solace, easily flexing some cool and classy fall style. Bond’s Quantum of Solace ..read more
