James Bond has been a fashion icon and all-round sex symbol for over 60 years now. Ever since Sean Connery stepped out in his impeccable suit in the 1962 film Dr No, James Bond has been a figure men want to be and women want to be with.
Of course, the world has changed a lot since Bond was first introduced to the cinema screens. The vast majority of men do not wear suits on a regular basis, but this gives an opportunity for fashionable men that do to stand out.
Your Suit Should Never be Too Tight
If there’s only one thing to remember from this article then let it be this: do not choose to buy/wear a suit which is too tight for you. There are so many guys out there who seem to think that a suit should be tight in order to show off their muscles. Think of people like Andrew Tate who supposedly have loads of money but they cannot even find a suit which fits them properly!
On the other hand, suits should not be loose fitting for the opposite reasons. In order to find the best fitting suit, you will need to buy a tailored suit. However, it is possible to buy ‘off the peg’ and still find a fantastic fitting suit. If you are much shorter or much bigger than average, it will be more difficult for you to buy off the peg, so be aware.
A classic black jacket is good for any occasion, but you can mix it up with grey if you feel like it. Black trousers and black shoes also combine to make the classic look. The most important aspect here is that the suit fits you. It shouldn’t be uncomfortable to wear, and please make sure that you are able to button your jacket (button one on a two button jacket and two on a three button jacket).
Your Shirt: Keep it Simple
There are lots of different styles of shirt and this is an important aspect of your whole look. A dress shirt is what you are looking for and as to the colour: stick with a white shirt please. All of the Bond’s kept it simple with their choice of shirt – white with buttons. Pierce Brosnan mixed it up a little with studs instead of buttons.
I would also recommend long sleeved shirts because they look much smarter and if it gets too hot, you can take off your jacket and roll up your shirt sleeves for a very sexy appeal.
Your Shoes: Keep on Keeping it Simple
Your shoes allow you to bring a little character to your suit, but make sure you follow these three points: Smart, black and leather. Never forget to keep them polished and shining too. The thing about shoes is that a bad pair (or an unclean pair) will completely ruin your whole outfit. Uk shoes manufacturer Crockett and Jones have supplied multiple shoes to the James Bond franchise including in the latest film, No Time To Die, if you are interested. They are located in Northampton.
Wear A Tie, A Watch and Don’t Forget your Pocket Square
It is your choice here whether you would prefer to wear a regular tie or to opt for a bow-tie. If you plan on taking a trip to a casino in the same style as James Bond, then we can suggest a simple and slim bow tie like the one Sean Connery wore in Dr No. If a bow-tie isn’t quite to your style, then try a slim tie which will look elegant with any suit. Again, pick a black tie please.
When it comes to a watch, you really can’t go wrong here. Of course, Bond wears the highest quality watches available. Most recently he has worn Omega models, but 007 has also been known to wear Rolex models as well as Breitling watches.
If your jacket has a pocket, then you of course need to wear a pocket square. The pocket square usually does allow you to show some colour and character, but if you are in doubt then just keep it simple with a white pocket square in what is called a presidential fold.
Let’s not forget socks. Just wear long, black socks. The reason you need to wear long ones is so that none of your skin is showing when you are sitting down or when you cross your legs.
Although it’s unlikely you will ever be as cool or suave as James Bond (who really can?). Our tips should get you ahead of plenty of others out there. Overall, the perfect casino appearance is not difficult to achieve, as long as you keep it simple. Don’t forget, the better you dress, the more confident you will feel and this confidence will influence your life for the better. It’s one big reason for dressing your best at the casino, so that you can increase your chances of winning big. Popular online games with bonuses are always available to be won and don’t be surprised if the luckiest player is also the best dressed player.
