How To Dress Like James Bond

Insider Picks 

The next James Bond movie — “Spectre” — was announced back in December.
The bad news is: the movie won’t be out until the fall of 2015.
But the good news is: you can still get some Bond in your life while you wait.
We’ve put together a style guide based on Daniel Craig’s James Bond: edgier and darker, but still maintaining that smart-elegant vibe.
Whether you want to go full-on Bond, or just add an accessory or two, you’ll find it here.

The Classic Grey James Bond Suit

You just couldn’t have a Bond without a suit. Usually, he’s sports a grey one, ranging from light to charcoal tones. We recommend erring on the darker side — not everyone can pull off a heather grey.
For the shirt and tie — choose a light blue shirt and navy tie. They’re warmer than white and black, respectively, but still convey a serious vibe.

Grey Suit

Investment: Burberry London grey slim-fit wool suit —  $US1,395
Deal: Salvatore Exte Men’s two button charcoal grey suit — $US449.00 $US95.86 to $US109.86 

Light-Blue Button Down

Investement: Brioni blue striped cotton shirt  —  £310 ($US482)
Deal: Bloomingdale’s Houndstooth Check Dress Shirt  —  $US449.00 $US49.77

The Omega “Seamaster” Watch

For almost two decades Bond’s been wearing the Omega “Seamaster watch,” which you can get yourself as well. Or you can find yourself a better deal on a lookalike.
Investement: The Omega “Seamaster” 300 Chrono Diver watch  —  $US3,640
Deal: SO&CO “Monticello” stainless steel watch  —  $US325.00 $US43.99

Leather Jacket

But sometimes, Bond is running around in a more casual look, typically rocking a leather jacket. (Which is pretty much the cool-guy staple.)
We recommend combining 2014′s biggest trend in menswear with the classic James Bond style staple by getting yourself a leather bomber jacket. It’s pretty much a win-win.
Investement: Schott slim-fit leather jacket  —  £775 £387.49 ($US1206 $US603)
Deal: Navy A-1 Leather Flight Bomber Jacket  —  $US299.99 $US149.99

Tuxedo Bow Tie

Arguably the best scene in Casino Royale is the whole poker sequence. Scratch that — there’s no debate. If you ever find yourself invited to a black (or white tie) setting like this high-stakes poker game, you better have that real bow tie ready.
Investement: Turnbull & Asser Silk Bow Tie  —  £55 ($US86)
Deal: Silk Bow Tie  —  $US15.99 $US9.50

A Martini Glass 

And of course, James Bond’s martini. Have a couple of glasses on hand so that you, too, can prepare a strong cocktail. Especially if you’d like to impress a date.
Investement: Luigi Bormioli martini glasses (set of 4)  —  $US37.00
Deal: Libbey martini glasses (set of 4)  —  $US39.99 $US17.01
