Never forget that the Bond character is above all a military/Naval officer. His aesthetic is characteristic of a military man, posture, fit consistent with military tailoring and off duty wear

[@endy7432]

absolutely right, and that is most of all reflected in the novels with his rather utilitarian style

[@terrydrums]

Here’s a thought: Bond may be wearing a belt with a 3-piece because he’s carrying a gun. If he’s using an ITW holster, he has to wear a belt. He has used a shoulder holster quite often, but this could be a detail that justifies the use of a belt.

[@campkira]

let face it he only look good since he had a team in background to keep him look good while reality he just going look like bodyguard walking around...

[@RogerOThornhill]

In the best Bond suits he wears neither a belt nor suspenders. The pants are just so well tailored they stay up on their own.

[@Minuteman4Jesus]

I concur! An IWB holster requires a belt. A lot of people who don't work with firearms are unfamiliar with the need for secure placement while wearing a pistol. A holster shouldn't flop around at all, both for reasons of concealment and for speed & ease of draw. This detail may not be apparent in movies.

[@Cybrludite]

Concur your analysis. You pretty much need a good belt if you're strapped.

[@enjoyingthecrisis5931]

Pretty much why I wear a belt with a vest. I carry under my suit, and I just can't get a Miami Classic shoulder holster to behave with a slim fit suit and a full sized 1911.

[@FlyingTigersKMT]

One thing to note is that Bond started wearing Rolex due to it being functional. A robust diving watch for an ex-Navy spy is a good fit, after all. Nowadays it is product placement, but the category of watch is the same.

[@seikibrian8641]

Yep. Ian Fleming had Bond wearing a Rolex, but Omega paid big bucks for product placement so the more-recent films have him wearing Omegas rather than Rolexes.

[@phillipmoodie9071]

@@seikibrian8641 They really needed the market exposure, because up until 1970 Omega had been the market leader for about half a century. In the late 1980s my late wife was responsible for a group of about 130 Jewelry shops, the largest group in Australia. When she gave me a gold Omega Seamaster for my 50th birthday she said that Omega had a very special pricing deal for all of the shops staff nationwide, because those people had a massive grass roots influence on general market sales. She said that the CEO of Omega told her that they were reviving their presence at shop staff level in preparation for a massive global advertising campaign. The product placement in the Bond movies flowed from that campaign, that included Australia, which because of its global success in a wide range of sports, had always been an important market for Omega.

For me the classiest and most elegant James Bond was Sean Connery, specially when he wears that awesome grey three piece suit in Goldfinger, and the most stylish one was Roger Moore, I don’t care what anyone says but Roger Moore was the most stylish man in the 1970s

[@lenocman2]

Finally some is giving the late Roger Moore the praise and credit he truly deserves. Severely underated, even in his role as The Saint.

[@chet6286]

A lot of Moore’s looks hold up way better than say Robert Redford or some other 70s movie star

The 1970s always gets a lot of hate. I love the look although I realize some of its wardrobe can be a bit crazy.

I’m changing my closet little by little into suits and shirts 👌🏼 easy for the brain less worries and is a respectful style

[@G1NZOU]

I think also with things like his choice of sports watch and a simplified colour palette, it would also make sense for someone like Bond who's travelling a lot (or for someone taking style tips maybe someone who's travelling a lot for business) to have much less to pack, so a couple of suits and shirt combos which all complement each other and not having an entire watch box to take with him is an advantage for just packing for perhaps carry on baggage. Ideally you wouldn't want to wear a sport watch with the more formal end, but if your plan for the evening potentially involves diving off an exploding boat then something with 200m or more water resistance is going to effect your choice.

[@williamkingston2632]

I wholeheartedly agree with the rule that embrace the suit for the way it makes you feel and how you're perceived and respected. As a news reporter, for flexibility, I usually wear a shirt and tie (I know, not the best, but works in my profession), but I am seen to be more respected than my counterparts who show up in bad ruffled polos and jeans and bad sneakers/boots. I have also had the comment before, "you're the only guy I know that shows up to a house fire in a shirt and tie." Ha ha. The other thing I notice is when I wear suit/shirt/tie, I get the comment "What's the occasion?" I say "it's a weekday." ;)

[@Themanfuhreal]

I agree and get the same comments. People don’t realize that yea it’s a big change but you feel, look and nail the successful man look.

[@Andrew-cm5tc]

In the old Bond movies, the character often wore a Rolex. I think there is a deal with Omega watches so he has to wear that now.

[@yippykiyay89]

Correct. He also wore a Rolex in the novel's and one day Rolex didn't want to be in James Bond movies as they didn't want an assassin wearing their brand, so they went over to Omega instead

[@phillipmoodie9071]

@Andrew Johnson. At the time Ian Fleming wrote the first Bond novels, the premium watch to own was an Omega Seamaster. Fleming always dressed a little different to his colleagues, so he mirrored that style in his novels. I turned 21 five years before the first Bond book and my parents gave me the Omega Seamaster, because it was commonly known as the best watch. Phil.

[@SirMopy]

yippykiyay89 wrong. Omega just payed more

[@MrDanielWP]

Connery loved Grenadine silk ties (in gray, navy, or black) and 2-button single-breasted jackets. And, he used Saville Row tailors for many outfits. Roger Moore favored double-breasted and bolder ties. Obviously, Moore had huge collars, lapels, and ties. Brosnan favored double-breasted jackets, especially in gray. The roomy fit was very late 90s. Everything being Brioni, he and Connery are widely considered the best dressed. Craig wore tight fitting Tom Fords, frequently. He wore very normal gray, navy, and black frequently.

Twice you showed a clip from the movie Skyfall and said that Bond sometimes wears a down jacket. That was not a down jacket. That was a Barbour waxed cotton jacket.

[@phillipmoodie9071]

@Ron Pruitt. The Barbour jacket was also loved by motorbike enthusiasts. But I preferred very solid leather coat style jackets, because they didn't shred if you parted company with the bike and went sliding down the road. But a leather motorcycle coat of that quality was twice the price of a Barbour, and in winter it was twice as warm. Phil.

[@TheEldarGuy]

I'm surprised the shirt you're wearing doesn't have the Bond cuff (French cuff with buttons) as seen in the early Bond films with Connery and Lazenby. Up until the last Connery bond, James wore bespoke suits, which needs to be able to hide the shoulder holster for the Walther PPk (considered a ladies' pistol: meaning it's smaller, lighter and perfect for close action). His particular holster is under the armpit and behind the ribs ( not in the FBI style of side piece where the handle creates a bulge near the chest) so the suit jacket needs to be cut in order to conceal it but drape well to appear natural. I like how it's a video of Bond styling rather than another "Who wore it best" video (Lazenby hands down by the way). You guys never disappoint. Thanks for sharing.

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

The belt was probably an accident, but it is an absolute necessity for someone carrying weapons and fighting. I’m former military, former law enforcement, and have carried a gun, extra magazines, a flashlight and a knife with me nearly all day, every day, since I turned 21. I wouldn’t be able to carry those tools, nor fight effectively, if I didn’t wear a sturdy belt with my three piece suits. Moreover, the vest is great for covering up concealed weapons without printing (showing the outline of the weapon through the clothing).

[@thetrumpnewsnetwork7503]

Before I retired (RCR) I'd make it a habit to wear a black suit with either a red shirt and black tie, or a black shirt and red tie. It was my way of showing my dominance over the other brokers/traders and it worked like a charm. People would refer to me as the guy who looked like the devil. And not for nothing that getup was a prize winner when chasing (or rather being chased) by women in bars. I think my experience coincides with some of what you're saying here.

[@Minuteman4Jesus]

This may be an American notion, and possibly "not correct", but while I absolutely love classic menswear, Sven hit on something about *functional* menswear that I believe can take you out of a suit without necessarily placing you into a too-casual jeans & polo, or causing you to sacrifice style. For me and my military background that spells *tactical menswear* like the 5.11 brand. These aren't camouflage fatigues, but subdued or natural tones with a military cut to the trousers very like what police and paramedics wear on-duty now. Tactical trousers typically feature very durable fabrics, more than 4 pockets, heavy duty belt loops that help support a tactical nylon operator's belt with a "cobra buckle". These trousers may come in navy, black, light gray, charcoal, dark brown, khaki tan, coyote brown, and olive or forest green. You can either wear these with a polo shirt for a more toned-down, civilian vibe or you can wear them with a tactical duty shirt which also emulates a police or paramedic uniform shirt with pleated pockets with button-down flaps, and crisp perma-creased wash-and-wear blended performance fabrics that along with the trousers create a strong sense of professionalism, ruggedness, and strength. For men with a decent physique, it conveys the "man of action" aura that most men appreciate, and turns women's eyes. This type of clothing is perfectly suited for active and outdoor lifestyles, and may be worn with virtually any kind of footwear. It's far from suit and tie, but I believe that this style allows you to look great and still get things done without having to worry about ripping a seam or getting a tear. In short, it's everything a man needs when your work or leisure are not compatible with a suit.

Nice video! Revisiting it to resfresh my memory before watching the new "Bond Looks" video that's been posted. I gotta say I really love the 5:38 green suit with blue waistcoat and orange bowtie combination as a fall outfit! Bit too colorful for Bond as you say but something that would fit my style very well. Thanks for the video Sven!

Would love to see a video where you critique/react to menswear in popular movies or tv shows (e.g. Suits)

Harja7, that is correct. That is the navy short sleeve cotton Riviera polo from Sunspel, $135.00 US. If you get it in sea island Cotton it is $285.00 US.
