The James Bond Suits That Are Still Stone Cold Killer

The third James Bond film, Goldfinger, had actor Sean Connery draped in an ultra-suave three-piece suit. Simple and elegant, it was made by Anthony Sinclair with a subtle Glen Plaid AKA Glenurquhart pattern in a white contrast. The double-forward pleated trousers and six-button waistcoat neatly complemented Connery’s 6’2 stature. If you’re looking to power dress your way into the back-half of this year, a three-piece might be just the thing for you. Remember, subtle detailing is the key to looking like a real 1960s boss.

James Bond was played by Roger Moore during the 1970s, and he was one of the flyest 007s to ever grace the silver screen, assisted by having his own personal tailor on set. One of his highlights was from Live and Let Die, where Moore rocked a tropical wool suit. Perfectly reflecting styles of that time period, it featured wide lapels and an even wider tie.

If you’re looking to switch up your vibe, then 70s chic is the way to go. Opt for bell-bottom trousers down below, while up top the bigger your lapels the better, and tighter tees are definitely the wave. Steal Moore’s playboy look for the summer and cop yourself a head-to-toe tropical wool suit.

With padded shoulders, a loose fit, and no tie – this is the 80s, baby! In Licence to Kill, actor Timothy Dalton embodied the James Bond character with a wardrobe that offered a snapshot into the late-80s and early-90s style trends. While not the mainstream go-to in 2021, this killer suit looks like something that belongs on the runway of modern-day Balenciaga.

To incorporate this into your wardrobe, you’ll need to find oversized double-pleated trousers, a 90s dad-style blue shirt, and a slightly ill-fitting padded blazer. It screams modern-day thrift store chic!

Menswear fanatics would go nuts every time Pierce Brosnan entered their screen as James Bond, because it seemed like he was always looking suave in head-to-toe Brioni. His cleanest look was from 1999’s The World Is Not Enough, where he rocked a herringbone suit and blue shirt. With no tie, and linen fabric, it was a casual detour for the legendary spy, but was clean and classic nonetheless.

The modern 007, Daniel Craig, hasn’t been a stranger to luxe suiting over his now-five cinematic James Bond releases. And his Tom Ford tuxedo in the latest No Time To Die film has had plenty of fans begging for their chance to bust out a tux. The exact model is the Tom Ford Atticus, and while this isn’t the look you should pull out for the weekly grocery shop, it’s a must-cop for any man planning to attend a wedding or debonair evening event.
