How to Dress Old Money Like James Bond 

You got the Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton images the wrong way around.

I think Connery is the most interestingly tailored in this sense - remember that he's a bodybuilder underneath, and then look and realise how understated his suits and evening dress are.

Daniel Craig's suits were so tight there's no way he could have done those action scenes for real without ripping something

Great, insightful video... Thanx.

Thanks, quality video 📸💯

6:08 A white t-shirt and a tie? AI is confused 😂

Ah ha. The old wooly pully. 20 years in the USMC, retired and I still have a few wooly pully's in one of my sea bags. Too bad they no longer fit. The green wooly pully.is very fashionable.

Birds of the West Indies by James Bond

Love this video. I had a Black commando sweater when I was in middle school. I loved it. I would sometimes wear it even in summer because I thought it looked so good. I live in FL. 😂

I know that voice, Mr. Audit the Audit

Awesome vid. This lends credence to my direction toward fashion, which is on par with the bond look. I’d like to know the type and brand of driving gloves that bond (Craig) is using in some of the shows.

Thanks !!

Bond always blended in with the time of Day and the Weather. It's a common thing in Espionage it didn't necessarily make him stand out but it made him practically blend in broad daylight. Craig's Bond was one who was learning to get it right and took until Skyfall, I think, to nail it like the other Bonds. Think of the Khaki Suit in No Time To Die and the Weather from that Madera Scene. Sunny day (Khaki 2-Piece) and a clear blue sky (light blue shirt). The Mid Sharkskin Grey would come around a more cloudy setting especially when it is colder. Normally you'd see Khakis paired with the White Shirt like in Diamonds Are Forever when the Weather was Sunny and had some clouds in the sky. Completely Cloudy Day,? Dark Grey. Chance of rain? Royal Navy Blue. The Tuxedos speak for themselves. The Black Tux seems to be a way to blend in or help to hide out of sight (like a Ninja) and the White Dinner Jacket to make him stand out like an Open Target/A Distraction. There are more reasons why Spies tend to dress this way other than blending in broad daylight, however, with Bond especially. You'd often see what he wears similar to what you'd wear in a Wedding/Wedding Party and also a Funeral. Black Suit and Black Tie, which is the common Funeral Attire would often be worn in those scenes where Bond is actually at a Funeral or a to blend in the dark while offing his Target. I guess you can excuse the Wedding Party reason to just being the Bachelor that Bond typically is..."Really, 007!" Though not every Bond film would often nail it due to rather discrepancies in the Script, abiding by continuity, the lighting on the set (can't always get that right all the time) or budget reasons... It happens! Bottom line. there is far more than meets the Eyes (only) when it comes to Bond's Style. Even though it changes with the times, he always blends in with the Time of Day and The Weather! FYI, I know all this because I've read this in some excerpts in Spy Novels including Ian Fleming and it's also IN EVERY BOND FILM IF YOU REALLY PAID ATTENTION! Oh! And the different ties Bond would wear are of Personal Preference. Goes with Bond's Mood, it seems.

His majesty. Now

The man maketh the clothes

Ive always found Brosnans and Timothey Daltons styles the best but for more contemporary options for inexperienced guys the DC can be a good choice

The narrator sounds like creator of the Lackluster channel.

All these things look cool on James Bond because James Bond is cool and has a good body.

Who makes his shirts and the collar style (hidden button down)

Savile row suits are best for James Bond.

That voice over sounds remarkably like the guy in Knight Rider Historians…

The video is great, but there is a bit of misinformation here. Fleming giving 007 a boring name was done in order to contrast it with his amazing style, as the Fleming stories don't depict James in anything particularly stylish. In fact, the suits he wears are often described as being "tattered" or "old". Fleming DID want Bond to be a boring character, but only because he wanted to contrast it with the luxurious, exotic settings and situations he found himself in. He wanted James to be a sort of vessel; the readers shouldn't care about him, and instead focus on his surroundings. This is because the era in which the books were written was a point in time when the British economy was still in the shit after WWII and people couldn't experience the finer things in life, so Fleming's mission was to illustrate a fantastical world where it was all possible. He thought if Bond was too charming or charismatic, the exotic side of the books would suffer. However, later on in the stories, Fleming saw the popularity of Bond's character and made him a little less one-dimensional in the last few stories, particularly in "You Only Live Twice" where there is a heavy emphasis on Bond's malaise and depression after the death of Tracy. Point is, before the films, Bond was not particularly charming or charismatic. He WAS a gentleman, but that was basically a trend anyway.

🥳😍🤩😘😇🥰

7:18 that is not the garage jacket?

Too tight suits and too short jackets will never look good

Great video but in 6:25 you can see that it's a button up and not a t shirt still as I said great vid

There are a lot of silly errors in this video. Its ironic you spend a lot of time talking about how the genre is defined by precision and detail and yet you fail to be detail oriented in your editing and detail

Billy Reid is Not an English fashion house - it’s from Florence, Alabama USA. Silly error.

11:13 he definitley used a stock image of a stoned person for that!

Real old money dresses as it wants. Wear your grandfather’s Savile Row suit and his 1930s gold Rolex. The real literary Bond didn’t care much about fashion and clothes.

Grey trousers?!? Take another look at those 'trousers?'

Why did you call him 'Sir Ian Fleming'? Fleming was never knighted, so he wasn't a 'Sir'.

He wasn't old money in the way it's meant. He was adopted....but old money wouldn't normally mean that.

Only James Bond doesn’t shop H&M nor Shein.

Imo the first thing a man needs to do in order to achieve their version of this is to get in tip top shape....whatever your perfect 10 body is then you need to be able to hold steady at an 8 at all times...i don't care what budget you have for clothes, jewelry, and cars...if your stomach isn't at least flat and you have man boobs you have work to do....let the wardrobe be the cherry on top...you be the cake (myself included)

Daniel Craig's Bond in tight Tom Ford attire and product placement seems anti-Bond

Give it 5 years and he will be wearing a dress.

What's the combined cost of all those featured clothes, footwear and accessory fashion items? Answer: Well out of the reach and domain of normal people who live in the real world. "007" movies exist in fantasy land!!!!!

One main reason why Daniel Craig looks stylish in the photos is because of his physique. That’s why all of the styles worked. So get in the gym and develop the body. You will thank yourself in time.

THIZ VIDEO SHOULD HAZ JUST SAID DANIEL CRAIGZ TAKE ON 007 CLOTHING!! VERY DISAPPOINTED!! - REXX

Too many big words to sound intelligent.

Old money of course alludes to Eastern Establishment and their love for tweed and boring looking clothes, expensive but not flashy shoes such as brogues.

I liked Pierce Brosnan's clothing selections. Sean Connery was obviously 'perfect'. Roger Moore, on the other hand, looked garish and "1970's" trendy as he just played "Roger Moore". He was never credible as James Bond.

Old money? WTAF?

Daniel Craig let down the tradition of Bond being well dressed. His clothing is too tight and is wrinkled and distorted as a result. Nothing sophisticated or elegant about that! And wearing a black suit during the day? Just silly.

Craig not Creg or creag. Please work on your diction.
