Renowned as a style icon, James Bond has been the most fashionable man on the silver screen for the last 60 years. 007 attire choices are always a hit, be it smart casual, he is always the best dressed man in the room. Here a few of the best outfits he has showcased:
Safari-style Bond
First seen in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me, Sir Roger Moore pulls off this tan colour suit with ease. Rumoured to have been made by Gucci, the jacket has fantastic breast and hip pockets, the perfect place for a secret agent to hide his weapon of choice.
To top off an iconic look, Bond supports a pair of suede brown moccasins with a slight heel, making Moore the trendiest 007 of them all.
Cashmere Bond
Although many regard Pierce Bronson’s films as the weakest out of all the Bonds, there is no denying is a suave specimen. In his final outing as 007 in Die Another Day, the setting is an ice hotel in the Arctic Circle – the perfect place for James to bring his own style. The turtle-neck cashmere jumper provides not only warmth, but an après-ski touch of class.

The original Bond Sean Connery wears this number in the ever popular Goldfinger as he visits the title characters horse racing track. Its besom pockets and breast pocket make it an iconic Savile Row number.
Sandown Hat Bond
