I though Craig looked great in SF. Particularly the light grey cloth. Reminded me of early Connery.
That said the lapels in this latest shot are a trifle large for my taste.
I get that vibe as well. Mostly the color combo though I think.
In terms of collars, PL seems Bondian in a rigid way.
Also, I'm keen on the tight fit. Nice way to show physique. Suits that seem too big seem to make Bond look too large, and generally look old fashioned IMO.
Craig really looks like a Hitman in this outfit, which looks cool and sexy.
I think the tight fit very much suits Craig. The style now makes Bond almost look like a homeless person in a suit in Casino Royale. LOL.
@Pierce2Daniel
I don't agree. A good suit can look pretty elegant, interesting and swanky. People's idea of what is smart and interesting looking these days is laughable.
I haven't either, but there was a picture of him wearing a chauffeur cap and sunglasses. I assumed he was impersonating a chauffeur for a scene. Not in spoiler tags since that's just a guess on my part based on the pictures.
I assume you mean this scene from Skyfall:
Your two cents is worth a dollar @bondjames.
You are on the money. IVNSHO (In Villiers53's Not So Humble Opinion) this looks to be Tom Ford again and he's come up with a miss match of styling faux pas - peak lapels, oversized straight pocket flaps with ticket pocket, collar pin, garish pocket square all bundled up in an ill fitting package that makes our hero look like he is trying way too hard.
And double monk strap boots with a suit - for God's sake, who came up with that one?
Frankly this is disappointing in the extreme.
The only thing that really bugs me about his attire here is the peak lapels. I've never been a fan of the look.
this!
Maybe there are "fashion rules" against this or that, but I tend to agree with @matt007 and @Germanlady - who cares what people declare to be the thing to do or not to do? Isn't creativity all about finding new ways? I would think that a professional costume designer and a high-end label designer know what they are doing. This is the look they want, and personally I think @doubleoego is right: it's a perfect look for a sexy hitman (or funeral guest).
This is much more important than "fashion rules" - Bond should have no connection with fashion but should personify completely the understated STYLE of an international English gentleman and I don't subscribe at all to the view that a supposed professional costume designer working with a seller of over priced mass merchandise have the monopoly on taste. These pictures would prove otherwise.
Just google "Bill Nighy wearing blue suit" and hopefully you will see the understated taste of a true Brit!
This made me laugh. I pictured John Humphrys on Mastermind (A pretty straight-laced British quiz for those who don't know it) asking the contestant, 'Occupation?', 'Sexy Hitman and professional funeral guest'.
The suit on the other hand has a few more obvious flaws.
The jacket is too short for a two buttons suit. That length would've only worked with a double-breasted suit like the one he wore on the photocall. The trousers are also a little short, revealing too much of the boot.
The overall style looks good, but the tailoring seems a little off, surprisingly for a Bond film.
Fingers crossed for Temime...!
Like it or don't like it; either way...
