Plenty don't
Now, is he the only one wearing clothes in the movie? Because there are other characters too. I think now with the trailer out and all these pics, we can/should discuss them too.
Previous era.
Why Bond Girls Are Totally Going To Kick Ass In ‘SPECTRE’
And other mind-blowing secrets we learned on the set of the upcoming Bond flick.
Bond girls get a bad wrap for their lack of substance. Usually, they’re pretty stock characters who add relatively little to the story. But “SPECTRE” is changing the nature of that relationship for the better. Bond will finally have equal companions by his side, according to costume designer Jany Temime.
“Twenty years ago, every Bond girl was dressed up very sexy, and they all wore evening dresses and you could see their boobs,” she told MTV News. “Now, a Bond girl has to be much more sophisticated, she has to be clever, she has to be intelligent, she has to have a job, and so she has to have costumes that are much more adaptable.”
Temime’s inspiration for Léa Seydoux’s character Madeleine Swann was Grace Kelly. “I wanted something very simple. Expensively simple, yet strong,” she said.

Why so? Not arguing, just curious.
Does a number aesthetically by breaking up the vertical image, plus it causes bunched up trousers because you have to cinch them up. Braces let you wear a nice fitting waist size.
I'm just kidding about the hanging part, but I'm opposed to it from both a visual and comfort perspective.
I wonder if the question of cuffed pants has changed in the Bond movies over the years?
I agree that belts on suits should be avoided but unless you want to look like Charlie Chaplin, avoid the braces/suspenders and go for side fasteners - the real Bond solution!
Doubtless Bulgari will be knocking them out for the shrunken shiny suit brigade. Probably with a nose version for "Irma la not so douce" if she rocks up to support Blofeld.
Couldn't agree more, Villiers. I think Craig's tenure has been nothing more than a bunch of popular brands foisted upon the man but without any thought as to what Bond should be wearing and why. I like the clothes that he wears in general, but he doesn't wear them naturally per se. Something about his wardrobe seem contrived or out of place.
And yes, I have come round to the fact that his suits just don't fit. One can tell in the candid photos moreso than from on film.
All that said, I like the turtle neck comeback! Anyone know what the outer jacket Bond is wearing in the Mr. White scenes is?
Of course, but Bond in his operative clothes wears grey/black, Hinx wears black, the people at the meeting all wear black... A nice nod to FRWL me think.
This is actually a societal issues these days bigger than even Bond.
The problem with this is that Craig is a very sloppy dresser in 'real life', so if he has a major input into wardrobe then it's not neccesarily a good thing.
Absolutely. It's bemusing to observe what people in general believe constitutes style.
From what I've seen, I'm afraid I have to agree with this last statement, sadly, despite my respect for the man and his undoubted acting capabilities.
As for the women; I think costume design has been lacking since Craig's era.
Kurylenko and Arterton's wardrobes were unglamorous and every other Bongirl has been subjected to either tacky satin prom-gowns or the complete housewife look.
I haven't seen anything striking in the promotional stills or trailer for Spectre but we'll see. It's odd because Jany Temime has done wonderful work for so many others films.
It seems like he's wearing a Janker (a traditional Austrian jacket), with a shirt and tie.
A nod to the mao suit?
I don't know, I thought it was a simple black suit. I like the idea of a Janker, if he is wearing it: not quite the Mao suit, but not very common, so it gives Oberhauser (and Blofeld, if he is indeed Blofeld) a distinctive piece of clothing that sets him aside. it is elegant in an old fashioned way and thus anachronistic.
