I love it :)
:)
A bit similar to the second set of pictures.
:))
I must admit, I actually like Bond's outfit there and think it's one of the more tasteful outfits of Moore's era, as 70s-ish as it looks.
I always felt it was a sort of 'modern' take on the black polo/trouser combo that Connery's Bond used for covert tasks in GF and TB:
It's been copied in Bullitt and to the lesser, Archer
TACTLENECK!
Haha, yes it is basically Steve McQueen's outfit in Bullit, isn't it? As that clip from Archer implies as well, it's probably some of the most impractical clothes for such a mission considering the location Bond is in (the climate's probably too warm for a thick long sleeved turtleneck, and it doesn't exactly camouflage him etc.)
Must say though, perhaps this is controversial, but I think Moore wears it better.
I did like that look: Bond not actually going too far with a jumpsuit and all that silly stuff, just classily going undercover.
There's definitely a sense of 'I found this black polo shirt and trousers in my wardrobe and this will do for the purposes of this'. No need for anything too elaborate, I agree. I don't think Bond needs to have a specific 'covert suit' with boots, pouches, and armour etc. like the one that seems to pop up in the earlier video games.
I mean, why would he? He's a secret agent, and of course the point of such attire in those situations is to draw the least attention to himself. I suspect such a suit would be very cumbersome and heavy anyway.
It depends on the situation. Bond uses a jumpsuit when parachuting onto Gibraltar, and a dark polo shirt and trousers look to infiltrate Whittaker's home. Both looks work for the situation.
Yes, depends upon the situation.
Does he not wear that sort of tactilneck but with a jacket over it during the climax in London?
So something missed, then.
And that angered Piers Morgan 😅
Apparently that was a John Smedley jumper (I have one similar). Craig also wore one in SF.
Sure, there's that too, but he'd also called out that Pink suit.
No, here's the article:

It was a horrid jacket though. Velvet suit jackets need to be darker I find. Rory Kinnear's red one from the same premiere, while not to my taste, was better.
As I recall, Brosnan turned up to one of the premieres (TWINE I think..?) in a weird cravat and morning suit affair, looked like he was going to a wedding/playing an Edwardian time traveller. Very odd.
Yes, here you go:
A bad outfit to accompany a bad Bond film.
Yes, I championed for a haircut like that for years and years. Alas, no.
What a random thing to wear.
There have been some odd fashion choices at some of these Bond premieres. I suppose a part of Brosnan's Dr. Who outfit there or Craig's pink velvet jacket is to separate themselves from Bond in some way. Maybe I'm thinking a bit too much about it though.
What doesn't upset him is the better question.
I think that's absolutely it, they don't want to look like they've in costume as 007. But that Brosnan get-up was awful at the time.
They're all from Carry On Camping, which was shooting at Pinewood Studios in 1969...
