We can't give you one of Bond's cars, we can't give you one of Bond's girls, and we can't give you the international lifestyle of a secret agent, but what we can give you are the crucial foundations - the James Bond image.
In homage to Daniel Craig's highly anticipated return in Spectre, his third film installment as the enigmatic British spy James Bond, we take a look back at some of the best styles by 007.
From luxurious formalities to nitty-gritty action, make sure you do it all in the slick style of Bond himself. Besides, you've got to fake it til you make it.
001
When Bond isn't undercover at an ultra-suave evening event, sweet-talking the ladies and keeping tabs on the bad guys, he's stood on a rooftop, thinking about sweet-talking ladies and keeping tabs on the bad guys. You too can do this, and in the most slick of Bond styles. The key is a premium, high quality and well-fitting woolen coat, such as this piece by Armani Collezioni. Finished with a scarf and a pair of leather gloves (because everyone feels in control in leather gloves) you have yourself an extraordinarily immaculate day-time look.

We all remember this scene. Bond, at Skyfall, with a shot-gun, and that creepy house. What we suggest you cast your mind back to specifically is this Barbour coat. Remember it? Well, we have it at Cruise and if it looks good on Bond it will look good on you. Teamed with a blue Polo Ralph Lauren knit jumper and a sturdy pair of Stone Island jeans this is possibly the easiest of Bond looks to pull off. Except perhaps you should try to scrub up a little before.

004Emulate Bond in his ultimate form in a slick two piece suit by the ever-popular Boss Tailoring. Team this with a contrasting textured tie and a pair of D&G shoes and you have yourself one head-turning ensemble. Unfortunately, we can't offer you the classic Bond car, but when you're strutting around in an outfit like this you won't even need one.

005Not that we mean to shatter the illusion, but Daniel Craig isn't actually James Bond. However, that's not to say that we can't still take style tips from the British actor himself. For the best off-duty look around, opt for a Paul Smith sweatshirt and team it with a crisp, white Polo Ralph Lauren shirt and finish with finest pair of D&G's suede shoes - except this time we suggest you avoid any combat, suede is hard to clean.
