James Bond’s suits throughout the decades
The character of James Bond has gotten quite a few make overs in his time. We imagine that’s what happens when you’re a movie star for almost seven decades.
So we thought it would be rather fun to have a look back through time at all the (handsome) James Bonds that have graced the silver screens since the 1950s, and have a look see at how the bond uniform has changed.
The original gun barrel scene was shot with Bob Simmons in 1962 and used for two years. From there, Sean Connery took Bond by the horns and steered him past the plaid and pleather of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, until Roger Moore had his turn. By now, 007 had a very distinctive look, with a crisp white shirt and an eternally flawless bow tie.
In the late 80s, Timothy Dalton injected some more realism into the agent’s wardrobe with open shirts and light fabrics, until Peirce Brosnan tidied him up a little again in 1995.
We think today’s Bond, Daniel Craig, is making his predecessors proud. Whichever the decade, James Bond remains a suave, sophisticated gentleman with a sense of style to boot.
