Style: Get The Look – Daniel Craig
The name’s Bond, James Bond, whether an adequate replacement to those who stood before him or not, we think it’s fair to say that despite being a blonde, Daniel Craig took on the challenge well. There is no denying that whoever has played Bond has walked off set with some Bond-esqe qualities for themselves, from sex appeal to manliness and, of course, morphing into an icon of style. Daniel Craig, is no exception. We take a look at a few of his favourite styles and give you the 411 on how to recreate a few of the said looks. ,
BLACK TIE, , If there’s one thing Mr Craig knows how to do well, it’s black tie – and quite right too, as Mr Bond will have taught him. Not content with the usual black, Craig hits a sartorial home run in this stunning midnight blue number, and number 1 Savile Row have just the perfect alternative., £795 from gievesandhawkes.com
SMART SUIT, , As Craig is somewhat less svelte than last week’s style icon (Ryan Gosling), this open grey suit with open shirt is a great look for a stockier build of man. Try Thom Sweeney at Mr Porter for a similarly smart fit., £1,295 from Thom Sweeney at mrporter.com
OFF DUTY, , Any actor can look good on the red carpet or on camera – that’s what stylists are for – so it’s this kind of effortless off duty style that shows us how deserving Craig is of a style icon status. It doesn’t get much better than this paired down look of grey jeans, plain white t-shirt and effortless cool navy bomber jacket. This alternative from Kilgour hits all the right notes., £895, Kilgour at mrporter.com
