How To Dress Like James Bond
RexThe next James Bond movie - "Spectre" - was announced back in December.
The bad news is: the movie won't be out until the fall of 2015.
But the good news is: you can still get some Bond in your life while you wait.
We've put together a style guide based on Daniel Craig's James Bond: edgier and darker, but still maintaining that smart-elegant vibe.
Whether you want to go full-on Bond, or just add an accessory or two, you'll find it here.
The Classic Gray James Bond Suit

You just couldn't have a Bond without a suit. Usually, he's sports a gray one, ranging from light to charcoal tones. We recommend erring on the darker side - not everyone can pull off a heather gray.
For the shirt and tie - choose a light blue shirt and navy tie. They're warmer than white and black, respectively, but still convey a serious vibe.
Gray Suit
Investment: Burberry London grey slim-fit wool suit - $1,395
Deal: Salvatore Exte Men's two button charcoal gray suit - $449.00 $95.86 to $109.86
Light-Blue Button Down

The Omega "Seamaster" Watch
For almost two decades Bond's been wearing the Omega "Seamaster watch," which you can get yourself as well. Or you can find yourself a better deal on a lookalike.
Investement: The Omega "Seamaster" 300 Chrono Diver watch - $3,640
Deal: SO&CO "Monticello" stainless steel watch - $325.00 $43.99
Leather Jacket
But sometimes, Bond is running around in a more casual look, typically rocking a leather jacket. (Which is pretty much the cool-guy staple.)
We recommend combining 2014's biggest trend in menswear with the classic James Bond style staple by getting yourself a leather bomber jacket. It's pretty much a win-win.
Investement: Schott slim-fit leather jacket - £775 £387.49 ($1206 $603)
Deal: Navy A-1 Leather Flight Bomber Jacket - $299.99 $149.99
