Get the 'Bond look'
Bond is different things to different people. To men, he's the supreme idol, to women, a dream lover. To people of overseas he's a true British gentleman, to people in Britain, a national hero. But there's one thing he is to everyone - a well-groomed devastating figure of a man.
Can you achieve this look? To put it simply, yes, anyone can. And even if you're not blessed with Daniel Craig's good looks, you'll be amazed what a well-tailored suit and a good haircut can do for you.
Groom like Bond
007 elegance starts before you even get dressed. Go take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror. What do you see? A sharp suit? Immaculate hair? An air of understated self-confidence? Probably not. This is what you need before anything else.
The first stop is Truefitt & Hill (www.truefittandhill.co.uk/) gentlemen's barber shop in London; the oldest barber shop in the world, holder of the Royal Warrant and barber to royalty and stars the world over. Here you can have a number of services including a traditional wet shave, haircut and head massage. And while you're in the West End, pop into Floris (www.florislondon.com) perfumery on Jermyn Street to pick up some Floris No. 89 - Floris was mentioned by Bond creator, Ian Fleming in a number of books including Diamonds Are Forever, Dr No and Moonraker.
Dress like Bond
Now it's time to get the clothes, so head to the world-famous department store, Harrods (www.harrods.com). Here you'll find American designer Tom Ford who dressed Daniel Craig for Quantum of Solace - apparently Craig needed to use around 40 bespoke suits during filming. "It really is a crime. It makes me weep every time. They're great suits," Craig told the British press recently. And at Harrods, not only can you acquire the finest of garments, you can hire a personal shopper to do the hard work while you relax with a glass of champagne.
Next, put yourself into Bond's shoes (literally) with a pair of hand-crafted English shoes from Church's (www.church-footwear.com/) shoemakers. Favoured by leading Bond actors over the years, shoes from this store have featured in a number of 007 movies.
Accessorise like Bond
What really separates out the Double 'O' Sevens from the Double 'O' Zeros is how you accessorise. And by accessories we most certainly do not mean jewellery. Think watch. And that's it.
We're not going to lie to you, a respectable secret-agent wrist piece doesn't come cheap. But then neither do the Bond girls. For true 007 elegance it has to be an Omega watch. Take your pick from their exclusive ranges and make sure you keep time Bond style.
