Daniel Craig - Fox Style

Daniel Craig is best known for his role as James Bond and as it has been confirmed he will star in the new Bond film we thought we would make him our Style Icon of the month and show you how to achieve the classic tuxedo look and more . . .

Classic 007

In Classic Bond style, Daniel Craig oozes timeless elegance in a 2 piece tuxedo and classic white dress shirt and black bow tie.

The Tux 

The tuxedo actually dates back to the 1860's, when Henry Poole & Co (Savile Row's founders), created a short smoking jacket for the then Prince of Wales (Edward VII) to wear to informal dinner parties. In the summer of 1886 the Prince invited New York millionaire James Potter and his actress wife Cora Potter to Sandringham House.  When Potter asked for a dinner dress recommendation, the Prince sent him to his tailors, Henry Poole & Co, to obtain the new style of jacket.  Potter then brought the dinner suit home with him to the Tuxedo Park Club, New York.  The dinner suit proved popular; the club men copied him and the Tuxedo was born!

As so many companies churn out tuxedos that no international man of mystery would ever be caught dead in, it can be hard to find a tuxedo that's in keeping with the rules of good taste.  We stock both ready to wear and made to measure tuxedo's.  Our ready to wear tuxedo's start from £449.00 and are Bladen, a classic British brand.  For a touch of luxury and a unique experience we would recommend a made to measure tuxedo, starting from £550.00.

White Tuxedo Shirt

A tuxedo shirt should be classic cut and a staple in any stylish mans wardrobe.  A black tuxedo and a pure white shirt make a deadly combination, stunning any nemeses or aspiring bond babes coming your way.  Get maximum style mileage out of this shirt by pairing it with jeans and black dress shoes, leaving a couple of buttons undone, for a night of clubbing.  We stock dress shirts from £49.00, and are also available in black and ivory.

Black Bow Tie

To finish the look go for a classic black bow tie.  We would recommend a silk bow tie with a slight sheen to make you stand out at your next glamorous bash, and it's the key to Craig's timelessly elegant look.  Our  bow ties start from just £9.50.

Dressing Like 007

You may not be gambling on world safety against criminal masterminds any time soon, but we guarantee you'll have more than one occasion on which to wear your tuxedo.  Black tie events, ladies nights and prom's can be a great opportunity to be noticed in a chic tux, and owning a tuxedo means you'll never have to turn down an extravagant, fancy dinner invitation for lack of appropriate apparel.

Get this look for as little as £507.50  

WARNING!!  This outfit does not come with Daniels sense of style, piercing blue eyes or assertive personality!!
