Whether or not you’re a fan of the whole James Bond thing – you have to admit he has some style. 007 is always immaculately turned out and dressed to thrill the ladies – appropriate to the situation. The latest Bond offering, “Spectre” is no different; the hero battles against the eponymous international crime organisation, Spectre, without a hair out of place.
He’s immaculately groomed at all times and never loses his cool. And whilst all this is the stuff of fiction, it’s not a bad style to try and emulate to good effect. In fact, this is exactly what Leonardo DiCaprio playing Frank Abagnale Jr. managed in the fact-based “Catch Me If You Can” movie. He more or less “became” James Bond about his whole look – and it worked.
But how can the rest of us try to emulate the super spy’s charm and debonair approach to life?
Casino cool
Almost every Bond film finds James in a casino, ordering a dry martini with an olive, shaken not stirred, and then playing his chosen game. So, firstly, you’ll have to understand how to play casino games without losing your cool – or ever showing any excitement. This is easy – go online, take advantage of the best intro offers you can find, and try out a few different games. Bond seems to prefer baccarat and roulette, so try out sites like Skyvegas, 32Red, Mr Smith casino and others. Most good sites will give you clear instructions and let you play in virtual mode only until you understand the process. They’ll also give you some bonus cash. So at 32Red, for example, anyone registering to play 32Red casino games gets around triple their initial cash deposited as a free bonus.
This gives you the scope to learn the ropes and it’s exactly like the real thing, so it’s easy to replicate in a real casino should you decide to.
Stick to the suit
In deciding what to wear in the cool cars or casinos you’re heading to – stick to the suit but make sure it’s the best one your money can stretch to, then look after it. Most men look great in a great suit, and it’s appropriate for all smart social occasions as long as it doesn’t look too business-related. If need be, seek advice from an objective third party here – and preferably a female without any jealousy issues. But also be sure you feel comfortable and relaxed in whatever suit, shirt and shoes you go for – the tie is optional.
Feeling right
The next part is harder to define, but it’s all about feeling right for the occasion. So, just like you need to feel comfortable in the suit of your choice, you also need to feel relaxed and confident – and this comes from within.
Feeling fit and healthily and very well-groomed will help in this regard. So take exercise, plan your outfits, get your hair well cut and do sweat the detail on all the little things relating to your appearance. This works – but it’s a balance. You really don’t want to come across as arrogant as this is a very different thing to being confident about your look and behaviour.
Fun
And finally have fun being Bond, that’s what this is really all about.
