Seeing as Roger Moore has a style thread, why not do one for Sean Connery?

With the exception of DAF--though I like that linen-looking shirt he wears when twisting the bikini top around Denise Perrier's neck--Connery's Bond has worn some truly great outfits. I've always admired his black short-sleeved shirt and brown slacks from the Shrublands scenes in TB, and his gray suit from same. There's also that "shrimp"-colored short-sleeved shirt he wears when first talking to Domino. The white tuxedo jacket from the PTS in Goldfinger was probably the first time I noticed such an item in movies when I was a kid.

I even like the pink tie; never understood the abuse that item gets.

He even manages to look amazing in his hotel room in Dr. No--with no jacket.

Stylish!

Actually, I liked this turtleneck outfit that he had worn in DAF. I thought that it suited him very well.

[O.H.M.S.S.]

Besides the traditional outfits I love the way how he still can dress stylish in a more summer-like outfit as we saw in Thunderball.

i LOVE sean's suits. they make him look hot, especially in goldfinger and FRWL.

Ah, but what about that fugtacular baby blue onesie? Can anyone defend that?

Actually, thinking about it, I'd like to have seen Roger in one of those.

His TB wardrobe was probably his best. The casino scene in TB featured his best Bond in a tuxedo moments. I also liked the grey business suit and white dinner jacket in GF and his grey battle outfit with the turtleneck at the end of YOLT. Kudos also to his Royal Naval uniform for his "funeral" in YOLT.

Oh indeed. I admit that pretty much makes up for the babygro incident.

Was watching Goldfinger yesterday and was quite impressed with Sean's suit in the scene in M's office (chapter 9 of the UE DVD). He wears a grey vest under his black suit. Connery also sports a tasteful pocket corner and black tie. Wonderful, classic attire.

And apart from his excellent suit, I love Sean's stewing with barely-controlled anger in that scene.

I like the outfit he wears in th emud bath sequence of DAF. Very Suave, yet a tad casual elegant.

I always considered it to be the pajama coat that Fleming would write about.

I thought about having one made to wear as a joke to the pool party at one of Bryce's DTBB events.

Good choice! I like everything Connery wears in DAF, so I take back my previous remark about "with the exception of DAF."

1971 was a wonderfully bizarre year, wasn't it?

[Aris007]

I just finished watching DN and I have to say I adore his black tie. It doesn't look THAT expensive, but so stylish and formal.

[elizabeth]

I like his blood-stained shirt in DN. It makes him look all muscly. <3

[AMC Hornet]

The lightweight grey suits he wore in DN & GF were the slickest. They fit and moved with him perfectly. Remeber Leo DeCaprio in 'Catch Me If You Can'? He sees Goldfinger and immediately scams himself an Aston Martin and a Saville Row duplicate. I would so do the same thing.

I thought his wardrobe in DAF was atrocious, however (not at the time, but as time marches on). That yellow turtleneck and brown plaid ensemble looked like something Dean Martin might have - and probably did - wear as Matt Helm. But he made formal wear look so casual, didn't he? In Dr. No he was so muscular he looked like a gorilla stuffed into a monkey suit, but by DAF, when he's strolling through the Whyte House casino with one hand in his trouser pocket he looked perfectly comfortable and at ease. I'll even forgive him the paisley lapels on his black dinner jacket (but not those cowboy shoes he was wearing at Slumber, inc.)

[double o ego]

How does connery look muscular in Dr.No? I'll never understand some people's perceptions of the human body. Connery was lean at best in Dr.No. In FRWL and GF he had put on some healthy weight...only slightly and by TB he was probably in the best shape of his life. YOLT, Connery easily has been living the good life and is eating extremely well. Perhaps too well.

Back on topic, yes, connery's wardrobe, particularly the suits he wore and the way he moved in them left a lasting impression on me and every day as I suit up for work, it's connery and craig's sense of style when it comes to suits that I incorporate.

[Klaus_Hergesheimer]

Speaking of that gray 3-piece suit from Goldfinger, looks like its style hasn't gone away at all. I mean, if Mr. Beckham approves, then....

[Brian Flagg]

Connery's return to Fountainbridge has photos of Sir Sean looking positively Hemingwayesque with his white beard and cap--looking good at (nearly) 80!

[Messervy]

Connery's just wonderfully stylish in GF. What he wears during the Golf scene, during the car chase in Switzerland, during the Ranch scene, and the soooooo cool way he wears them, are just perfect. Even the way he wears the rags he's in on the plane taking him to Goldfinger's Ranch is classy.

It's actually funny, because I consider GF to be the very epitome of Bond class, and yet it features one of the most horrendous outfits of all time: namely, that blue swimsuit.

When all is said and done, Connery's Bond is the true living class. Plain impossible to equal. Even his Navy uniform for his "funeral at sea" in YOLT looks like a tuxedo on him. Sorry for Mr Beckham above, but there's more to being classy than just wearing an expensive 3-piece suit. You have to own it, more than it owns you.

Beckham does look like a schoolboy who was dressed by his mother the morning of school photos.

I have to wear suits a lot for work (I'm a lawyer) and I've always found Sean's wardrobe in the first four films to be a model of both classy styling and proper fit. This applies to his casual clothes as well as his suits. I just wanted to add one outfit that hasn't been mentioned yet. At the end of FRWL (the Rosa Klebb trying to kick him with the poisoned boot tip scene) he is wearing an absolutely great pinstriped suit.

[Aris007]

I also like the black suit with the dark blue shirt he's wearing in the beggining of TB. He keeps it simple and yet very stylish.

[Jeao007]

I've actually heard from various different sources that 3-piece suits are coming back in style. You can actually purchase a replica of the Goldfinger suit here: http://www.magnolicl...hiers-p-41.html

I couldn't agree more. Sean's suits never really seem outdated to me in those early films. His casual attire as well looks suave as always. I tend to go a bit dressed up for work, though I don't own any suits, I have many sport jackets and blazers. I sometime use Sean's GF outfit when driving in Switzerland as a role model, or his TB look when attending the OO conference- blue blazer gray slacks.

I'm pretty sure Rog wears one in an episode of The Persuaders!, which means that by 1971 the things were still "in style"!

I believe they never left style. You just need to be careful with a three-piece cause it's a little too formal, so it doesn't fit everywhere.

... and it doesn't fit everyone. You have to be tall and lean to wear that. This looks just awfull on the guy in the pictures. Waistcoat goes too high; last button should be loose; jacket is way too long; etc.

Right! I forgot about that! If your belly is a little big then the three-piece is not for you.
I'm lucky though cause I'm tall and lean as Messervy said. Thank God!
