i take a lot of inspiration from British, italian and ivy league mens fashion from mainly the 60s and Bond is certainly part of that, but I can't say I ever pick out anything thinking "Bond wore this".
Yes I like the 60s look which Connery of course had in his movies. I do have one or two Bond items of clothing from DCs era but seldom ever wear them - yet do sort of dress in the 'style' of DC's Bond but not copy him.
A sense of humour is no laughing matter!

In short, no.
As a fan of Star Wars and Trek, over the years I have had the "Wearing bath robes, or perhaps red pyjamas?" comments more than once. My bath robe is silk, and I stopped wearing pyjamas when I was 10!
A man's wardrobe defines him. If he simply duplicates someone else's he is replicating them. Mantis highlights a good point - taking pieces you like and using them for your own ends. Bond has been an influence to me inadvertently in his clothing choices. I refer to Literary Bond. - I say that because my Grandad was a fan of Flemings books as well as the film series, and he was of Mr Fleming's generation. - Tweed jackets, knitted ties, Oxford brogue shoes, etc etc. That is classic tailoring, and I have tried to work some aspects of that into the smarter side of my wardrobe. Some more successful than others. Even my dinner suit. It is a replication of the Casino Royale one yes, but with my own refinements, and after careful research on black tie. This was highlighted in the fact I had planned to use cufflinks with it that are good, but my Father gave me a set of beautiful silver ones as a Christmas present. I was completely taken aback - my Dad is not a tailoring kind of guy at all, but the cufflinks are perfect. A family influence, directly helping to define my own style!
As for every day attire, I go by two aspects. What I like, and what looks good on me. I stopped being a slave to fashion labels and styles when I was 25. In part because I could no longer afford it, but also because I had stopped enjoying it.
If you want to dress / smell?! / look / even sound, like any of the versions of Bond, that is up to you. But for me, I am happy with my own style.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

I have just shed a little tear. If you were on stage, I'd be that one person who stands up and starts clapping slowly, right after you've finished speaking, prompting everyone else in the audience to do the same.
Bond, one of the few in the world who hasn´t worn a pair of blue jeans :007)
No?

A great post. {[]
Here is my attept to dress like Bond on a budget, the whole outfit including the real P99 gun cost around $700
Don' know what's scarier, the gun or the eyes!
Kidding, kidding. I'd say that you did a good attempt at the look. Well done.
How much was the stylish red sofa? :v
You must be rather warm, what with being in Florida and all! Nice take on the scene. -{
No.
