When you talk about men’s style icons, nobody does it better than Commander James Bond. Smooth, sexy, quick-thinking and as tough as they come, he’s been an icon for men for more than half a century – and 007’s fashion credentials are in a league of their own. Across six decades and 24 films, he has moved with the stylish times, set trends, and slipped into every item like it was custom made for him at Q Branch.

Every man wants look like James Bond, and that doesn’t just mean the tuxedo. Bond isn’t just Her Majesty’s finest spy – he’s also the master of summer wear. Because let’s face it, if you’re swanning off to the Caribbean, Far East Asia or South America to save the world every other weekend, your summer wardrobe needs to be on point.

Now premium resort-wear brand Orlebar Brown is helping you get as close to being the real thing as possible with a new James Bond collection inspired by vintage Bond films, recreated for today. Made in collaboration with Eon Productions, the collection references outfits worn by the man himself, bringing together refined secret-agent style and Orlebar Brown’s signature cut and fabrics.

Prepare to be shaken and stirred into a new summer wardrobe with our favourite pieces from the collection.

Open Collar Shirt

From Thunderball

While Bond (James Bond) is best known for fine-tailoring and tuxes, here’s an example of his eye for above-average summer gear. This Thunderball-inspired shirt is an undisputed classic – a retro-style open collar and light linen fabric for a breezy look and feel.

Bond spends most of this film fighting baddies underwater, which seems like a good enough excuse to spend most of your time wearing this shirt relaxing by the water. It’s also a versatile piece for the summer months, looking the part with either shorts and sandals for casual days, or smart chinos for warm formal evenings.
