As the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, hits cinemas, all eyes are on the star of the film – Daniel Craig. Not only does he ooze confidence and sophistication, but he looks great in both suits and swimming shorts – so why not take a leaf out of his style book?
Here’s how to get the Daniel Craig Bond look in five steps:
Tone up that chest
If your idea of exercise is putting another Bond film in the DVD player – it’s time to think again. Secret agents don’t tend to have wobbly bits or an oversized chest, so get off the couch and work up a sweat. If you want to improve your pecs, speak to a personal trainer about lifting weights, or do several sets of press-ups on a daily basis. Still struggling to shift your man boobs? Then try running to burn more calories, or maybe look into surgical options like a male chest reduction.
Reduce your alcohol intake
As we all know, James Bond likes his martinis ‘shaken, not stirred’, but if you’re trying to get the Daniel Craig look, it’s best to avoid alcohol altogether. Cocktails and other alcoholic beverages are laden with sugar and can make you pile on the pounds if you’re not careful. Of course, a tipple now and again shouldn’t do too much damage to your waistline, but opt for low-calorie alternatives like a shot of gin andslimlinetonic.
Dress up – even at home
Whether you’re staying in or going out, don’t be afraid to dress up. 007 himself always looks well presented, so slip on that charcoal flannel suit when the mood takes you or go for a black ensemble. Further James Bond style advice can be found online, but don’t forget to keep a bow tie lying around for those special occasions and always make sure your shoes are highly polished.
Stay well groomed
When Daniel Craig first hit our screens as Bond back in 2006, he appeared well-groomed – just like the many actors before him. The clean-shaven, short-haired look of the character is a big part of his identity, so don’t let your mop grow long. Keep well-trimmed and make sure you take a shave when you get up in the morning. MI6 agents always look smart and professional, so don’t let standards slip just because you’re having a bad day.
As a man, you’ve probably dreamt about spending the day in Bond’s shoes – so why not model yourself on his appearance?
