- Hi, I'm Ashley Weston.
I'm a celebrity menswear stylist.
And I'm here joined by Antonio from
Real Men Real Style.
- Hello everybody.
- I'm sure you guys already know about his channel,
but if you do not, then definitely
check out this link below.
His channel is awesome,
and I'm a huge fan anyways.
Antonio, I don't know if you wanna share anything
to the audience about yourself.
- Yeah, you know, I'm a regular guy that
uses science and military history
to teach men about style.
Why it matters, and how to control their image.
- This video is part of the Celebrity Style Series,
where we show the average guy how to dress
like an A-list celebrity.
So, in this video we're talking about
James Bond's casual style.
The first video in this series was actually
live on Antonio's Real Men Real Style channel.
So see the link below or
in the video description as well.
So Antonio, shall we get into it?
- Let's do it.
- As we talked about in our other video
about James Bond and his outfits to emulate,
I really loved the casual outfits
that Daniel Craig wears.
So I wanted to recreate this one because
it's just clean, simple, and it looks amazing
on every guy regardless of his age
or body type.
So, unlike the other video where
I wanted to switch out the items
for more practical options,
this one is already very practical
aside from the shoes.
But we'll get into that in a moment.
So, lemme go enter into my studio, Antonio,
and we'll get right into it.
- Sounds good. - Alright.
Alright, so, to recreate this look, Daniel Craig
is wearing a black, shawl-collar cardigan
that is so warm and comfy.
I put my model in this one from
Todd Snyder.
But check the link for details
about that cardigan, as well as another one that I love.
For his shirt, you can either go with
a white oxford button-down shirt
like a have my model in.
Or, if you want to dress it down a little bit more,
you can go with a white, V-neck T-shirt
like Daniel Craig wore in Casino Royale.
As for the pants, tan or sand chinos are perfect.
Now, for the shoes, Mr. Bond, again, is wearing
a brown, suede Chukka boot, which,
like I mentioned in the companion video to this one,
I'm not the biggest fan.
So, instead, go with something more practical
like dark, brown oxford dress shoes.
I find that a lot of men have a tough time
mixing their dress shoes with more casual outfits.
So this is a perfect example of when to add them in.
Now if you've been a follower of mine
or Antonio's for a while,
then you should hopefully already
have these in your closet.
As for the sunglasses,
Daniel Craig is wearing aviators,
but depending on your face shape,
may not be the best sunglasses for you.
Now, Antonio, I know you did a
whole thing about sunglasses and face shape.
So, for my model, since he has a more oval face,
I went with these squared Tom Ford sunglasses.
So, here's my version of Daniel Craig's
outfit from Quantum of Solace.
Like always, check out the link for outfit details
and items that will fit any budget.
Alright, so Antonio I'm so curious about
your thoughts on this outfit.
So, lemme get back to my desk,
and we'll discuss.
Hey Antonio.
- Hey Ashley.
What are my thoughts on this outfit?
It's all about practicality here.
If you look at all of the items in this outfit,
we're talking about things that already
a man probably has in his wardrobe.
Maybe, you know, it's gonna be this sweater.
He's not gonna have this particular style,
but he can either go out there and
look to make this one purchase,
or he could bring in something else.
I think the key is we're looking at the way
the colors are working with brown from the
tan trousers to the brown dress shoes
which you substituted for the suede.
But I also think, I mean...
I just put out a video
about dress boots.
And I think that for a guy maybe
that wants a more rugged look,
he could simply bring in a pair of dress boots.
He could bring back the chukkas,
which I know you're not a fan of suede,
but some guys out there already have
some, or they love it.
And they wanna add this to the wardrobe.
So that's what's so cool about this is,
they already have a lot of this.
I mean, the simple shirts.
You talked about changing out with the
V-neck, but most guys have a white shirt.
You could actually probably even bring in
maybe a light blue or maybe even something
with a pattern with a white
with a checked pattern on it.
So many different ways you could
make this outfit yours.
Even the sweater, you know,
if it's too warm for it, you could even
bring in something more lightweight,
or maybe even a sports jacket.
Just keep the color...
Go with something similar in color,
and bring in a sports jacket.
- Those are all really great suggestions,
and that's actually one of the reasons,
huge reasons, why I love this outfit,
is because you could do so much
and switch so many things out to create
other outfits, and to just make it more
comfortable for you or the environment that you live in.
- And we've talked about it in the other
video, which I know you've linked to down below
in which we covered a more...
I would say that type of outfit
was a bit more masculine.
It was maybe a...
It was darker.
It had more of a monochromatic look to it.
This one right here has the clear break.
So I would think maybe the only build
that I would say needs to be careful
is if you've got a wide mid-section.
This would be something that you'd wanna
really, maybe, in that case definitely a jacket.
You want something that builds up the shoulders.
But I think for thinner men,
learning how to layer like this.
For smaller men, for regular-size guys,
this is gonna be a great look.
- Yes, exactly.
I couldn't have said it better.
So, like I said, this video is part of our
Celebrity Style Series.
That's, like, a mouthful.
Say that one really quickly a couple of times.
- Celebrity Style Series.
- The other James Bond video is currently
live on the Real Men Real Style channel.

- Ashley, thank you for having me.
- Bye, we'll see you in the next one.
