Seen that picture before. Ralph Lauren shirt for $36? Where is that, China?


I don't like to dress like celebs per say, but I admire certain characters in movies, as you may have gathered by now Skyfall is one of those. Another one is Patrick Bateman portrayed by Christian Bale in American Psycho (Dunhil tiesl, Oliver People's glasses, Richard James shirts , Thom Browne shoes, Valentino suits) OR Joseph Gordon-Levitt's style in Inception
(Three piece grey suits, light brown shoes)

Here's a near full list of Skyfall products used, with links to where you can buy the stuff:

Most of it is really expensive, but some are actually great value.

Even the expensive stuff is fully affordable for normal people, if you work for it and want to invest in a proper wardrobe (Tom Ford suit/cuff-links, Brioni suit and Omega watch aside, THAT's a millionaire's wardrobe))

Handmade in England Crocket & Jones shoes (£300-500), Zara youth shirt, Levi's vintage jacket ($900), N. Pearl cashmere sweater (made in England,$350 ), John Smedley pullover (made in England? $230) , Puma A. McQueen shoes, Longines watches, Billy Reid ($700) coat and so on.

Even the stuff like the wooden shaving bowl from Taylor of Old Bond Street (£20) and Pierre Cardin lighters look cool. Definitely going )to invest in the Albert Thurston White Moiré braces (£55) for when I get my tuxedo, they look absolutely sexy. Also been looking at H. Huntsman ones, though they cost a bit more (£80) but that's Savile Row (!) clothing.

Anyways, just looking at the products and brands from the list, its easy to use as an inspiration for your own wardrobe. After all, they were carefully selected by experts.

I would never buy a suit for cheap lol. It's a suit, you're going to be using it for life so you
might as well make it look and feel great.

And there are so many factors in pulling off a look, so I don't think it's practical to
simply copy someone's style. But I will say that Ryan Gosling and David Beckham are gods and
I am super jealous lol

Edit: Sunglasses are a really picky accessory, am I right? Different face shapes and such
will change what type and what shape you wear.

As a Brit living in Norway, I always chuckle when I hear people say UK is expensive.

Looking at Ralph Lauren shirts today actually, they're priced between £100-150 depending on type. But clothes here tend to be really close to the UK price. +/- 5-15% more expensive.

Example price:

£300 shoes from Allen Edmonds in the UK would probably be NOK 3200-3500

£1 = 10 NOK

Obviously not copy, but use as inspiration.

No one can copy Beckham though















Not to say I wouldn't try if I had his money

i saw you don't like t shirts with pictures, but i love nerdy/cute shirts. i've had several people compliment me on this one:



why is it bad to wear them?

bought 1 from underarmour and it's fucking comfy as hell and shows off physic

Yes. There's a picture guide posted up here that matches face type with glasses types.

Maybe funny but has no place in fashion. It makes people laugh, it doesn't look good.

On an unrelated note, in this case, you are impressing your linux friends who understand and everyone else is judging you as a nerd

Brand placement is ridiculous. It's not cost of living.

For example, I can pickup 5 quicksilver shirts in the states for $25. But go to brazil and I'm looking at $80 per shirt. That's the culture, they sell at that pricepoint there.
Those brands sell at those pricepoints in your area.

Solution? Buy online. Your country has crappy import laws? Blame your country, not the price of clothes

Dis as well as baseball shirts
