If it’s been some time since you’ve unearthed your formal shirts in the recent year, worry not. We’ve got you. The good news is there are so many fresh and stylish shirts to choose from these days, and we rounded up the best shirts for all occasions.

Across the board, your white dress shirt must have a few characteristics. First, the collar has got to be clean, crisp, and resilient. Material is key, as it should offer ease of movement and cool breathability. Next is the fit. We all know slim is the way to go. However, that doesn’t mean it has to hold onto your body like performance wear, especially if you want to wear a t-shirt underneath. You can also partner it with shirt jackets for all occasions. Don’t be stuck on slim, your dress shirt can have some room, just make sure it stays tucked so you avoid a baggy mess.

James Bond style on International James Bond Day: These are the best looks James Bond ever wore
Sean Connery as James Bond

It is no secret that James Bond is one of the most stylish men in fiction. He has been a pillar of fashion and has driven fashion for men since he launched on October 5th, 1962. 64 years later, we still look to him for inspiration. But what is it about the debonair double-0 that keeps us enthralled with his sartorial choices? I can tell you it is because he follows the simple rule of fit over fashion. He doesn’t wear bright colors or crazy patterns. His looks are timeless and elegant. And, all of them fit perfectly. Everything looks as though it was made for him. That is why James Bond style endures. And since we’re celebrating James Bond today for International James Bond Day with a book, a watch, and rankings of his best movies and actors, I figured we couldn’t pass up the chance to check out his favorite looks too.

But with 25 movies under his belt, there are hundreds of looks to choose from when picking his best. So, I scoured the films (tough job) and came up with my favorite looks from 007.
