Daniel Craig's Prince of Wales check faux pas
Written by Daniel P Dykes
Yes, he's been labelled the most stylish man; and yes, he has a definite penchant for Tom Ford which we can only admire; but the James Bond actor doesn't always get it spot on.
Wearing what I suspect is a Tom Ford overcoat in a Prince of Wales check, Craig made a simple faux pas but one which left his over all look decisively flat: two greys next to each other. Despite the quality and cloth of his coat, pairing if with a flat grey cardigan has created a visual black-hole. He'd have been better off with a black cardigan, which would have highlighted both his metallic tie and shirt for a much more stand out look.
And when you're standing next to Olga Kurylenko, you need all the help you can get.
