James Bond: 10 Biggest Fashion Disasters

9. The Blouson (For Your Eyes Only)

The eighties brought us the era of increased casual wear, ultimately birthing dress-down Fridays. Now it's fair enough that you can't expect 007 to go off on every mission in a suit, but poor Roger Moore is ill-served when the makers of For Your Eyes Only deck him out in a green suede blouson. This makes the already fifty-something actor look like someone's granddad on holiday. To add insult to injury, once wearing this fashion item, Bond is then forced to engage in a car chase not in his lovely red Lotus - which is unfortunately destroyed by someone breaking the window and activating the self-destruct (a bit of an overreaction by Q branch, surely?) - but a battered, yellow 2CV. So, as well as looking like a retired teacher he's in their car as well. Watching this section of For Your Eyes Only, (complimented by some hyperactive funk/disco stylings from composer Bill Conti) while Roger jokes his way through olive groves in his blouson next to the wooden Carole Bouquet, you have to try hard to remember you're a Bond fan.
