Guy Ritchie's new ode to the good old-fashioned spy flick is almost here: The Man from U.N.C.L.E is a homage to the original TV series and the decade from which it hails, the 1960s.
Along with the film's flash cars and playful, caperish tone comes a whole host of dapper 1960s outfits – and plenty of hair pommade as sported by the slick main man, actor Henry Cavil.
If you're aching after the spy cool of his character, CIA agent Napoleon Solo, then look no further – British brand Hawes & Curtis has created a stylish collection of swinging 1960s outfits influenced by the film.
Dressing everyone from the Duke of Windsor to Cary Grant since 1913, men's and women's store Hawes & Curtis has turned its eye to the decade that brought us a quintessential air of British cool by interpreting three iconic scenes from the movie.
When it comes to the collection, think exquisitely-tailored suits made from fine Italian wool, and pristine shirts featuring sharp details such as mother of pearl buttons. Tie-pins and pocket squares add sartorial flourishes, showcasing a welcome return to the days when dressing to the nines was important – even if you were popping down to the shops for a pint of milk.
That eternal sense of polished style still translates today: after all, you never knew when your next secret mission might await. And you can't very well turn up in your tracksuit bottoms, can you?
