Q has never been a man for display, which is what makes his shirt in Spectre so useful. Ben Whishaw’s Q wears a cobalt blue Kenzo shirt printed with trees, set under a sober jacket and a knitted layer. The Kenzo Graphic Trees shirt is the one bold note in the outfit, and it works because everything around it stays quiet.
In the film
Q wears it in Spectre (2015), in his lab scene, when Daniel Craig’s Bond collects his Omega Seamaster and the two of them look over 009’s Aston Martin DB10. It is worn with a Billy Reid jacket. You can read more in our guide to Spectre.
The details of the Kenzo Graphic Trees shirt
Cobalt blue. The colour is a clear, saturated blue, brighter than the navy and white that fill most shirt drawers. Against grey, charcoal or brown tailoring it reads as a deliberate choice rather than an accident.
A graphic tree print. The pattern is the shirt’s whole argument. It is Kenzo’s Graphic Trees design, and it is a good example of a print that is clearly a print but not a novelty.
100% cotton. Cotton is the right cloth for it. It takes a crease, softens with washing and is comfortable under a jacket for a long day.
Reference F465CH0001KM. This is the product number to search for. It matters because Kenzo has used the same print on other pieces, including a windbreaker and a tie, so the number is how you tell the shirt from its relatives.
Wearing it now
A printed shirt is easiest when it is the only loud thing you are wearing. We would do what Q’s outfit does: put it under a jacket in a plain, muted cloth, such as grey flannel, dark corduroy or a soft navy, and add a fine knit between the two if the weather asks for it. Keep the trousers, belt and shoes unremarkable.
Where it works. It suits a long working lunch, a gallery opening or a creative office, anywhere a plain white shirt would be correct but a little dull. It is not a shirt for a boardroom or a funeral, and it does not try to be.
Open or buttoned. Worn without a tie, with the collar open, it suits the colour best. A tie would only compete with the print.
Finding one. This is a 2015 shirt and Kenzo no longer lists it, so it is out of production and found second-hand. Our button runs an eBay search. Check the reference number against any listing, and ask for measurements and photographs of the print before you buy.
