Poll: Spys

It completely depends on their mission, it should never be obvious they're a spy, unless they're a diversion, but even then it shouldn't be too obvious otherwise it won't work.

Or, you could do something inconspicuous. I'm a fan of Jason Bourne or Ethan Hunt. You never suspect them until they kick the crap out of 5 armed guards or whip out some crazy gadget. I think the idea is for spies to not get noticed.

 

[tiredinnuendo]

None of the above. A true spy is never memorable as much as James Bond would lead you to believe one should be.

Exactly, the best spies are nondescript and not even recognisable as a spy.

James Bond is probably the world's worst spy... he's famous for being a spy yet every time he meets someone he tells them his real name.

"Bond... James Bond. Shit! I mean Incognito... Guy Incognito".

Or he's the worlds best spy because he still gets away with it.

James Bond is probably the most infamous and easily my choice.

There was a James Bond RPG ages ago that I can recall friends of mine playing. I didn't personally get into it, but as it was explained to me, each mission you ran got you a certain amount of "fame" and if you got too much fame, you were basically a dead man walking, since you'd be marked by everyone. What made James Bond so special in that game was that he had an absolutely ridiculous fame rating and yet, was still alive.

Trench Coat and fedora or a tuxedo.

 

[Jedamethis]

The best spy looks like this

Spoiler

Although yes, a spy in a trenchcoat and fedora looks awesome

 

[yaik7a]

Trench coats and Fedora FTW

 

[Taerdin]

Suits, it looks more professional and is slightly less obvious than a Trechcoat & Fedora or a full Tux.

Emphasis on the 'slightly' I'm guessing. That guy is so obvious its not even funny. I have no idea how he could possibly be successful ever. Just sayin'

A ski mask is probably the most conspicuous thing you could ever wear. Seriously, try walking into your local bank wearing one and being inconspicuous, I dare you.

Trench coat and fe-DO-ra! Trench coat and fe-DO-ra!

Spies. It's spelled spies.

Tuxedo and trench coat?

 

[Cowabungaa]

I like both, why not, Suit with a trenchcoat and a Fedora?

This man wins the thread. Why choose, just mix!

A Tux

"Gentelmen..."

You're obviously referring to the TF2 Spy. He wears a suit, not a tux. A tuxedo has a bow tie, for example, the TF2 Spy wears a regular tie. Which I prefer, by the way.

A tuxedo with a fedora would be badass but still civilized.

Oh, come on. Obviously, if he was going to rob a bank, he'd wear a mask to disguise himself as one of the tellers or guards. He'd also sap all the security cameras and one-hit kill everyone while they weren't looking. He'd be awesome!

depends on which Bond you follow, the one in the books was very different from the movies, ie no whacky gadgets and such

 

[Twilight_guy]

The best spy outfit is the clothes of the guards of top secret facility. (or a suit and ski mask... Gentlemen!).

 

[Monocle Man]

Black tie, of course. Nothing beats black tie.

 

[Kajt]

Suits. Absolutely suits.
