He really knows how to dress up for a formal occasion, doesn't he? (Sorry, James!) Excellent pics, MS. Here's a few more random ones.

He really knows how to dress up for a formal occasion, doesn't he? (Sorry, James!) *Puts on armor and stands behind blast shield* I know this comment will not win me any awards on this forum but I thought it was really rude that James came dressed so inappropriately for the occasion. At the very, very least he could have had on a shirt that tucked in. I know they asked him to speak at the opening of the exhibit so they must know something about him but I doubt they expected him to appear dressed as if he just didn't give a damn. That's Alan Turing's son he's standing next to at the ribbon cutting. This is a memorial of sorts to his father's valuable work. James can wear a pair of chinos, a tucked in freshly pressed shirt and some clean shoes for just one day. OK Ladies, you may now throw shoes, bricks and harsh words. I'm ready.

I thought James looked smart. Perhaps I have lower values. I think it was more a case of "I know, let's get James May to open it and then people may actually come and visit because we have this celebrity figure representing us..." rather than "Oh no, we wanted somebody in a tuxedo cutting a ribbon so we all look smart and posh."
He's only cutting a ribbon, he's not meeting the queen.
Although, I bet he'd still dress like that if he did meet the queen.
Could you imagine The Queen as a guest in the reasonably price car?! Gagahahahahahahah! It'd be like watching a stamp.

There are certain occasions when a little extra effort doesn't go amiss. For instance, the awards show, where the guys came directly from filming TG. James was the only one to remember all his kit. He looked great. ;D Although I think James looks great in that shirt and jacket, it wasn't the most appropriate outfit for the event.
*ducks*

I know what you mean but.... It is James we are talking about. This is who he is and this is his "image" you see. He is always dressed like that and I must say - I like it. It shows personality, he never hides behind clothes that do not represent his own personality, I for one thing hate it that you normally never see an item worn twice on TV. He wears what he likes and I like his style, just casual and "normal", he could be your neighbour or best friend. I also think that is part of his charm and the reason so many people, not only women, like him so much. I cannot relate to those posh presenters who look like they just stepped out of a salon and wear shoes that cost more than my whole outfit alltogether! If you say "James should have dressed differently on this occasion" it would not have been James. But that is my opinion. I don't see what is wrong with his outfit - it is clean, no holes in it or anything.... looks fine by me. But then again... my standards are perhaps not that high

I agree with AM and DMC. Yes it's James but we've seen him in nicer outfits before and he does kind of stand out being the only one in jeans and a casual shirt compared to everyone else there who is at least in business casual. I'm also really not okay with him being excused by "Oh, this is his public persona, he always dresses like this." Well, no he doesn't. He's worn nicer outfits before when the occasion calls for it. The only part of that outfit that's really making him seem underdressed for the occasion is the jeans though. The shirt and jacket would have been fine, but something other than jeans next time, perhaps. This would have been overkill, but who doesn't enjoy James dressing sharp?

My 2 cents worth......I agree with Fizzy, swap the Belstaff for a smart jacket, possibly a less bright shirt and he's fine. But really, I don't think anyone was bothered.

I have finally made a return to the board! Hallelujah.
I love that song, Dit. ;D
I like what James was wearing to the event, but my only issue is that the shirt wasn't tucked in. I think it would've made a world of difference if he took that extra step to look nice. He still can wear what he likes and look sharp for he occasion. Maybe he didn't have time to add the details to his outfit. Who knows?
Quite honestly, I like a majority of what he wears now. If he is happy with what he wears, it will show. Except for his own birthday suit. That trumps everything and looks the best on him.
I'll take that taxi bus now...
