@@taladavidson5400 I agree that he pulled them off brilliantly. I will even say his outfits inspired me. He started looking a little generic, then showed more of a rock star personality as his era progressed.
Capaldi also wanted costumes that Cosplayers could wear without buying all the items- black trousers, long jacket, waistcoats and white shirts are all usable everyday wear.
Not sure I'd call Capaldi's wardrobe 'uninspired', the two costumes you talk about here - the magician suit and the hoodie - are a bit standard but you completely glossed over the velvet jackets he starts wearing in series 9 and 10 (particularly 10) - there's a red one, a black one, a charcoal one that he wears in the Monk Trilogy - they're all ace, and inspired by Pertwee's wardrobe
@@hepty3179 Up to Five, they all changed regularly and had a style rather than a costume. Like an actual person. It was a return to form to have him wear various outfits again.
mrjekyll andhyde yeah, tom baker: best quality iconic look. peter capaldi: best quantity of iconic looks. by “most” i kinda meant the amount of outfits he has
@@mroriona243 yeah i didn’t word that very well lmao. by ‘most’ i meant the amount of outfits he had as he changed them regularly. other doctors only had one or two iconic outfits; 12 had many.
12 definitely has variety on his side, but a lot of people (including myself) aren’t a big fan of his hoodie looks. The coats were lovely, but more often than not, the only remarkable thing about his outfits.
About a decade ago, I made a entire retrospective on the Doctor's wardrobe on a blog post because at the time 11 was brand new, and made me appreciate the bow tie and suspenders, now today, I have a love for costume design in thanks.
GenerationWest for me, the same sort of appreciation came with Capaldi. I think that while some people dismiss fantasy shows as only that, I believe one can learn a lot from the programs. And the idea of a blog post about the Doctor’s wardrobe can show others that.
I think Capaldi had the best costumes, if I had to cosplay a doctor it would be 12, and his costumes are a lot more versatile, they will suit more people and some of them can be worn more casually.
My top 3: 1) Tom Baker 2) Capaldis velvet jacket 3) Jon Pertwee I sometimes feel like the only person who like 6s outfit. But can we agree that his two doctors outfit was brill??
You're not the only one, in fact it is a surprise to see him in bottom place considering how much of the DW fandom love it! Sometimes this channel feels so out of touch with the fandom it's supposed to be aimed for.
They were definitely playing it safe with Eccelston which I can't blame them for but it's certainly way too high. I personally would have put Pertwee second and Capaldi 3rd.
@@connorgolsong290 Yeah but he also still needs to look like he could be the Doctor, and as much as I love Eccleston's performance, he ultimately fails to look the part at all.
Agreed. Nothing against Eccleston but his outfit is something you can wear everyday. It's far more uninspiring than most of 12th's costumes. The one of 12th"s I didn't like was the one he had in The Pyramid at The End of The World. It looks very sloppy.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with these comments. Eccelston is not just my Doctor, but his look just fit perfectly. Was a look that to me said he was battered, bruised, and not up to playing games. That was, in essence, The Doctor WHO (see what I did there?) had not only eradicated the daleks, but his own people. He destroyed two entire races and this is a look that reflects his mentality IMO. Granted, that was before the waters got muddied, but that's where things were at the point in time.
Also my friend Kai literally dresses like the fourth Doctor all the time. He has a really big oversized long coat, a wide brimmed fedora hat and he even got him mum to knit him a replica of the scarf. He just wears these day to day. Like completely unironically. He just walks round the shops wearing them. It works well with Kai because he has quite a thick beard and long hair. but he genuinely wears the coat, hat and scarf like jut as his coat and scarf and hat that you just like wear whilst walking down the street. And to add to his doctorness he only ever wears chunky boots as his shoes (unless it's a special occasion where he needs to dress smart)
how could someone say that the 11th Doctor's 1st costume is bland and then not say that the 9th Doctor's wasn't i don't see how having just a leather jacket you can get in primark and some jeans and some boots oh and the odd change of the top, it's not something that makes you stand out in the crowds
Well yeah it was kinda bland for me but not as bland as 9th. I get the Tweed was iconic but not for me. It was worse in S6 when he sometimes looked a bit like Pee Wee Herman. I was so happy they changed it. 11th's S7B purple is my fave look for his.
I feel while the first look for the Eleventh Doctor was great, it looks generic in comparison with the purple look. As for Nine, while I do respect it and how it helped bring the program back on the air, I feel that for a character who is known for dressing quirky, that outfit looks more out of place today.
One of the reasons why I love the 3rd Doctor so much is his various costumes! His original one is my favourite which is why i own it. Honourable mentions to: 12th Doctor 8th Doctor (Night of the Doctor) 11th Doctor - Corey
Peter Davidon's Fifth Doc wore the celery cause his version of our fav Time Lord was allergic to certain gases. When the celery turned purple (which to my knowledge, it never did), he knew those gases were close by. 🤔🤔 Also, I wasn't a fan of Smith's original outfit, but that purple outfit definitely made him look more Doctorish. 😊😊 Also, big fan of Paul McGann's outfit (which we learn was a Wild Bill Hickok costume); and Tom Baker's is iconic. 😊😁
You rank 12 so low going on about wearing a hoodie as a midlife crisis yet forget it came as early as Listen. I don't know how he pulled it off, but the starry sweater, topped with a lightweight hoodie topped with the signature longcoat made his look among the more iconic for me. Also, he changed clothes probably the most out of any Doctor so far, it's a bit unfair to say he has one distinct style other than hair growth series to series.
Wait wait wait...Capaldi is lower on a style list than Whittaker?... No sorry just no... Rainbows stripes and suspenders. But Whittaker pulls off a mean tux I have to admit.
No. Just no. What are you doing putting Capaldi's different outfits that low and 13th that high? His red velvet coat alone puts him near the top let alone the combination of 1st doctor trousers, hoodie, and sonic shades. 13 looks like a rip-off of Mork from Ork. Just terrible stuff dude.
I like the sixth doctor's outfit. Different colours have different meanings and Colin's doctor could one minute be calm, then be shouty, then be sad, then be boastful, then be angry, then be relaxed.
I think the 12th doctor’s outfit is nice. It’s sleek and simple which is a good fit for his personality. Plus I love him in more casual clothes. Let the doctor be more casual!
My list: 1. Peter Capaldi - The most variety of all the doctors, and they all work together 2. Matt Smith - Bow ties, tweed checkered blazer, suspenders, and long coats are cool 3. Tom Baker - Iconic scarf and poet fedora along with poufy hair 4. Jon Pertwee - another variety doctor with puff shirts and colorful velvet jackets and cloak 5. William Hartnell - The first doctor setting the foundation (love the cloak and hat) 6. David Tennant - Suits and convers are a great balance of dress and casual (long overcoat is great) 7. John Hurt - Loved the ragged war/nomad travelers clothes 8. Paul McGann - loved how he wore Victorian clothes in them-modern times 9. Peter Davison - Nice cricket outfit but never got the celery 10. Christopher Eccelson - Leather jacket is nice but no variety and only wore dark, muted, or black clothes 11. Jodi Whittaker - Her outfit never really stuck with me, I'm just use to the suits especially Capaldi's wardrobe 12. Patrick Troughton - Basic dress code 13. Sylvester McCoy - not enough question marks 14. Colin Baker - atrocious colors and pattern Hopes for new doctor outfit: Coats: colonial coats, Napoleonic coats, leather jacket, velvet coats, Crombie coat, Plaid shirt Pants: I love the checkered or plaid pants, black pants Shoes: Lace-up leather boots, converse, chelsea boots, sneakers Accessories: Scarf, pocket watch, wrist watch, bracelet, necklace Quirks: New catchphrase Talent: I loved it when capaldi played guitar
I was born in 1970. As a kid, I never liked _Doctor Who._ I became a fan when I started watching the Eccleston era. But, even still, when someone mentions the Doctor to me, the first person to come to mind is Tom Baker. Mostly, I think, because of that scarf.
Now THIS is Doctor Who content I can get behind. I wouldn’t be able to create my own ranking, personally, but I know I’d have 6 & 7’s costumes ways higher, especially 7’s darker brown coat. The Technicolor Dreamcoat rocks and you can’t change my mind.
Nine’s style is cool, but it doesn’t feel very Doctor-y to me. Although I guess that’s what RTD was going for, a more accessible Doctor for the revival. And it worked!
I never got why people dislike the Sixth Doctor's outfit. I thought it looked good as a DW costume, and, because the Sixth Doctor is meant to be an outgoing, extroverted incarnation, the loud colours are fitting with that.
I fully agree! It was such a unique and fantastical outfit. I kind of feel like this list entirely misses the context and personality behind the chosen costume. They fit the era and they fit their doctor
@@-haclong2366 he's an alien, if anything his makes the most sense, it's something a rational sane human being wouldnt wear and remember the timelords outfit of robes etc hardly says Victorian gent like most doctors I will always maintain this is the best on these grounds and more
I prefer the Season 18 variant to Tom Baker's standard costume. Colin Baker's costume in the blue variant is great. Matt Smith's 7B costume is perfection. I really liked Jodie's costume in the Haunting of Villa Diodati over her usual. Sylvester's brown variant suits him so well.
My wife, who is a professional costume designer for theater and film, loves the Sixth Doctor's outfit. And I have to admit that I love the coat (not the rest of the costume so much). Perhaps at the time it wasn't what people wanted, but it seems that it resonates with younger generations finding the show for the first time a little bit more.
Peter Davidson''s celery was explained late in his appearances as being able to revive... someone... from ...something... with it's smell. Obviously a retcon at the time, but at least they tried! Glad to hear someone else liked Sylvester McCoy though, he had an element of danger under the clown, he was Coyote, The Trickster. He could have been a bad man to have as an enemy, if the scripts had allowed.
I think the celery was explained, though vaguely, in his first appearance. While he was still dazed from regeneration, he went into that house and began devouring veggies off a platter. I thought he said he needed it to revive, and putting the celery on his lapel acted as a gauge. The celery absorbed toxins and changed color. It's been awhile since I have seen it, I admit.
Appearantly the celary was meant to turn purple when a specific poisonus gas was near. Kinda like a canary in a mine. This gas could kill the doctor without regeneration. Ironic when you think about what killed Davisons Doctor.
@@RedMadMichael Wasn't that the whole point? It finally works only for him to think "ok now what?". Could be wrong since this was only described to me from an older DW fan.
If the legendary scarf hadn't been #1 then, well, I'd have frowned, so I would. But surely Jon Pertwee's velvet jackets and ruffled shirt are equally iconic.
I would have split Capaldi and Smith into 2 separate categories. They have 2 different styles of their costumes. while the main components were the same they were more distinctly different. I prefer Smith's first look with the brown tweed jacket and the braces over the later look with the purple jacket and the waistcoats. I prefer the first one because it felt more like mad quirky professor style and while i know the second look was more grown up and had that Victorian style to it it just felt bland and boring to me. Capaldi again to me had 2 different styles to his look. His first series was the more sleek, clean cut, tailored look and while it looks cool i am not one for it. it feels too buttoned up. I like his later look with the hoodie and the longer hair and the sunglasses and stuff. Made him feel like an aged rock star which just looks awesome and fits better with Capaldi because he used to be a rocker in his youth because he has said he can genuinely play guitar and was in bands and stuff in his younger days.
It started with a Victorian cum Edwardian style as interpreted from a non-human viewpoint, which started fading around the Sixth Doctor's era. I kinda miss that approach in the NuWho area. And I still am not sure what Thirteen is wearing. I got used to McCoy's costume once he replaced the light jacket with the darker one (I always liked McCoy, at least after they burned through all of Six's leftover stories), but I really HATE the question mark motif started by John Nathan-Turner and the Fifth Doctor. But, of course, the costume that symbolizes ALL Doctors is Tom Baker's Toulouse-Lautrec/Oscar Wilde style. He's the one Doctor you can really identify even if you know nothing else about the series or the character. Sharp, flamboyant, and definitive. And he was the ONLY Doctor who REALLY wore the traditional Gallifrey Prydonian robes well. My fave? I think I'll stick with Troughton's cosmic hobo style. I always liked this more subtle style for the Doctor, which is one of the things I appreciated about Eccleston and then (to a degree) Tennant: nice and simple, without too much of the eccentric. That, of course, would change over time (and every return by Troughton seemed to make his costume more stereotypical), but I liked it.
Top three for is Tennant's Blue Suit, Tom Baker's Original outfit and Smith's Original outfit (honourable mention is Mcgann Time war outfit). Least favourite is either 6's or 13's outfit mainly because I hate their coat's.
Ruth has an excellent costume. I was underwhelmed by Jodie’s; far too unstructured for my tastes. I tend to prefer the costumes be somewhat formal and eccentric, and it never hurts if it looks a bit battered.
Most fans only hate 6's outfit because they've been told to for years. It's one of the most iconic costumes in all of Science Fiction and immediately recognizable as Doctor Who.
Hmmm. So if you took Tom Baker and put him in an outfit consisting of Jon Pertwee’s giant bow tie, Paul McGann’s trousers, one of Colin Baker’s waistcoats, and Matt Smith’s 2nd Jacket you’d have a fairly decent “all Doctors” style Willy Wonka cosplay.
*clap* give *clap* Colin *clap* Baker *clap* a *clap* break *clap* - I love that outfit 😂 Also Capaldi should have stuck with his Heaven Sent and World Enough and Time look for longer
I’ll say from having been there, Sylv’s costume was a cool drink of water in the desert after Colin’s coat’s tenure. I love Colin now, I loved his last season then, but the coat made my eyes tired. What’s missed in this list is how cool his ankle armor was, and the transcendent nature of Sylv’s brogues. A Doctor with poor footwear is no Doctor for me.
Trial of a Timelord is an awesome series and I've always liked his Dr and costume and yes the ankle armor was very cool, also even with all the question marks Sylv's look was a good look for him, I dunno why but he kinda reminded me of Pat Troughton.
I kinda like the "bad" outfits like Colin Baker's patchwork coat and Peter Davison's celery. It makes sense that a 900+ year old alien would have terrible fashion sense.🤣
I genuinely love Colin’s outfit and I love capaldis: Boots, a crombie coat and a white shirt, I swear to go I was wearing that when the look got announced: easiest Coldplay ever when I met him!
I’d say Capaldi’s clothes r very inspired and very doctory. They look great. And am an avid believer that on a time lord bow ties are cool. Still agree with 4 and 9 being up top tho
I actually kinda like 7ths outfit. I’d rank it above 6’s and 8’s movie outfit. 8’s movie outfit just doesn’t do it for me, I think it’s mainly the wig, though 8’s Night of the Doctor is my favorite of 8’s 3 main outfits. And though I don’t like 13’s as much as some do, when she takes off the long coat I quite like it much more.
The whole point about the Capaldi Doctor is that he *was* the mid-life crisis Doctor! Starting as a standard Doctor but not knowing why he was still there (first Doc since the regenerations should have run out, remember) then suddenly he has the hoodie, the guitar…Pertwee was the Dandy, Troughton the Clown, T Baker the Bohemian, Smith the ridiculous Doctor and Capaldi the mid-life-crisis morphing into the Educating Rita Doctor. I swear if they repeated the lot people would realise he’s incredible in the part.
Apparently, the 5th Doctor had the celery to detect some form of gas that could poison him. If it was present in the air, the celery would turn brown or purple. Hope that helps :)
Personally I preffered tenths blue suit over the brown suit and trenchcoat as when he wore the blue suit theres a good contrast between the suit and the white shirt but with the brown suit and trenchcoat there isn't any
As a British Doctor Who nerd/fanatic/lover I disagree with your choice for why you ranked the 12th doctors clothes and character so far down on the list, Peter Capaldi did an amazing job as the twelfth doctor. The way he was able to show his old and weary mind in whilst still having a modern touch on every situation was remarkable and amazing. His clothes are good as well even though they aren’t and David Tennant but they still are simple with an effective point.
They're all pretty good, distinctive outfits but totally agree with T. Baker having the top spot - best and favourite Doctor. Capaldi would be my next one personally.
While I agree that poor Colin Baker must have gotten the wardrobe department's leftovers, it should be pointed out that Sylvester McCoy's outfit went truly off the deep end with the question marks - sweater, collars, umbrella handle... the guy even had a business card with a question mark on it, as I recall. Having said that, the modern Doctors' outfits do tend to be somewhat ordinary by comparison. (Although I thought Matt Smith's bowtie was a nice touch.) Peter Capaldi's coat was a nice attempt at "throwback" look.
2:20 There's a reason for the celery. In, "The Caves of Androzani", the Doctor explains it's a powerful Gallifrey restorative medicine that can also detect strong gasses that he himself is allergic to. When those gasses are present, the celery turns purple and he eats it to restore himself.
I love the behind-the-scenes story behind the fourth doctor scarf. Apparently, the costume lady was supposed to make two or three scarves and then somebody would pick one, but she took all the wool for those two or three scarves, and made just one really long one
Capaldi looked like a magician and screamed classic doctor
@Joey Hunter headass
Honestly I liked the fact that the Twelfth Doctor regularly changed his clothes 🤣
The first doctor also did this regularly.
same ! it made his character feel so real, he had many signature looks
No joke, that's one of my favorite things about Twelve
Why does everyone think Capaldi's suits scream "mid-life crisis"? I love his costumes.
I was okay with his Austin Powers type outfit, then he ran around dressed like Tyrone Biggins

@@taladavidson5400 I agree that he pulled them off brilliantly. I will even say his outfits inspired me. He started looking a little generic, then showed more of a rock star personality as his era progressed.

Tennant's style looks better when he's running. That brown coat.

This guy makes it his mission to diss him in every video it’s getting rather irritating
Looks like the fans widely disagree with you on Capaldi. His outfits were my favorite! I liked that he wore a few different outfits and not just one.
The 1st Doctor is an Edwardian gent style, it was the image of The Time Traveller from H. G. Wells' The Time Machine.
the 1st , 4th , 6th and even 3rd at times all had an edwardian feel to their costumes
I think the 12th doctor’s outfit is nice. It’s sleek and simple which is a good fit for his personality. Plus I love him in more casual clothes. Let the doctor be more casual!
I can't understand people putting 13 above 3. The flood pants just bother me.
I have nothing against 13's outfit personally, but 3's outfit is so iconic and deserves the second-place spot
8's outfit wasn't Victorian Gentleman. It was Smart Western, especially as it was a Wild Bill Hiccock Halloween Costume

3:36 you mean the same trousers that the 12th Doctor also wore at times in series 9 then
but apparently when 12 wears them, it’s a “midlife crisis”... sigh, he looked great in them, very stylish
For me the sixth was bat-shit crazy I love Ihim for that
My list:
1. Peter Capaldi - The most variety of all the doctors, and they all work together
2. Matt Smith - Bow ties, tweed checkered blazer, suspenders, and long coats are cool
3. Tom Baker - Iconic scarf and poet fedora along with poufy hair
4. Jon Pertwee - another variety doctor with puff shirts and colorful velvet jackets and cloak
5. William Hartnell - The first doctor setting the foundation (love the cloak and hat)
6. David Tennant - Suits and convers are a great balance of dress and casual (long overcoat is great)
7. John Hurt - Loved the ragged war/nomad travelers clothes
8. Paul McGann - loved how he wore Victorian clothes in them-modern times
9. Peter Davison - Nice cricket outfit but never got the celery
10. Christopher Eccelson - Leather jacket is nice but no variety and only wore dark, muted, or black clothes
11. Jodi Whittaker - Her outfit never really stuck with me, I'm just use to the suits especially Capaldi's wardrobe
12. Patrick Troughton - Basic dress code
13. Sylvester McCoy - not enough question marks
14. Colin Baker - atrocious colors and pattern
Hopes for new doctor outfit:
Coats: colonial coats, Napoleonic coats, leather jacket, velvet coats, Crombie coat, Plaid shirt
Pants: I love the checkered or plaid pants, black pants
Shoes: Lace-up leather boots, converse, chelsea boots, sneakers
Accessories: Scarf, pocket watch, wrist watch, bracelet, necklace
Quirks: New catchphrase
Talent: I loved it when capaldi played guitar
I was born in 1970. As a kid, I never liked _Doctor Who._ I became a fan when I started watching the Eccleston era. But, even still, when someone mentions the Doctor to me, the first person to come to mind is Tom Baker. Mostly, I think, because of that scarf.
Now THIS is Doctor Who content I can get behind. I wouldn’t be able to create my own ranking, personally, but I know I’d have 6 & 7’s costumes ways higher, especially 7’s darker brown coat.
The Technicolor Dreamcoat rocks and you can’t change my mind.
Nine’s style is cool, but it doesn’t feel very Doctor-y to me. Although I guess that’s what RTD was going for, a more accessible Doctor for the revival. And it worked!
Capaldi screamed guitarist full on when he wore his glasses
i dont realy agree about the 6th doctor being last, yes. it is weird. but it fits his character. unlike the 8th doctor in the tv movie
The fact that the 13th doctor is above the 10th doctor is just...
I never got why people dislike the Sixth Doctor's outfit. I thought it looked good as a DW costume, and, because the Sixth Doctor is meant to be an outgoing, extroverted incarnation, the loud colours are fitting with that.
I fully agree! It was such a unique and fantastical outfit. I kind of feel like this list entirely misses the context and personality behind the chosen costume. They fit the era and they fit their doctor
you and me both
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Personally I think that it reminds too many people of what someone in a circus would wear.
@@-haclong2366 he's an alien, if anything his makes the most sense, it's something a rational sane human being wouldnt wear and remember the timelords outfit of robes etc hardly says Victorian gent like most doctors
I will always maintain this is the best on these grounds and more
@@snakedaemongaming6590 agreed his look makes most sense, and also is really cool (or is that my nostalgia from child hood speaking Lol)
dont like 13's costume. 3/4 pants with boots looked weird and the shirt reminded me of mork from ork.
Not the worst but I certainly wouldn't have placed it so high on the list.
Yeah I think it's worse than 6.
Agreed. I think it should be a lot lower on the list, right above Six or below it. Yikes.
Personally it should be at the bottom, non of its element work and it doesn’t scream Doctor, it screams 90’s.
@@TARDIS_TEAM we dressed better than this in the 90s Lol
I prefer the Season 18 variant to Tom Baker's standard costume.
Colin Baker's costume in the blue variant is great.
Matt Smith's 7B costume is perfection.
I really liked Jodie's costume in the Haunting of Villa Diodati over her usual.
Sylvester's brown variant suits him so well.
My wife, who is a professional costume designer for theater and film, loves the Sixth Doctor's outfit. And I have to admit that I love the coat (not the rest of the costume so much). Perhaps at the time it wasn't what people wanted, but it seems that it resonates with younger generations finding the show for the first time a little bit more.
Peter Davidson''s celery was explained late in his appearances as being able to revive... someone... from ...something... with it's smell. Obviously a retcon at the time, but at least they tried!
Glad to hear someone else liked Sylvester McCoy though, he had an element of danger under the clown, he was Coyote, The Trickster. He could have been a bad man to have as an enemy, if the scripts had allowed.
I think the celery was explained, though vaguely, in his first appearance. While he was still dazed from regeneration, he went into that house and began devouring veggies off a platter. I thought he said he needed it to revive, and putting the celery on his lapel acted as a gauge. The celery absorbed toxins and changed color. It's been awhile since I have seen it, I admit.
Appearantly the celary was meant to turn purple when a specific poisonus gas was near. Kinda like a canary in a mine. This gas could kill the doctor without regeneration. Ironic when you think about what killed Davisons Doctor.
It was his last story Caves of Androzani when he gave the full explanation for the celery.
@@RedMadMichael Wasn't that the whole point? It finally works only for him to think "ok now what?". Could be wrong since this was only described to me from an older DW fan.
If the legendary scarf hadn't been #1 then, well, I'd have frowned, so I would. But surely Jon Pertwee's velvet jackets and ruffled shirt are equally iconic.
the sixth´s coat is my favorite clothing from the doctor.
Carrie Bradshaw had a coat that reminded me of Colin's style in The SATC episode Attack Of The 5'10 woman. You'll know if when you see it.
I would have split Capaldi and Smith into 2 separate categories. They have 2 different styles of their costumes. while the main components were the same they were more distinctly different. I prefer Smith's first look with the brown tweed jacket and the braces over the later look with the purple jacket and the waistcoats. I prefer the first one because it felt more like mad quirky professor style and while i know the second look was more grown up and had that Victorian style to it it just felt bland and boring to me. Capaldi again to me had 2 different styles to his look. His first series was the more sleek, clean cut, tailored look and while it looks cool i am not one for it. it feels too buttoned up. I like his later look with the hoodie and the longer hair and the sunglasses and stuff. Made him feel like an aged rock star which just looks awesome and fits better with Capaldi because he used to be a rocker in his youth because he has said he can genuinely play guitar and was in bands and stuff in his younger days.
It started with a Victorian cum Edwardian style as interpreted from a non-human viewpoint, which started fading around the Sixth Doctor's era. I kinda miss that approach in the NuWho area. And I still am not sure what Thirteen is wearing.
I got used to McCoy's costume once he replaced the light jacket with the darker one (I always liked McCoy, at least after they burned through all of Six's leftover stories), but I really HATE the question mark motif started by John Nathan-Turner and the Fifth Doctor.
But, of course, the costume that symbolizes ALL Doctors is Tom Baker's Toulouse-Lautrec/Oscar Wilde style. He's the one Doctor you can really identify even if you know nothing else about the series or the character. Sharp, flamboyant, and definitive. And he was the ONLY Doctor who REALLY wore the traditional Gallifrey Prydonian robes well.
My fave? I think I'll stick with Troughton's cosmic hobo style. I always liked this more subtle style for the Doctor, which is one of the things I appreciated about Eccleston and then (to a degree) Tennant: nice and simple, without too much of the eccentric. That, of course, would change over time (and every return by Troughton seemed to make his costume more stereotypical), but I liked it.
The question mark began with Tom with his updated costume for his final series.
@@simonbutterfield4860 That still makes it JNT's fault, but I only really started noticing the question mark motif with Davison.
I think the multicoloured coat is awesome :(
Top three for is Tennant's Blue Suit, Tom Baker's Original outfit and Smith's Original outfit (honourable mention is Mcgann Time war outfit). Least favourite is either 6's or 13's outfit mainly because I hate their coat's.
Ruth needs to be on this list. She looked like the Doctor when she appeared on the scene with her restored memories.
Ruth has an excellent costume. I was underwhelmed by Jodie’s; far too unstructured for my tastes. I tend to prefer the costumes be somewhat formal and eccentric, and it never hurts if it looks a bit battered.
I was just a kid for the 6th doctor but I remember liking it because it felt more like the fourth doctor than Davidson’s tan outfit.
Come on mate
Capaldi had the best costumes
That red velvet jacket 💕💕
Most fans only hate 6's outfit because they've been told to for years. It's one of the most iconic costumes in all of Science Fiction and immediately recognizable as Doctor Who.
It basically just screams "look at me look at my colorful suit look how colorful I am" just complete arrogance from 1 simple outfit.
I have seen the coat in real life bc Colin baker can to our school lol. His daughter was our teacher
Hmmm. So if you took Tom Baker and put him in an outfit consisting of Jon Pertwee’s giant bow tie, Paul McGann’s trousers, one of Colin Baker’s waistcoats, and Matt Smith’s 2nd Jacket you’d have a fairly decent “all Doctors” style Willy Wonka cosplay.
*clap* give *clap* Colin *clap* Baker *clap* a *clap* break *clap* - I love that outfit 😂 Also Capaldi should have stuck with his Heaven Sent and World Enough and Time look for longer
I’ll say from having been there, Sylv’s costume was a cool drink of water in the desert after Colin’s coat’s tenure. I love Colin now, I loved his last season then, but the coat made my eyes tired. What’s missed in this list is how cool his ankle armor was, and the transcendent nature of Sylv’s brogues. A Doctor with poor footwear is no Doctor for me.
Trial of a Timelord is an awesome series and I've always liked his Dr and costume and yes the ankle armor was very cool, also even with all the question marks Sylv's look was a good look for him, I dunno why but he kinda reminded me of Pat Troughton.
I absolutely love Mr. Bow Tie, lol
I’m glad that absolutely no one is hating on Tom baker being number 1. The fourth doctor costume is simply iconic.
I kinda like the "bad" outfits like Colin Baker's patchwork coat and Peter Davison's celery. It makes sense that a 900+ year old alien would have terrible fashion sense.🤣
I genuinely love Colin’s outfit and I love capaldis: Boots, a crombie coat and a white shirt, I swear to go I was wearing that when the look got announced: easiest Coldplay ever when I met him!
I lovedddd Capaldi's outfits; easily one of my favourites! And looking back on it, I thought the Ruth Doctor's outfit was really cool too
12 was a stinker here. Him changing looks and yet looking iconic in most? That's impressive.
I’d say Capaldi’s clothes r very inspired and very doctory. They look great.
And am an avid believer that on a time lord bow ties are cool.
Still agree with 4 and 9 being up top tho
For me number 1 is Capaldi in the Red Velvet jacket, that was the perfect blend of modern yet Doctorly for me.
I actually kinda like 7ths outfit. I’d rank it above 6’s and 8’s movie outfit. 8’s movie outfit just doesn’t do it for me, I think it’s mainly the wig, though 8’s Night of the Doctor is my favorite of 8’s 3 main outfits. And though I don’t like 13’s as much as some do, when she takes off the long coat I quite like it much more.
Capaldi being so low on this is baffling. Love the variety in 12's wardrobe.
The whole point about the Capaldi Doctor is that he *was* the mid-life crisis Doctor! Starting as a standard Doctor but not knowing why he was still there (first Doc since the regenerations should have run out, remember) then suddenly he has the hoodie, the guitar…Pertwee was the Dandy, Troughton the Clown, T Baker the Bohemian, Smith the ridiculous Doctor and Capaldi the mid-life-crisis morphing into the Educating Rita Doctor. I swear if they repeated the lot people would realise he’s incredible in the part.
the fact David Tenant's costume is lower than Whitaker's makes no sense
The fifth doctor changed his celery in Enlightenment
I really liked six’s costume.
Didn’t Capaldi opt to have the look easy for fans to recreate though
I read the celery on the 5th Doctor was used as an indicator if he encounters something he's allergic to.
yes this is explained briefly in his last story "Caves of Andrazani"
I feel like one of the few who hated Matt's bowtie. Just dont like bowties tbh. Also Colin's coat is fuckin magnificent
the companions didnt seem to like the bowtie either so it was part of the story
Giving a like because I love Colin's coat. If I were to play The Doctor, I would want my incarnation wearing a coat paying homage to it.
bow ties are cool - Patrick Troughton, Matt Smith
also
long colourful coats are cool - Colin Baker
Cannot believe Capaldi's low place man looks absolutely sick in every outfit
Apparently, the 5th Doctor had the celery to detect some form of gas that could poison him. If it was present in the air, the celery would turn brown or purple. Hope that helps :)
The Tennant debate: brown striped or blue?
I like the blue
I think I'll go brown striped.
Non but if I had to decide blue
Personally I preffered tenths blue suit over the brown suit and trenchcoat as when he wore the blue suit theres a good contrast between the suit and the white shirt but with the brown suit and trenchcoat there isn't any
How dare you put the 8th Doctor so low! That outfit is a WORK OF ART!!
12 ranks higher for me because Capaldi purposely chose cheap sunglasses and hoodies, etc, to make cosplay attainable for kids from low income houses.
Aw, that's really cool!
Colin Baker should've been given the blue outfit seen in real time. It would've matched his character better
Capaldi is excellent in all he did for the doctor, guitar and all.
I'm surprised you didn't mention 10's Converses. It presented a good contrast with the more formal looking suit.
I weirdly love the colourful coat on the 6th
yep. Such an iconic look
I love that Eight in his later Big Finish work now wears a leather jacket after his previous dandy style 😊
As a British Doctor Who nerd/fanatic/lover I disagree with your choice for why you ranked the 12th doctors clothes and character so far down on the list, Peter Capaldi did an amazing job as the twelfth doctor. The way he was able to show his old and weary mind in whilst still having a modern touch on every situation was remarkable and amazing. His clothes are good as well even though they aren’t and David Tennant but they still are simple with an effective point.
They're all pretty good, distinctive outfits but totally agree with T. Baker having the top spot - best and favourite Doctor. Capaldi would be my next one personally.
While I agree that poor Colin Baker must have gotten the wardrobe department's leftovers, it should be pointed out that Sylvester McCoy's outfit went truly off the deep end with the question marks - sweater, collars, umbrella handle... the guy even had a business card with a question mark on it, as I recall. Having said that, the modern Doctors' outfits do tend to be somewhat ordinary by comparison. (Although I thought Matt Smith's bowtie was a nice touch.) Peter Capaldi's coat was a nice attempt at "throwback" look.
2:20 There's a reason for the celery. In, "The Caves of Androzani", the Doctor explains it's a powerful Gallifrey restorative medicine that can also detect strong gasses that he himself is allergic to. When those gasses are present, the celery turns purple and he eats it to restore himself.
I love the behind-the-scenes story behind the fourth doctor scarf. Apparently, the costume lady was supposed to make two or three scarves and then somebody would pick one, but she took all the wool for those two or three scarves, and made just one really long one
"Joseph..." was the first thing that came to mind with Colin Baker's Doctor costume, even before you made the first joke. I've always thought that.
WTF Capaldi's wardrobe is STUNNING. To me he's by far the classiest and coolest of the lot!
Come on! 12th and 10th deserve be in first place!
Capaldi's black velvet caot with the white shirt and waistcoat are by far the best Doctor Who costume
