Iâm a big fan of most of 12âs outfits, but particularly the S9 hoodie looks, with The Girl Who Died being probably my favorite. S10 also has a lot of great looks, but I think something about the S9 looks really work the best for me, plus S9 introduces the spectacular red velvet coat.
13âs took a bit of time to grow on me, but once I realized how great that coat looks in motion it became one of my favorites, and now Iâm actually putting together a full 13 cosplay and honestly something about the outfit makes me feel super great and confident. Sheâs got a lot less variance than 12 did, but I do generally find that the main wide collar navy shirt is my favorite, and I also prefer the blue braces that she wears in Flux and the specials over the yellow ones. My favorite variant is probably the dark coat, which was used so spectacularly as a symbolic costume change rather than a standard variant.
I also voted 15, as while weâve seen lots of costumes from him, I believe this one is possibly supposed to be the âmainâ one, and immediately stands out as one of the best looking outfits of the show, and I absolutely love the long leather coat.

Oh and I should give a shoutout to the actual costume designers behind these! Pam Downe is the new costume designer responsible for 15âs outfits (as well as 14âs) and Iâm already incredibly impressed by everything weâve seen from her.
All of 13âs costuming as well as the S9 12 looks that I pointed out as favorites are the work of the incredible Ray Holman, who is my favorite costume designer of the show, and is also responsible for 11âs original S5 costumes (which I personally believe are better than the S6-7 ones, although the 7B looks are close), as well as the Fugitive Doctorâs (which I very nearly put above 15 as my 3rd place)

Itâs Eleven for me - but more his long purple coat phase.
And Iâm here to say that when they started dressing 12 in whatever Capaldi rocked up to recording in, I wasnât impressed. I hate the hoodie look - itâs just far too casual and âmodern dayâ for the Doctor - he should wear clothes that make him stand out not blend in.
I think Iâm going to like Ncutiâs ever-changing wardrobe.

I think in a vacuum I prefer 11âs 7B outfit, especially as I think long coats are very doctor-y, but it never quite feels right to me after so long with the tweed jacket and always feels a bit too formal for 11.
Your consistency in having bad takes about 12 is almost impressive /lh

That sounds like youâre trying to avoid saying that you donât like themâŚ
In which case I very much mean bad takes, and perhaps even that you hate fun /lh

Thereâs just something about this outfit of the 7th Doctorâs that I think is so charming.
I really want to dislike the ??? pullover, but I canât bring myself to that.

Personally I can very easily bring myself to dislike it lol. I probably would put 7âs as my least favorite outfit, but I can see why it appeals to people

Also if we didnât have that pullover we wouldnât have this glorious cosplay version

Both 4s Season 16/17 outfits and 8s Time War costumeâs follow the same basic silhouette that I really love, the long, flowing and heavy coats with tall boots tucked into breeches, topped with waistcoats and cravats. It gives them both such adventurous, dashing vibes, a mix of the practical and the refined that I think fits the Doctor as a character to T.
Kind of on the opposite end of the spectrum, I think the Fourteenthâs costume is both a really nice modern update to 10s and adds a timelessness to it that I feel like 10s didnât. The coatâs more formal cut in comparison to 10s duster and the change from the jacket to the waistcoat adds a dash of the Classicâs formality to it as well that I feel is really fitting too.

Just thought Iâd mention that I really liked this Doctor outfit when I saw it.
Of course, sometimes you end up noticing what feel a lot like Doctor outfits in non-Doctor Who showsâŚ

My favourites are:
Eleven: Specifically his second outfit. He made me wear bowties for formal occasions (they are cool, after all), and his looks are sleek but not too mundane.
Nine: That leather jacket screams cool and dark to me, which is what Nine is. Simple, but effective!
Four: Itâs so ridiculous that itâs an instant classic! That overlong scarf, the burgundy/grey jacket, and the occasional hat. Iconic!
I agree with what @deltaandthebannermen said earlier: I find Twelveâs outfit too modern and casual. I liked his original outfit, but the fact that they kept altering it irritated me. To me, the Doctorâs outfit is part of who they are as much as their personality and quirks, which is why Iâm not very excited about Doctors who constantly change their outfits. Iâm a bit worried about Ncuti because theyâve released that publicity shot with his official outfit (which looks great on him!), but it seems like he barely wears it in the upcoming season! Permit him to wear it, for the love of God, so that he may attain the same level of notoriety as the others.

Snap! After the Eleventh Doctor started wearing bow ties, I got lots of them and started wearing them instead of ties. Always a conversation-starter. I even have a burgandy bow tie designed as a replica for the one Eleven wore.
Whilst I agree that the Doctor having an âoutfitâ is good to show their personality and for âbrand awarenessâ I guess, I do also think it can sometimes be a bit ridiculous for them to wear the same thing no matter what time zone they are going to. Iâm the opposite, super excited to see all the outfits the Fifteenth Doctor is going to wear

I agree that I preferred Capaldiâs more âDoctorishâ looks (especially the Pertwee-esque coat with the red lining). But agree that his constant changing was distracting - I think itâs because the looks werenât varied enough or anything to do with where they were (with a couple of exceptions such as what he wears in Mummy on the Orient Express). I like the idea that Ncuti is going to dress for the era, whilst clearly still retaining the Doctorish elements. I particularly like the styling he has for The Devilâs Chord.
