Now that Ncuti Gatwa has been named as the next Doctor in Doctor Who, it's a great time to look at the fashion sense of all the previous Doctors.

On the 9th May 2022, the next Doctor announced. Ncuti Gatwa will be taking the role forward into its next era, alongside returning showrunner Russell T. Davies. Despite his tenure not starting until sometime in 2023, fans are already speculating about what type of Doctor he will be.

And a big part of that speculation is based on what outfit Gatwa will wear. Every incarnation of the Doctor has come with a unique sense of fashion that tells a little about who they are. From Tenannt's converse-clad feet, to Tom Baker's rainbow-colored scarf, their outfit is the first clue viewers get to the new regeneration. But some hit the mark a little more than others.

The Fifth Doctor, played by Peter Davison, wore a cricket uniform, matching Panama hat, question mark collar shirt and celery on his lapel.

One of the first of the costume-like outfits from the eighties, this one comes across a bit bland and preppy. It's rather beige for the Doctor and doesn't really feel like something an alien would wear - apart from the question mark collar and celery.

The Thirteenth Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker, wears a trench coat,  rainbow stripe top, suspenders, capri pants, striped socks, and boots. She occasionally wears different outfits like the tuxedo in "Spyfall," or the clock waistcoat in "Villa of Diodati."

Whittaker's costumers could have experimented a bit more since she was the first female Doctor.  Her main outfit feels the most costume-like of the modern era. But the hodgepodge nature does make sense since she got it from a charity shop and the colors compliment her cheerful persona. The occasional different outfits stand out, drawing attention to the lack of variety in her wardrobe.

The Sixth Doctor, played by Colin Baker, wore a rainbow patchwork frock coat with cat pins, colorful waistcoats, shirt with question mark collar, and cravat. He sported striped pants and spats over green boots. In the Big Finish audios, he wears a similar blue suit.

Had he worn the rainbow patchwork coat with subtler clothing, it could have been less costume-like. It's loud and over the top - like the Sixth Doctor, but it's rather bright and overly cheerful for an incarnation that had a definite dark side. The costume could have used a bit more variety, like the blue suit he sometimes wears in Big Finish.

The Seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy, wore a white safari jacket, paisley handkerchief, tartan scarf, question mark sweater vest, and paisley tie, with plaid pants and spectator shoes. Later, he wore a dark brown jacket and navy and red accessories.

Seven's outfit is still part of the more costume-like eighties, but feels most like something someone could actually wear from the era. The question marked sweater feels slightly alien, but it's not overly distracting. The change from light to darker shades goes well with his arc of becoming more of a master manipulator.

The Ninth Doctor is played by Christopher Eccleston. He wore a black leather jacket, dark V-neck sweater, dark pants, and black Doc Martens.

This is by far the least Doctor-like costume, however it works for his character. Nine is still fresh from the Time War and struggling with feeling like the Doctor again. He's no-nonsense and rugged so it makes sense for his costume to be the same. A more whimsical and colorful costume would not have suited his character as much.

The War Doctor, played by John Hurt, wears a leather trench coat, moleskin double-breasted waistcoat, scarf, corduroy pants, and combat boots.

We only saw the War Doctor once, and his outfit suited him well since he fought in the Time War and is fresh off the battlefield.  His leather coat is battered and aged, talking of the years spent fighting.

The First Doctor, played by William Hartnell, wore a black velvet town coat, tweed waistcoat, white shirt, ribbon tie, tartan pants, and boots. He would sometimes wear a cape, scarf and hat, or clothing to blend into different settings.

This costume was very formal and old-fashioned, which fits his older, testier persona. His main wardrobe was limited, however, this look suited him so well that he didn't need much else. Fans can see how his wardrobe elements (velvet jacket, waistcoat, and tartan pants) influenced some later incarnations' wardrobes, particularly the Third and Twelfth Doctors.

The Second Doctor, played by Patrick Troughton, wore similar clothes to his first incarnation but had a far more messy appearance. He wore high-waisted pants held up by suspenders, a worn oversized frock coat, a plain shirt, a crooked bowtie, and black ankle boots.

This look perfectly encapsulates the Second Doctor's younger, more clownish persona. It's interesting that while this incarnation has similar elements to his previous incarnation, the new spin gives a totally different vibe than that older and more uptight look. The Second Doctor's costume is also influential to the Eleventh Doctor's appearance, particularly his bowtie.

The Tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant, is often considered the best Doctor.  He usually either wore a pinstriped suit, dress shirt, and patterned tie; or a similar blue suit equivalent. He wore a brown duster jacket and a variety of Converse All-Stars. He would occasionally wear a tuxedo with his sneakers for special occasions.

The Tenth Doctor's costume is one of the most iconic of the modern era. When the general public picture the Doctor, if it's not the Fourth Doctor then it's usually the Tenth Doctor. The Tenth Doctor's costume is odd in that it's a contradiction - the suit is dressy, but the sneakers are casual. His clothes feel somewhere between a costume and an actual wardrobe.

Arguably the saddest Doctor, the eleventh was played by Matt Smith. His first outfit was a tweed sports jacket, dress shirt, bowtie, suspenders, pants, and laced boots. He frequently wore a Fez or Stetson hat. He later retired in Victorian London where he wore a frock coat, velvet waistcoat, and top hat. After meeting Clara Oswald, he shifted to a purple frock coat, waistcoats, bowtie, suspenders, jeans, and brown boots.

This Doctor is remembered for his bowtie and Fez. His outfits match perfectly his persona of an old man in a young man's body. His suspenders, tweed jacket, and bow tie evoke the look of a grandfather, which contrasts well with Smith's twentysomething appearance. His more severe Victorian look shows his depression after Amy and Rory's parting.  And his costume evolves again when he meets Clara and is trying to impress her.

The Fugitive Doctor, played by Jo Martin, wore a blue frock coat, frilled kente top, waistcoat, pants, and black Doc Martens.

Despite only making a few appearances, she has made a very big impression. Her costume immediately gets across her status as the Doctor in a way that is her own - such as the new element of her kente top, while building on more familiar elements like the Doc Martens that evoke the Twelfth Doctor. The militaristic elements, like the frock coat and double-breasted waistcoat, hint at her time working for the Division on Gallifrey.

The Fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker, wore a blazer, loose tweed pants, cardigan, and leather boots, all topped with a memorably long rainbow scarf. In later years, he wore a maroon coat, waistcoat, shirt with question mark collar, pants, burgundy scarf, leather boots, and poet's hat.

This is one of the most iconic looks of the classic era. Fans often think of the Fourth Doctor's scarf when they picture the Doctor. Both outfits suit his bohemian persona despite one being far more costume-like than the other. The first outfit feels a little bit like something a real person would wear, whereas his later outfit is the start of the more costume-like outfits of the eighties (and the first to feature question marks).

The Eighth Doctor, played by Paul McGann, first wore a Wild Bill Hickock costume - including a velvet frock coat, paisley waistcoat, and cravat. Later he wore a t-shirt, leather peacoat, jeans, and sneakers.  Even later he wore a  moleskin overcoat, waistcoat, ascot tie, and British Army boots.

The Eighth Doctor's outfits are interesting because he starts out with a literal costume, and then his outfits get less costume-like and more rugged. This mirrors his arc of starting off very romantic and idealist, before becoming more disillusioned, which becomes more apparent as he nears the Time War.

The Third Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee, wore a variety of different frilled shirts, smoking jackets, waistcoats, cravats, and capes.

This Doctor had a distinctive style, which definitely evoked the kind of James Bond Doctor he was, with his debonaire, fancy suits. While these outfits could be seen as costume-like, they evoked his personality perfectly. His style was influential to the Twelfth Doctor, who shared his love of velvet jackets.

The Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, first wore a Crombie coat, cardigan, shirt, pants, and black boots. The costume later incorporated jumpers and hoodies. Once cultivating his rock star side, he wore patterned t-shirts underneath his hoodie and coat, with plaid pants.

Twelve has the most varied wardrobe. He can be formal or casual in equal measure, and his outfits are tied to character development. In the beginning, when he's unsure of himself and sterner, he's very buttoned-up, but as he relaxes a bit more (particularly under Clara's influences) his fashion becomes less severe. His outfits tell a definite story arc and feel the most lived in.
