Ncuti Gatwa’s long-awaited appearance as the 15th Doctor has just been revealed and is causing a stir on social media.each doctor Doctor Who redefines the character and the Doctor’s wardrobe, with actors such as John Pertwee, Tom Baker, and David Tennant all wearing iconic costumes as Time Lords.
Ncuti Gatwa is an inspired casting choice and a very fashionable actor. So, after much costume speculation, it was revealed in December that Ncuti would wear a plaid outfit: a long plaid coat over an orange jumper, plaid pants, and brown brogue-style boots. This costume is sure to evolve, but it’s a great starting point. Fans quickly took to the web to share the small details that give the costume its character.
10/10 Fans love the plaid doctor
Each of the Doctor’s outfits had key features and signature items, such as scarves, bow ties, and Converse shoes. Ncuti’s defining feature seems to be the plaid pattern that dominates both his coat and trousers, which seems to be a very classic design for his load of time, and fans are calling this a return to the classics. I regard it as
The Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) wore baggy plaid trousers, similar to the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy). Some consider it a tribute to the tradition ofI must say fans are very happy to see the nod to the classic Doctor Who in costume.
9/10 It looks like orange is the color that stands out
Not only is the classic plaid design loved by fans, but the costume is also firmly in the present. Ncuti seems to be wearing a very youthful bright orange jumper. Each Doctor has a key color scheme, and orange seems to be his fifteenth.
Other than a few touches here and there, orange isn’t a color usually associated with the Doctor. So it’s exciting to see an all-new color scheme for the Time Lords. The strong hues also indicate that this will be a more colorful and fashionable version of the character than fans have seen in a while.
8/10 Different vibe than Nine, but same style
When producer Russell T Davies returned Doctor Who When Christopher Ecclestone took over as the Ninth Doctor in 2005, he paid close attention to the Doctor’s wardrobe.
Russell has since returned to the show, seemingly recreating the simplicity of the Ninth Doctor’s costume. Ncuti is a completely different Doctor, with a very different feel, but the same template. Ncuti’s stripped-down look is very reminiscent of Eccleston’s, and fans are happy to see it.
7/10 Ncuti mustache for the first time
The Doctor is mostly depicted as a shaved-head hero. The only exception to this rule is the Peter His Cushing spinoff. Doctor Who and John Hurt’s war-torn doctor. Ncuti thus becomes the first long-term physician to sport some form of facial hair.
Fans weren’t sure if Ncuti would keep facial hair after his first image was released, but it seems he does. As well as creating the look, many fans see it as a slight nod to Peter Cushing. Doctor Who movie. Whether it’s an obscure reference or a coincidence, fans love it.
6/10 Ncuti’s short hair is also a new idea
Oddly enough, only hair is as iconic as the Doctor’s wardrobe. Doctors showed long hair, short hair, curly hair, spiky hair, gray hair. When Ecclestone was cast, fans were curious to see him perform a shorter haircut than fans had seen character sports before.
Ncuti seems to take a very similar approach. In silhouette, he cuts out a very definite figure. They keep his haircut short and tight and seem uninterested in playing with long hairstyles.
5/10 Fifteen share Eleven’s love of Tweed
Matt Smith played an iconic figure as the Eleventh Doctor. Smith’s wacky professor look with his bow tie and tweed jacket was a great reinvention for this character. Many fans have noticed the similarities in appearance between Ncuti and Smith.
Ncuti looks like he’s wearing a tweed-like coat as well — a very different style to Smith’s, but the similarities are there. It reminds me of a cool doctor and gives the character a very stylish outline.
With the exception of Doctor Five and Doctor Ten, the Doctors are mostly characters who wear formal shoes and occasionally boots, and Ncuti seems to be no exception. His Time Lord seems to have bought himself a pair of nice brogue his style boots.
The classic Doctor Tom Baker was another Doctor who first wore brown brogues, and there are many other Doctors who wore similar boots. While out in the wild, these definitely have a different identity to them.
3/10 Ncuti doctors sport Gallifreyan nail tattoos.
One detail of Ncuti’s costume that pleased many fans was his Gallifreyan nail tattoo. Surprisingly, Ncuti isn’t the first doctor to have some form of tattoo.
Third Doctor John Pertwee had a prominent arm tattoo that many fans spotted in the 1970s. But Ncuti’s tattoo feels more attractive and youthful. It’s the small touches to his appearance that fans seem to be excited about, no doubt giving his incarnation a decidedly youthful, even punk vibe.
2/10 doctors love jewelry
William Hartnell (First Doctor) laid the foundation for the Doctor’s wardrobe in 1963. The ring was his one of many accessories he wore frequently, and since then several Doctors have likewise incorporated some form of jewelry into the Doctor’s style. The Third and his Twelfth Doctor also wore rings, and several others wore items such as the keys to his TARDIS and his necklaces and earrings.
Ncuti’s Doctor seems to have kept the character’s jewelry taste. Ncuti appears to be wearing multiple necklaces on top of her jumper and lots of rings on her hands. These little touches seem to inject Ncuti’s personality into the Time Lord, and fans just can’t get enough of it.
1/10 Outfit helps evolution
Basically every Doctor has some evolution in their costume. In fact, Doctors like Three and Ten seemed to change some element of their costume almost every week. Ncuti’s costume may look stripped down, but fans believe this will help with some interesting changes in the future.
Audiences hope Ncuti will continue to play that role for years to come, and this outfit is a great starting point. There are sure to be many small changes to Fifteen’s wardrobe, and the prospect is very exciting for fans who can’t wait to see more of it.
