Dr. New
Matt Smith reveals the new doctor’s look
Each Doctor Who has their signature look, and the actor playing the doctor plays a large role in defining it. David Tennant chose his trench coat and chucks, Tom Baker had his massive, colorful scarf, and now Matt Smith, with the help of a costume designer, has revealed his signature Who style. It appears to be country professor punk dork. This is a style that is rarely intentional, and it’s definitely a nod to time travel, but I’m not sold. It’s nothing if not original, and I’m pretty sure we’ll see ill-fitting jackets, bow ties, rolled up jeans and Doc Martens on runways this fall, but does it create personality or is it just…fashion?
What’s your take?
