PG Picks: Passion for Fashion

Whether you like it or not, the Doctor is a bonafide fashion icon. Every Doctor has had a certain grandeur with his garb, so have a gander at Planet Gallifrey's pick of his top 5 fashion phenomenon.

5. ????????
The question marks may have been gaudy, but they certainly made an impression! It was probably also the only time the Doctor has referenced the show's name in his clothing... how very daring.

4. Fez' are cool
A relatively recent addition to the 'Who' fashion collection is the Eleventh Doctor's fez. Originally being a source of ridicule in the show, it was gracefully destroyed by River Song at the end of Series 5. I don't think anyone expected it to last long anyone, the red didn't suit him!

3. I'm wearing a vegetable!
The Fifth Doctor donning cricket attire was a marvellous decision, but what made it better was the piece of celery on his lapel. I mean, CELERY. You can't get any better than that, can you?

2. Conversely Speaking
Forget the brown pinstripe suit. Forget the coat that Janis Joplin gave him. The Converses that the Tenth Doctor wore were the 'it' thing of 2006. Not only did they perfectly sum up the Tenth Doctor, but they also became a trademark for Doctor Who fans everywhere (i.e. if you see someone wearing a Converse, they are probably a Doctor Who fan.) But leave the suit/Converse ensemble to the Doctor to pull off.


1. The Scarf
'The Scarf' and 'Doctor Who' almost go hand in hand, even to this day. The legendary knitted creation, supposedly made by Madame Nostradamus, was a personal favourite of the Fourth Doctor's with his bohemian attire. Apparently, Begonia Pope (who made the real scarf) was not told how long it was meant to be and subsequently, ended up using all the wool which was given to her. The producers loved it and it became the Fourth Doctor's trademark. There have also been many variations of the scarf popping up from time to time to cheekily reference it, including appearances in the 1996 movie and The Christmas Invasion.
