The Thirteenth Doctor’s Feminine, Feminist, Freewheeling Style

By Jordan Ellis January 8, 2019

The Thirteenth Doctor’s costume had to be exceptional, while also balancing an almost impossible set of contradictions. It had to reflect the character’s history, while also letting the first woman Doctor stand out on her own. It had to be grounded in women’s fashion, while also navigating its political and practical pitfalls. It had to be a little odd and a little offbeat to be true to the Doctor, while also serving as the cornerstone of a rebranding effort that could be duplicated, packaged, and sold around the world.

The 13th Doctor Is Your Go-To Style Icon This Season

By Tristan George November 11, 2018

Try and tell me the 13th Doctor’s style isn’t effortlessly perfect. I dare you.

The response to the 13th Doctor’s costume has been overwhelmingly positive since long before her season premiered. In fact, if you pick up a copy of The Sartorial Geek Magazine Issue 03, it features a great article all about her style. Feminine but practical and not losing that quirky Doctor charm, there really is a lot to love about her look. Her trenchcoat, her lace-up boots, her ethereally cool blue culottes, and who could forget the yellow suspenders? What’s not to love?

I’ll answer that for you: nothing, obviously. She is flawless and so is her outfit. So flawless, in fact, that I’m urging you all to take a page out of her style book at your earliest convenience. While suspenders and culottes might be a little harder for your average human to embrace, the current rainbow stripe trend will make it especially easy to embrace your inner doctor this fall.

Except For That Time: Political and Social Awareness in Doctor Who

When Segun Akinola, a black man, was recently named the new composer of Doctor Who we heard it. We heard the cries and tweets of people who identify as long time fans of Doctor Who degrading the show because it has become “too politically correct and too social justice warrior influenced.”
