In the spirit of transparency, I’ll admit I’ve never been consistent in watching and keeping up with Doctor Who. Even the biggest Whovian can admit that it’s a bit of a commitment, and I just never found the time to be involved enough where I understood everything that was happening at all times. Of course, then it was announced Jodie Whittaker would take the reigns of the TARDIS next season, making The Doctor a woman for the first time. This was as good a reason as any to finally get completely caught up. And in my rewatch, I found appreciation for a companion that got a lot of undeserved hate: Clara Oswald.

Clara seemed to be the scapegoat for a lot of fans’ problems with seasons 7-9 of Doctor Who. And those problems had nothing to do with her “being the worst.” Often, these “problems” were really just poorly-executed storylines and/or misogyny. I’m not jumping on that bandwagon, though. I really enjoyed Clara. I thought, despite a lot of things, her character developed over those 2.5 seasons and her relationship with The Doctor was the most complex one I’ve seen yet.

But, you know what I’m really here to talk about. And that’s how Clara Oswald is the best-dressed companion Doctor Who has seen yet, so let’s take a peek into her wardrobe.
