The Best and Worst Doctor Who Fashions - Ranked!

14. Matt Smith >
Matt Smith might have the most memorable doctor costume in years – and not in a good way. Thanks to that bow tie, suspenders and tweed jacket, he looked like a cross between the lost fifth member of the Libertines and a comic book mad scientist. It was apparently Smith's work: he chose the bow tie because it was reminiscent of a suit worn by Patrick Troughton in the late 60s.

In the early 80s, the eccentricity of Doctor Who aesthetics was changing – and, one might say, struggling. Davison's look is the result. An Edwardian cricket outfit - complete with umpire hat and striped trousers - is a curiosity. Add the unexplained bodice and celery ball in Davison's pocket and the entire look seems a little 'kerazy' consciously.
