How do these Time Lord outfits relate to their characters?

As the brief blurb points out, Tennant’s Fourteenth Doctor costume is very reminiscent of his former appearance as the Tenth Doctor. Although the outfit is not identical to that of the Tenth Doctor, the details of his costume, such as the iconic inverted shoes, are reminiscent of his former look. Gatwas, on the other hand, are a stark contrast to Tennant’s more demure look. The Fifteenth Doctor’s vintage shoes are almost ringmaster-esque in style, adding to the overall vibrancy of the look.

Tennant’s look could be good news for Doctor who fans looking for the show to return to the sensibilities it had in the beloved Tenth Doctor era. Based on some receptions, the show’s canon-breaking Jodie Whittaker seasons were a disappointing break from the show’s form. Showrunner Russell T. Davis has promised that the upcoming Doctor who episodes will be a return to his roots. Hopefully that will manifest first in the Fourteenth Doctor remembering the Tenth, not only in style but also in strength of character.

If Gatwa’s style also mimics the character, the Fifteenth Doctor could be a much more flamboyant and up-tempo rendition of the Time Lord. This latest full look is likely to be one of many looks for the Fifteenth Doctor, as previous reports have indicated that Gatwa’s Doctor will break tradition by adding multiple Doctor who costumes. Hopefully Gatwa is the other one Doctor who appearance can capture the lively spirit as the SDCC costume does.
