Ooh! He looks like a magician!

[elisi]

LOL! That's a good description! :)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Sober, but… lovely :D

[elisi]

Sober. Oh that's a good description.

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Classy works too… ^_^

[elisi]

I miss my drunk giraffe with his bow tie...

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Oh dearie, me too! ;P We can still rewatch all his episodes, though… (Matt's costumes remain my favourites ♥)

[elisi]

Also, I guess they needed something paired down... Eleven had eccentricity in overflowing, they had to go the other way. (Like Four & Five.)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's a good point. I expected sober yet with a more pronounced original touch, but this is nice! ^_^

[elisi]

And you never know... Maybe he'll get a fez along the way! :)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha oh dear ♥

[elisi]

Clara could put it one him! :)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

She'd have to get over the amazement of seeing him walk past it first! ;)

[elisi]

Indeed...

[promethia_tenk]

As soon as I heard that line, you just knew there would be a scene coming when Capaldi picks up a fez, goes 'meh,' and tosses it over his shoulder.

Can't not happen.

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

I NEED TO SEE THIS. XD

[kikimay]

I don't know. I like the top but I have mixed feelings about the pants and the shiny shoes.

[elisi]

It might evolve...

[kikimay]

I hope so. And of course I have to watch him in action (Because some clothes work on some people and not on others) it's just that I loved the previous shoes XD I liked both the converse and Eleventh's boots.

[elisi]

Like a_phoenixdragon says below 'I'm guessing whatever the suit lacks, the Doctor will 'fill in' personality-wise!' - and the shoes... Well, how long will they STAY shiny, that's the question. *g*

[gratiela.livejournal.com]

I saw this on FB and the shoes got me excited the most - I love LOVE that sewn pattern!<3 I didn't even notice they're shiny, ahahahah, I thought they're just new..
I also appreciate the red lining of the coat!
I can't wait to see him in action!

[elisi]

Yes, I think once we see him/the suit in action it'll work beautifully. :)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

I saw it by accident, but I'm kinda glad I did! Simple, yet elegant. Very telling (the things that are missing) and I'm guessing whatever the suit lacks, the Doctor will 'fill in' personality-wise!

[elisi]

Very telling (the things that are missing)
Indeed.

and I'm guessing whatever the suit lacks, the Doctor will 'fill in' personality-wise!
LOL. Yes, you're probably right. And Nine's outfit was far more stark, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

[promethia_tenk]

And Nine's outfit was far more stark, so I'm sure it'll be fine.
Nine's outfit came to mind to me too. Every other Doctor had . . . something of interest.

[elisi]

Well this one is certainly stylish. And the splash of red is nice.

[independence1776]

Wow! I like it.

[elisi]

Very stylish, and very him.

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

Looks like he's dressed like Downton Abbey's butler...

[elisi]

*sporfle*

Don't say that to his face, he'll rip you a new one... :D

New Cossie!

From bow tie to no tie!

It very much puts me in mind of Three's outfit, minus the frills. Three has always been my favorite Doctor, so this is especially fun for me.

It's just occurred to me that he is technically the fourteenth incarnation, and his first series is running in 2014.

That's EXACTLY what I thought too! :D

That's... neat. :)

I also just noticed his wearing a ring on his left hand. Wonder what that's all about!

[elisi]

*brings out magnifying glass*

So he is. Huh. That'll be interesting.

[honeynoir.livejournal.com]

It looks nice, yeah. I love the lining! (I just want to stick a ridic cardie or a cat pin or something in there, but that'll undoubtedly pass when we see the outfit on the show, at which point such things just will seem wrong.)

[elisi]

My thoughts too. (Even though I'm sure I'll keep missing Mr Tawdry Quirks...)

[honeynoir.livejournal.com]

(Oh, yes, so very much. Elevennnn. And since we're talking about clothes: have you seen this art? No question who any of them are, but Eleven's is just so... Eleven.)

[elisi]

I had not seen that, no. Thank you! I now have a new wallpaper. :)

[honeynoir.livejournal.com]

That wallpaper is my new favourite. (And now I want to make a Twelve silhouette...)

[elisi]

Mmmmm, yes. :)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that splash of red! Can't wait to see it in action, the still photos never do these costumes justice. So ready!

[elisi]

A hint of danger... I think it'll work well. *crosses fingers*

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL.

We will see when he is in motion.

[elisi]

At least now we know. I'm sure it'll be fine, we just need to get used to it.

[maggietimelord.livejournal.com]

Not too shabby. I'll be able to appreciate it better in real shots. Action shots on white screen are .... yuck ... for me.

[elisi]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[maggietimelord.livejournal.com]

I've seen some photos from the filming today. The costume works. It's somewhere in the evolutionary process of New Who.
The Doctor has tended to dress more eccentric than alien in recent years.

[elisi]

It's that back & forth... Like Moffat said about Four - he had eccentricity down to a fine art. And then Five came along and was just completely down to earth and earnest. You need that switch. And after Eleven, you really couldn't go for eccentricity without it seeming like a rip-off...
