Hello there!
I hope you are well! Today, I thought I'd share a closet cosplay that I've been meaning to do for about 3 years and finally got around to doing!
It is the final outfit worn by the 11th Doctor, played by Matt Smith.

He wears his trademark Bowtie- purple or navy. A blue textured shirt, A purple suede frock coat, a grey/blue textured waistcoat, black/navy trousers and purple brooch boots.

And here's my version- concocted from things I own anyway!
My waistcoat came from La Redoute a while back and is a sparkly/shiny grey colour. Again, it's not the same shape but serves as part of the whole look!
I added my silver pocket watch which was a 16th birthday present from my Godsister!
My bowtie came from the Vintage Emporium in Hexham. CBC does have a purple one but I didn't manage to find it for the photos!
We found some good locations to pose by in Maldon- this door looks vaguely TARDISesque!
Rather than go for a trousers look, I decided to make it a feminine version of the outfit and added my black velvet Topshop skaterskirt and black tights.
The final touch is my Clarks Men's purple Brogue boots that I bought back in 2019. They are fleece-lined and very robust
It was a fun outfit to wear and I felt smart. Luckily, nobody mistook me for the waiting staff at our Afternoon tea. It was a lovely occasion which I will post about soon!
What do you think?
Would any aspect of this outfit work for you?

Your purple Clarks boots are awesome! I would wear them in a heartbeat. I am pretty sure that the Doctor is wearing a tweed frock coat - that does not look like suede in the pics at all (you note it's suede just above the 2nd pic).
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect gender-bend of this look, Kezzie! love the whole thing!
I don't know why I wrote suede since I know it's tweed!!! Must have been tired!!!x
DeleteYour take on the 11th doctor's outfit is absolutely fabulous, Kezzie! I'm swooning over your purple coat! xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha, brilliant, I love it! I'll put my name down for the boots too please. Plus Matt Smith (have been enjoying him in House of Dragons) ;) x
ReplyDeleteFantastico! I absolutely love that purple coat and the use of that wonderful door as a pseudo tardis is inspired! xxx
