" Peter Capaldi is a brilliant actor, and, with a new season of Dr. Who underway on BBC America, he&amp;#039;s well on his way to being a brilliant Doctor. The current incarnation of the character is a darker doctor, an older doctor, a statelier doctor. The Time Lord now looks ... lordly. Don&amp;#039;t believe us? Here&amp;#039;s proof, in the form of a top-down analysis of the Twelfth Doctor&amp;#039;s style: Crombie coat, red lining. Capaldi&amp;#039;s main affectation is a three-quarter length crombie coat with a blazing red silk lining. The look is both a nod to the classic magician getup and to the red-lined jacket worn by Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor. Capaldi typically only buttons the top button. Why? It reduces the amount of visible shirt, drawing attention to the\u2026 Invisible tie. An invisible tie (collar: buttoned; tie: missing) is the choice look for an interstellar man of mystery. After all, who has more secrets than a 2,000-year-old Time Lord? The look is high fashion meets High Street: part runway, part run away. No scarf. In the first episode of the new season, the Twelfth Doctor briefly considers donning a long scarf\u2014a nod to Tom Baker&amp;#039;s sartorial choice as the Fourth Doctor\u2014but quickly recants: &amp;quot;No, I&amp;#039;ve moved on from that. Looked stupid.&amp;quot; Smart move. The hardest part of developing your style is knowing when to ditch a look. Waistcoat. The original doctors drew from Victorian getups (read: waistcoats, cravats, puffy shirts). Capaldi keeps the tradition alive with a waistcoat that&amp;#039;s un-stuffy enough to be confused for a cardigan. We approve. Pleated trousers. Down below, the Twelfth Doctor sports pleated trousers that taper aggressively and run long, bunching at the ankles. The result is a military silhouette, which might explain... Dr. Martens boots, polished. Because you never know when you might need to curb stomp a Dalek. Dr. Who airs on BBC America Saturdays at 8 P.M. ET. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
