It was great fun dressing as a male Doctor Who character last week so I thought I might attempt it again!
This time, I am choosing Peter Capaldi, the previous Doctor as my inspiration.
Peter Capaldi wore this outfit in an episode called The Eaters of Light which made use of the missing Roman legion as its storyline.
In this episode, he wore his ubiquitous black velvet jacket. Underneath it, he wore a navy blue zipped hoodie. Underneath this, he wears a black knitted jumper with coloured paint splatters over it and a black jumper underneath that. It must have been very cold when filming this!
On his bottom half, he wears black or navy trousers and black boots.

I began with the paint-splattered jumper. I managed to acquire the screen-accurate jumper a year ago or so as I saw it for sale and thought it might be quite tactical to buy it when I saw it for a cheap price in case someone was willing to swap a Clara item for it (you'd be surprised how cosplayers manage to acquire items for this purpose). Alas, I've not had the opportunity to swap it, but in the meantime, I've grown quite fond of this big, comfy jumper.
Over the top, I added CBC's navy hoodie. I wore a pair of black trousers and black boots.
Over the top, I was going to add a black coat of similar shape to Peter Capaldi's but I could not get my arms into the sleeves with all these layers on!!! So instead, I added the black coat I bought in the charity shop with Hazel and Sophie.
The shape, buttons and length are wrong, but they'll do!
