Doctor Who fandom is brimming with excitement as Saturday’s 50th anniversary special draws closer. Fans have been catching up on their show history and watching every pre-anniversary minisode, but now it’s time to plan for the big day!
If you’re attending a party or just hanging out at home to celebrate the milestone, you should take a page from the Doctor’s playbook—he’s quite a style-minded Time Lord, after all—and start thinking about what to wear. Whether you want to be subtle or just throw on your favorite logo T-shirt, there’s no end to the ways you can show you’re a diehard Whovian this weekend.
Don’t know where to start? Here are five of our favorite Tumblrs for Doctor Who fashion inspiration.

There’s no denying the Doctor is stylish, with his bow ties and colorfully long scarves, but let’s not forget his companions. From Rose Tyler to Clara Oswald, many of the TARDIS’ visitors have their own unique styles that can inspire your look. There’s no need to wear a Doctor Who shirt if you don’t want to. Be more subtle with the help of Companion Clothing. Try putting together a companion-inspired outfit and see how many people can guess who you are.
