The Last Alchemist doesn’t reveal how he got his hands on these photos. He says:
Photos taken on the days Matt Smith chose his 11th Doctor costume. Some pretty cool variations before finally deciding “bow-ties are cool”.
Here’s a couple. This one? Way too boy-band:
Way too gothy-hipster:
Oh. My:
Matt Smith, charming as he may be, has never inspired me to say this before, but… I will be in my bunk.

That last one is definitely going to make the fangirls swoon.
Every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed man.
Now I can’t get that video out of my head. Curse you, 80s music videos!
It has to be said, he does dress up well.
The interesting thing here is how there was, at one point, the thought of dressing him to play up to his youth. I’ve heard that the bow tie was Matt’s idea, which lead to dressing him in a way diametrically opposed to his youth. A much better choice, IMHO.
Yes, most of these are too indie rock/boy band. The suit is spectacular, but too much like David’s look. I also liked the white t-shirt/dark vest/dark slacks/dark jacket look, but that might have been too much like Christopher’s look.
