Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood or Doctor Who. Everyone belongs to BBC... sadly I am just borrowing them!

Clothes don't always make the man. A man can have a fancy tailored suit and nice polished shoes but they don't necessarily make the man who wears them. A man can wear a long grey Military coat and big brown boots but they do not necessarily make the man who wears them either.

A man can wear a leather jacket and jeans, but they don't necessarily make the man who wears them. A man can wear a blue suit and red trainers with a long brown coat but they don't necessarily make the man who wears them. A man can wear a pinstriped jacket, black trousers and a bow tie, but they don't necessarily make the man who wears them.

A man can wear nicely tailored suit jackets, dark trousers and a thigh length over coat but they don't necessarily make the man who wears them.

All of these men, they wear the clothes they feel safe in. They wear the clothes that suit them and make them happy.

They wear these clothes to reflect them. A man may own twenty well tailored suits, but he won't necessarily wear them all as his clothes don't always make him, him.

Yeah, they choose the clothes that best fit who they are rather than adapting themselves to fit the clothes. That's why each incarnation of the Doctor has a different style; the clothes he wore before no longer fit him, not just physically, but also personality-wise. He has to find what works for his new self.
