What should Sarah wear in Series Two?

[Llin]

What sort of outfits would you like to see in Series Two?
(Keep it clean, guys...)
I'd like to see a biker jacket, more variation in shoes - perhaps some stilettos, something a bit retro, something over-the-top, a hat, more of the Coat of Awesome, reading glasses, and some kind of silly historical costume that she has to wear for some reason...

[Stardoe]

Oh. Considering that 30 yrs ago I really wanted to have Sarah's clothes and now 30 yrs later I'm still wanting Sarah's clothes [although 30 yrs ago they would have actually fitted me, unlike now,lol] I've been giving some thought to her clothing. I would like to see her in a dress or skirt more often. Something a bit gypsified with the long boots still. Please please please no leggings. It might be ok for the teens but for anyone over 20....I think it to be the silliest fashion fad ever. Short boots and stockings would be fine. I liked the first dress she wore, although not the material. Too clingy. I was hoping her clothes would remain a bit quirky. I like the reading glasses idea because I've just had to bite the bullet and get some for myself. She did mention she needed them in Invasion of the Bane. I would like to see her out one night with some friend, at a posh do where she has to wear an evening dress. A nice one that is not too young for her but not some dowdy granny dress either. And not black. I would also like to see many different outfits. I know we all wear our same clothes over and over but I thought the wardrobe people were a bit repetitious with all the characters' clothes in series 1. I like Sarah in jeans but perhaps some different colours or different coloured boots that vary in length and material. Like the first ones she wore in Bane.

I have to actually comment on Maria's clothes. Very very odd but very very cute. I assume that this is the latest craze in teen wear in the UK. The seperates have just arrived here but the mixed together look hasn't quite made it. However, I managed to put together several outfits for my brood and they are very proud to be running around town dressed in the latest British teen fashions. They have Maria outfits and Chrissy outfits. All I need is a few Sarah outfits and we can all be SJA fashion tragics.

[Llin]

Ooh, I like all of those ideas. And Maria's clothes are adorable! I'm thinking of doing a seperate little bit of the site for outfits other than SJ's.
Maria's clothes are, I think, fairly odd even for British teenagers - I don't really know that many of them to observe closely, but Maria's stuff seems pretty quirky, but not way out.
I just thought, as well - we haven't seen Sarah wear a skirt yet, really. OK, she wore a dress in IotB, but in the main series she's just worn jeans every single week, and it's a shame because we know from School Reunion how great she looks in a skirt.
More skirts, please! If anyone out there is listening or cares!

[Stardoe]

Yes but no tweed please. I liked the style of the skirt suit she wore in School Reunion but I'm not a fan of tweed or tweed-like material. To me it's only something the Queen should be wearing; or some old bloke going out to hunt pheasant or quail; or some old woman's skirt. Tweed is for old people [and yes I know SJ is old now but she's a youthful old person] I remember going to London to visit my friend who worked in Harrods and I was appalled to see her, at age 24, wearing a tweed skirt. Nah! Not tweed. I'd like to see her come out in those pale bluish/whitish boots that she wore in Robot. The whole outfit could suit today's fashions. It's anything goes right now. There are even those horrible patterned halter top long dresses that were the rage in the 70's available in shops now. Bluckgh!!!! I think SJ should wear skirts and tops like she's been wearing with or without boots. Maybe people could take pics of things they see in shops and post the pics for us to look at, if that is possible. SJ's wardrobe ideas. Email them to the wardrobe department, ha ha.  

[sarah_janesmith]

she should wear the andy pandy overalls again, or at least mention them!!!

[sarah_janesmith]

i like marias clothes, at least she doesnt dress "inapropiatly" like most young girls.

[Stardoe]

I agree. Maria dresses like a kid and although I don't think that sort of clothing should be worn by anyone over 20 I think Maria's clothes are very cute and my girls are having a ball dressing like that, particularly as that kind of dress hasn't hit our fashions yet. I like that the kids in SJA are kids, even though Maria professes not to be a kid. Typical teen attitude.

[sarah_janesmith]

Marias so cute i just wanna wrap her in a blanket and take her home with me.

[Revolutionaren]

Oh God yes! They need referring to at least! Or even an onscreen cameo (a scene in Sarah's wardrobe, prehaps?) and ideally, one of the Kids to mock them.

[Revolutionaren]

:0! There's nothing wrong with tweed! I quite like tweed personally (and am only 18), it works well with my hair colouring and complexion.
But seeing that Sarah is not ginger, it's best she stayed away, I agree.

[Revolutionaren ()]

Biking leathers, jacket, trousers or a one piece, either way.

And bizarrly, I want to see her in an UNIT uniform. I just have a thing for military uniforms, I'm so weird.
UNIT uniform as in not camoflage, but rather jacket, shirt, tie and a funky hat.
Just to clarify.

The skirt would have to be a kilt-type or A-line skirt, something free-swinging to allow full range of motion.  A straight skirt just is not a good wardrobe item for running about, getting into trouble and fighting aliens.   Jamie could get away with socks and hikers (always thought that was terribly practical of him, nicking some steel-toed hikers from the TARDIS wardrobe, to go with his kilt) but Sarah would need a pair of opaque tights to keep a) the lechers from leching and b) her legs warm :-P    If she wore a pair of slouchy socks over top and a pair of steel-toed hikers, she'd be rockin' ^__^

[Katzedecimal]

We need more Coat of Awesome.  That thing rocks and she rocks when rockin' it.

We need some nicer cardigans too, some that don't end all one inch up from each other at the waist and thus make her waist look thicker than it actually is (that and that her clothes shrank in the wash...)  I'd love to see her in a longish coat-style cardigan, perhaps over a simple turtle-necked t-shirt.

The Boots are lovely and I would not mind their return.  Myself, I would love to see Sarah rock a pair of Pennangalan L5 Storm boots, either with the Commando sole or the Gloria sole (admittedly less practical for prodding Raxacoricofallapatorian buttock but would look awesome doing so)

A short (waist-length) capelet would look lovely on Our Lady of Perpetual Awesomeness.

I would love to see Sarah in some formal evening dress.  I picture a figure-skimming full-length velvet dress with a halter-neck, perhaps with a shimmery taffeta evening jacket (until the party gets too warm and she has to take it off.)   I think something like that would show off her lovely figure and arms, retain her dignity and poise, and redefine "sexy" in the minds of the MTV generation ^_~

I was thinking tiered skirt. Dark purple or brown, quite long. They seem to be back in at the moment. You can actually get tasteful ones. With boots. Cream or white Jacobite top and maybe her waist coat. Oh dear, I think I've just described half of Dr #4's attire in Deadly Assassin. lol I'd also like to see her in some sort of track suit. Pants, top & matching sleeveless hooded vest. With joggers on her feet. You can get really crazy looking joggers these days. I have a pair of orange/silver/grey/black ones with lacey stuff on them. Really cool. One of my kids has black/red/silver/lace ones. I'd also like to see what she wears when out in the garden, gardening.

Wholly agree on both counts.
Also, I think at some point she should have to wear some kind of weird costume, to go undercover or something. I don't know what, just something cute and bizarre...

I hope that Sarah will wear more boots and hats.  I never really got into boots and hats before, having developed my fashion sense in the late eighties and early nineties.  Back then, we were all just realizing how ugly the "moon boot" trend had been, and so we were wearing dress flats or canvas sneakers (Keds, etc.) all the time--even in the Minnesota snow.  And we all had big hair, so of course we couldn't wear hats, since hats would flatten our hair.  Hee-hee.  But now, after seeing how the boots and hats that Sarah wears are so pretty, I have a renewed interest in those items.  Plus, boots and hats (as well as hair styles!) are much sleeker these days...I'd like Sarah Jane to pull my fashion sense into the 21st century by showing me some awesome new boots and hats in Series Two.  :)
