This is a really, really terrible name for this trope — it's not even from a FAMOUS line from the Trope Namer, just a random aside in dialogue.

How about "Unusually Uninteresting Outfit"?

I agree that the trope should be renamed to make more sense, but your name suggestion doesn't indicate that the trope is about time travel.

"Acceptable Anachronistic Accoutrements" might work, it's both a little more broad and has some alliteration and similar flow to "Unusually Uninteresting Outfit." Plus the [[sesquipedalian loquaciousness]] is still in keeping with that Whovian spirit of the original [[Trope Namer]].

I know it's been a long time, but I'll have to agree with the motion to rename this trope. I read this trope name and thought it meant Differently Dressed Duplicates.

This is a so-so name, and I would concur with a rename. That said, a rename motion will have to be offered in the Trope Repair Shop forum.

How has this been to the trope repair shop twice (quite rightly for being an egregious case of trope namer syndrome) and still nothing has been done about it?
