Clothes
This Doctor had several variations of dress.
He had been seen wearing a dark brown (with blue pinstripes) suit (DW: The Christmas Invasion through Doomsday), a blue (with red pinstripes) suit (DW: Smith and Jones through Journey's End) and on rare occasions, a tuxedo. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen, The Age of Steel, The Lazarus Experiment, Voyage of the Damned)
To go with his suits he usually wore a shirt and a tie (otherwise, open-shirted with a light grey t-shirt/vest) (DW: Tooth and Claw), (DW: Planet of the Ood), a red-hued t-shirt. (DW: 42) or a black t-shirt ((DW: Midnight). Both brown and blue suits are often accompanied by a light brown overcoat (which he claims was given to him by Janis Joplin). (Source?)
The blue suit was obtained by the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor upon his generation and was last seen being worn by this clone Doctor in Pete's World. (DW: Journey's End) However, there is an unconfirmed report that suggests the Doctor may own more than one of these suits. (DW: Music of the Spheres)
His choice of footwear was trainers (more specifically Converse All Stars), in colours ranging from cream (to go with his brown suit), black (for wearing with a tuxedo and on one occasion with his brown suit) or burgundy to go with the blue suit). Another part of the Doctor's attire was a pair of dark tortoise-shell rectangular frame glasses which he called "brainy specs". Although he has been seen to put them on numerous occasions, he once confessed that he didn't need them, they just made him look smarter. (DW: Time Crash)
Alternate timeline
- In the parallel timeline known as Donna's World, this incarnation of the Doctor was the last, as he was killed as a result of his defeating the Empress of the Racnoss without the aid of Donna Noble (who in this timeline never met the Doctor).

Behind the Scenes
Casting
David Walliams was the second choice for the role of the Tenth Doctor but he had to turn it down because he was stuck in the tight scheduele of the third season of his show Little Britain. The original choice for the role of the Tenth Doctor was an unknown and (unnamed by the BBC) actor who spoke in a cockney accent, but he didn't get the role because he moved down to Australia with his wife and daughter, his name has never been revealed publicly to protect his privacy, however Tennant has stated in interviews he's been told who the original choice for the role was, knows who he is and greatly admires him, even calling that near casting decision a more perfect casting than him being cast.
Costuming
David Tennant described his costume "geek chic". According to an interview on Parkinson, David Tennant and Russell T. Davies got the idea for the Tenth Doctor's costume from an outfit Jamie Oliver had worn on Parkinson just after David had taken the role.
