Grey or Navy blue sweater?

It's an eye sore.
Signed, million man.

Looks like an intern's uniform for the Wet Bandits.
shareThe coat looks very nice as do the shoes.
shareBoth look nice. Grey goes better with the shoes.
I wouldn't usually wear gloves that color, but if they're warm, go for it.
Thanks. I'm off to New York City in a couple of weeks, so I want to dress appropriately for the winter. Grey has better contrast for sure. I think grey has more casual feel to it; whereas, the navy blue makes it seem more "formal".
--Michael D. Clarke
Is that a self-portrait? You look good man. Hope you have a great time. Might be a little too heavy for fall in NYC but layers work because you can take stuff off if it’s too warm.
shareI don’t like the colour of the gloves, sorry.
shareDark brown would be better?
--Michael D. Clarke
Black would be perfect - it goes with everything.
shareI was thinking the same thing. The gloves clash here. Black would be the choice.

Much better đź‘Ť
shareI'd recommend navy, charcoal gray, or black gloves. Everything else is fine. You look like you're visiting the Pacific Northwest in the wintertime.
shareI think I'll change the hat too. It makes me look like a robber. Or better yet wear no hat.
--Michael D. Clarke
The sock hat and long coat evoke images of people who live in the Seattle and Portland, Oregon areas. It's not a bad thing, it's just, that look is very popular in that part of the US during the cold seasons. If you really want to invoke the robber look, wear a ski mask (like the kind that looks like a knit hat, but with holes for the eyes and mouth), fingerless gloves, a black hoodie, and torn black jeans.
shareA knit cap (aka ski cap) is for really cold weather, or chilly weather with wind so strong it would blow a hat right off one's head. In cool/cold weather that doesn't rise to that level, a wool hat such as a fedora, an outback hat, or a flat cap (Irish cap) are popular and look very nice..
Does NYC get really cold in late November and early December?
--Michael D. Clarke
My weather memory isn't so great. I once told some out-of-State friends who were making their first trip to NYC that the first week in September wouldn't be too hot and it ended up being quite hot and humid.
shareI see you in a flat cap

What colour should I get?
--Michael D. Clarke
With a blue coat, blue or grey

I saw this after I posted above, yes, dark grey looks very smart.
shareThanks. Navy blue or black or grey gloves then?
--Michael D. Clarke
Black gloves are the most versatile (agree with AndyKing). If i were to buy blue/brown/grey gloves they would be dark of that color.
shareWhat about a scarf? Or don't even bother?
--Michael D. Clarke
Only necessary on very cold days IMO.
It sounds to me like you need to find a really good men's store, or department store with a really good men's section. It's their job to advise you on what goes with what.

Well done!
Brown pants or blue jeans would work as well. And yes, blue and green can go together:

I think I prefer the green pants in your side-by-side.
Thanks. It seems switching to turtleneck sweater really elevated the look. One thing, would dark brown gloves have been better to match the shoes more?
Yes, I have brown Docker pants which I need to get tailored because it looks too wide. I'm trying to move away from blue jeans to be honest.
--Michael D. Clarke
There comes a point where you don't want to overthink it. Black goes with everything as AndyKing says. I have three pair (various heaviness), two are black and one is dark grey and honestly I don't ever think about whether they match.
