I'm an asian guy, brunette, 5'10" and on the chubby side. So, I'll be totally honest in admitting that the game Bloodborne got me into this style of fashion. But everywhere I've looked online it's always either full blown cosplays or overly flamboyant outfits that do not exactly look right for day to day wearing.
I've settled on a thigh length black overcoat + black waistcoat combo like in the attachment with a light grey scarf for that frill look, but I'm lost as to what kinds of shirts and pants would go well with it, plus I'm undecided on what shoes to wear with it too. Any and all advice is appreciated deeply.

If you're looking for an all-black look with the grey accents, I would suggest a black and grey shirt, try for more black then grey within the shirt itself. I would also go for a solid black pant, try to either match the material or go with a denim/canvas, and for shoes, I would go with a boot, try the Belvedere Exotics line if you're looking for a slightly more flamboyant look, or a worn black leather that fits you well. Overall, any accessories that are metal should be as close in color to the buttons as possible, that goes for any metal on the boots as well, or if you're looking for a couple of bracelets to wear with it, go with black worn leather.
