Hopefully you will be wearing other things than just the coat and the shoes, so maybe you could describe those other things.

I'll move this to Streetwear. Unless you're south of the equator you're going into cold season. Based on the minimal info you've given, I'd suggest some stylized dressy boots (not with a t-shirt), maybe something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Paul-Smith-brown...d=p3286.c0.m14 Actually I wouldn't suggest a t-shirt with a trench coat no matter what. Find some more casual shirts with a collar. Check out other threads on 'what shoes with denim', there are tons of them.

I was gonna say ratty chuck taylors, tube socks with the stripes, sunglasses and bucket hat, and you'll be set to free willy.
