I am moving to a city where the average temp is low, especialy in the winter. So for people who live in cold areas, do you have any recommendation for clothes. Any tips overall would help too.

Don't cheap out on your jacket. If you can afford to spend 2-300 on a winter coat do it. Most the coats at that price have 2 or 3 removable layers so you end up with a coat that can take you through the whole year. With a decent coat the rest of your clothes don't matter to much unless you're in the elements for awhile then you just have to wear some long johns under your pants. So I guess also add long johns to your list.

Layers. Use thin under shirts long or short sleeved and layer up. That way as you get warmer it's easier to take one layer off and put it back on when needed. Sweaters, thicker socks, a really good coat/parka, ear muffs (if you don't want to muss hair), toboggans, mufflers and scarves, good pair of gloves, some heavy duty shoes like waffle stomper type/hiking or galoshes/snow boots. There's even an electric heated jacket that is washable. I'm from Texas and live in CO now. It takes a few years to acclimate but I still am colder when others are warmer.

so if its really snowy do you recommend hiking boots or tall boots?

With a good coat I don't wear anything under it except a a t-shirt especially if im just doing normal to and from the car and light walking. I always keep a hat and gloves in the pocket just incase. Normal pants would just be jeans with nothing but underwear under then for normal everyday wear.
If I'm going to be in the elements for awhile then I still don't wear anything extra under the coat (unnecessary with a GOOD coat). Only thing I add is some long johns under my pants and thick socks. Really though if you're moving to a cold environment buying a couple pairs of wool socks wouldn't be a bad idea. As for shoes I don't wear boots unless I'm shoveling snow or know I'm going to be trekking through deep snow. Otherwise I wear a decent pair of shoes and they work fine (don't wear slip ons or anything else obviously thin).
Not to sound like a broken record but the coat is the most important. This is the only thing I buy name brand because the generics just don't last as long and are no where near as warm even though they seem thicker and heavier. Some good brands are columbia, north face, or patagonia. I personally thing columbia is about the best bang for the buck but there's alot of opinions.

Depends on how far you have to walk and how deep the snow is etc...I have sprayed many pairs of regular and hiking shoes with that water repellent stuff and it works great! Try many different pairs on and see what is most comfy for you. Also think about how long in the day you'll be wearing them and if you can bring a more comfy pair to work in and store the ones used to commute to work in or not. I just picked up a "zero Fahrenheit" warmth rated CK parka at mens wearhouse for 80 bucks. It's the warmest jacket I ever had really. Plus it's super lightweight and packable to a small bag that came with it. You don't have to buy name brand stuff, just look for the same tech when looking for a good coat, jacket, and sweaters. Try a lot of stuff on. Move around in them before buying. I like to shop though, some people don't.

Lots of thick, durable pants. And lots of sweaters/hoodies/jackets. I like 2 layers myself, a t-shirt and a warm sweater/hoodie. If its really cold, I will put on a fleece-lined jacket instead of a regular hoodie zip-up jacket.
And some nice gloves and beanie are nice to have as well when you are outside a lot.

Yes! There are! I forgot about those. I had several pairs but them seem to rip apart on me. Maybe I just used them too much 
But those fleece-pants are really nice

so check this out. Im looking on columbia right now and the options that relate to what you guys are talking about are insulated and down, fleece, 3 and 1 interchange, parkas and rainwear. Insulated just looks like puffer coats which I am not into, i thought they would look a little different. This actually looks good i think https://www.columbia.com/p/mens-rockfall-down-jacket-1910621.html?dwvar_1910621_color=242&pos=4 or https://www.columbia.com/p/mens-barlow-pass-550-turbodown-jacket-1619281.html?dwvar_1619281_color=014&pos=17 Gimme your thoughts please

There is a point where I make sets of layered shirts. Short sleeve long sleeve and a thicker long sleeve sweater. Always long johns and when gets colder upper thermal goes on or sub the lighter long sleeve with a thermal. All about the layers. Just grab them and go. Sometimes lazy enough to wash all in one. Long johns and jeans then an added snow pants if low amount of energy exerted.
If I’m snowboarding long johns snowboard pants. Wool socks. Long sleeve shirt and nice snowboard jacket. If in the teens add a layer. And a neck gator. Powder skirt a must on my jacket that ties into the pants. And a light beanie. Good gloves button jacket sleeves tight then cinch gloves around jacket sleeves. And a few grams of herb

This is very important. I learned this when I lived in Chicago. The layers need to be easy peel-off cuz you may be out and about in freezing conditions and then when you get indoors with all the heat going, you will burn up if you can't get some of that garb off.

Once you sweat in your clothes you are asking for a bad time. So it's important to cool off if you get hot. Layers make that easy.

This is very important.
Absolutely the most important consideration when dressing for the cold:
1. Base should be thin and moisture wicking. 2. Mid layers should be insulating, thermal or fleece. 3. Outer layer should be shell/wind breaking.
I'd advise a couple of mid layers so you can peel off where needs be/avoid going down to the base layer, as you want that one tight.
