While out for a cigarette break I heard a group of female colleagues talking. One of them was saying she went to the mall this weekend (the best one in my city), she saw the Rolex shop and how impressed she was. But, one huge disappointment: the guys that were shopping there and trying on watches worth tens of thousands of euros were not dressed appropriately. They didn't look rich. How is she supposed to know that a guy has money if he doesn't show it. To which a second woman interjected: "exactly! I turned down a guy that looked plain only to later find out he owned a villa in [affluent part of city]"

I have enough invested I haven't had to work in many years, but I usually dress like I'm on my way to a podunk YMCA. Even for my winter sports, which I love, I manage to stay warm and dry in extreme conditions for very cheap. I could be head to toe in North Face and Patagonia, but why?
Wealth display is expensive. Ironically it makes the thing you're trying to display - go away. I would rather get quietly richer over time.

I about to be moving to a much more winter climate for college so any recommendations on staying warm and dry for cheap?

Base layer is most important. Medium weight polypropylene long underwear if you can find it, polyester a second choice. Never cotton. You can get wool thermal underwear that isn't itchy, but it's expensive.
Thick wool for socks. I like Smartwool PhD Heavy socks. All I need on my legs after that is a thin wind shell and gaiters for deep snow.
For my upper body some kind of synthetic pullover and either a synthetic fill puffy vest or a fleece vest (ultra-cheap at Walmart) and a fleece lined parka with a hood. Remove the vest when you get warmed up before you get sweaty.
A fleece cap that covers my ears and on a super windy day a light neoprene face mask or a zip front balaclava. Mittens not gloves for cold days, with Gore-Tex and lots of insulation. 600 grams of Thinsulate in the boots and Gore-Tex. You can substitute leather for Gore-Tex on gloves and boots if you put a lot of SnowSeal beeswax treatment on it.
I'm actually skiing today and that's pretty much what I'm wearing. For just daily wear in a wintery climate, do the socks, vest, parka, hat, and gloves. For a chore like shoveling deep snow in town, a cheap solution for boots is thick wool socks + high top rubber farm boots.
