Hands: I've gone through most of the affordable high street brand winter gloves - they are all gash. The only ones that do the job (even when very cold and/or wet) are the De Feet merino gloves.
Feet: Thick merino socks, under a pair of SealSkins when inclement. I just use the same shoes as during summer... those with less ventilation would be miles better though obviously if you tend to feel the cold in your feet. Make sure your socks and shoes aren't too tight. Very important.
Top: Goretex Paclite over a merino baselayer and wool jersey (or just a jumper, hoodie, etc).
Bottom: Budget fleecy bib tights under usual baggies, or army surplus Goretex trousers if wet.
Head: A hat.
